2026 Bajaj Pulsar N250SS Launched at ₹1.59 Lakh With New TFT

Bajaj Auto has officially launched the Bajaj Pulsar N250SS in India at Rs 1,59,406 ex-showroom in Delhi. The new top variant sits above the standard N250 and brings a four-valve engine, a six-speed gearbox with a quickshifter, and a 5-inch TFT console with Google Maps mirroring. It is the first time the SS badge has reached the Pulsar 250, following its debut on the Pulsar N160 earlier this year.

What Is New on the Bajaj Pulsar N250SS

The Bajaj Pulsar N250SS changes the bike in three areas: the engine, the transmission, and the electronics. 

A list of important improvements includes:

• Four-Valve Engine: The 249cc air and oil-cooled engine now features a four-valve head.
• Six-Speed Gearbox: A new six-speed unit has been introduced to take the place of the five-speed gearbox.
• 5-Inch TFT Console: The colour TFT screen has replaced the LCD screen and supports Google Maps mirroring.
• Ride-by-Wire Throttle: An electronic throttle has now provided selectable riding modes.
• Four New Colours: In addition, Atlantic Blue, Brooklyn Black, Fiery Red Orange and Pearl Metallic White.

The same TFT unit is already used on the Pulsar N160 SS, which gives Bajaj a consistent top-spec identity across the Pulsar range.

Engine and Gearbox Upgrades

The most notable change on the Bajaj Pulsar N250SS takes place under the fuel tank. The motorcycle is now powered by a 249cc single-cylinder engine with outputs of 25 PS and 22 Nm as opposed to 24.5 PS and 21.5 Nm of the N250. While the engine has gained only a little bit of power, the new gearbox makes a much more significant impact on the bike's performance.

• Comfortable Highway Travel: The sixth gear means the engine runs in lower revs when on the highway.
• Clutchless Upshifting: The quickshifter allows smooth shifting during spirited riding.
• Mode-Based Throttle: The new ride-by-wire technology can change throttle response according to the riding mode selected, which wasn't possible on the N250.

TFT Console and Features

The bike comes equipped with a 5-inch TFT console instead of the standard LCD display. The console is capable of displaying Google Maps and turn-by-turn navigation which will be advantageous not only for city commutes but for weekend rides as well. 

• Ride Modes & Traction Control System: The bike features five ride modes including Sport, Road, Rain, Off-road and Tour modes that come with a traction control system.
• Charging Port: The bike is equipped with a USB Type-C port for your phone and gadgets.
• Adjustable Levers: The clutch and brake levers can be adjusted as per the rider's hand size.
• Radial Rear Tire: The bike features a wider radial rear tire that provides better grip.
• Lap Timer and Document Holder: Essential features for a track day and daily riding.

Note that the ride modes, traction control, charging port, levers and radial tyre were reported on a dealership-stage bike. Please confirm them against Bajaj’s official brochure before booking.

Bajaj Pulsar N250SS vs Pulsar N250

With an additional payment of Rs 14,136, the Bajaj Pulsar N250SS offers a sixth gear, a quick shifter, a TFT display, and an electronic throttle. Riders who travel miles will find this value to be justifiable. For those who want a basic naked motorcycle, the standard N250 will save them some money.

Price, Colours and Rivals

Bajaj Pulsar N250SS has a price tag of Rs 1,59,406 in Delhi. The four available color schemes benefit from fresh graphics, while some have colored rims. The Suzuki Gixxer 250, which costs Rs 1.85 lakhs, is the nearest rival of N250SS that makes it cheaper by Rs 25000 over the competition and comes equipped with features like a TFT console and quick shifter.

Things to remember before booking:

• On-Road Pricing: The final cost will definitely exceed the prices mentioned here since the registration, insurance, etc., charges are not included in these prices. So, take a written quotation from your closest dealer.
• Test Ride: Check both versions and try the quickshifter, TFT menus, and riding modes of the motorcycle before deciding on the model of N250SS.
• Availability: Availability of specific colors and delivery timelines may be different in various cities, so kindly check it with the nearest dealer.

Conclusion

The Bajaj Pulsar N250SS steps in the evolution of the quarter-litre Pulsar range. It comes with a four-valve engine, a six-speed gearbox, a quickshifter, and a TFT console, costing about Rs 14,000 more than the N250. The engine gains just 0.5 PS and 0.5 Nm; hence, the gearbox and the electronics are the real updates in the Pulsar. The motorcycle is made for those who want the latest technology along with comfortable cruising on the highway. Meanwhile, short-distance riders can stick to the standard N250 version.
