▼Bajaj Auto has officially launched the updated Pulsar NS400Z featuring a brand new 350cc engine. Replacing the older 373cc unit, this new 349.13cc liquid-cooled motor perfectly aligns with the revised performance lineup of the brand. Delivering 40bhp and 33.2 N · m of torque, the motorcycle retains its highly attractive starting price of Rs 1.93 lakh ex-showroom, making it an unbeatable value proposition in the Indian market.
Engine and Performance Upgrades
The most significant change in the updated flagship streetfighter is the introduction of a new 349.13cc liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine. This robust powertrain replaces the earlier 373cc unit and shares its core architecture with the recently updated Dominar 400.
While the new setup produces 40bhp at 9000rpm and 33.2 N · m at 7500rpm, which represents a slight drop in peak output numbers, the real-world performance character is vastly improved. Riders can expect a much smoother power delivery curve, resulting in highly usable performance for daily city commuting and highway cruising alike.
Favourable Taxation and Efficiency
Moving to an engine displacement just under the 350cc mark is a highly strategic move by the automaker. This specific capacity helps position the vehicle within a more favourable taxation bracket in various regions,s directly contributing to overall cost efficiency without sacrificing the exhilarating riding experience.
Unchanged Aggressive Design
In terms of aesthetics,s the brand has wisely chosen not to fix what is not broken. The motorcycle continues to sport its beloved aggressive streetfighter styling.
- The sharp aerodynamic body panels give the bike a very muscular stance.
- The bold front fascia commands immediate attention on the road.
- The overall silhouette appeals strongly to younger riders seeking a sporty and dominating two-wheeler.
