When you think of a motorcycle that doesn’t just take you places but also speaks to your soul with every rev of its engine, the name Bajaj Pulsar naturally echoes in your heart. For decades, it has been more than just a machine — it’s been an emotion for Indian riders. And now, Bajaj has written a new chapter in this legacy with the arrival of the most powerful Pulsar ever — the Bajaj Pulsar NS400Z.
Built to captivate the spirit of freedom, youth, and unmatched adrenaline, the NS400Z is not just a streetfighter, it’s a dream delivered on two wheels. With advanced tech like ride-by-wire, traction control, four ride modes, and the DNA of a true performer, the NS400Z makes every journey unforgettable — whether you’re cruising through traffic or tearing up the highways.
A New Era of Power: The Heart of the NS400Z
The Bajaj Pulsar NS400Z roars to life with a robust 373cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled BS6 engine. Tuned to deliver 39.4 bhp at 8800 rpm and a torque of 35 Nm at 6500 rpm, this engine is directly borrowed and refined from the Dominar 400, but optimized for street performance. With a six-speed manual transmission and slip-and-assist clutch, the gearshifts feel incredibly smooth and intuitive, making the Pulsar NS400Z an ideal blend of comfort and aggression.
When you twist that throttle, you’re not just accelerating — you’re entering a world where speed meets soul. Capable of reaching a top speed of 154 kmph, the NS400Z ensures that your rides are thrilling without compromising on control. With a mileage of 32 kmpl, it delivers not just speed but also practicality, making it a formidable choice in its segment.
Designed to Rule the Streets
One look at the Bajaj Pulsar NS400Z and you know it’s built to impress. The bold and muscular design language, sculpted fuel tank, sharp creases, and aerodynamic body panels make it a head-turner from every angle. Its LED headlamp with thunder-shaped DRLs and centrally-mounted LED projector not only looks futuristic but also lights up the road with confidence. Offered in four striking colors — Ebony Black, Glossy Racing Red, Metallic Pearl White, and Pewter Grey — the NS400Z lets you make a statement that is uniquely yours.
The street presence of the NS400Z is undeniably strong, weighing in at 174 kg with a comfortable seat height of 807 mm. It strikes the perfect balance between sporty stance and rider comfort, making it accessible for both seasoned riders and newcomers who crave power with control.
Premium Features That Define the Future
What truly sets the Bajaj Pulsar NS400Z apart is its suite of premium features that redefine what riders can expect at this price point. The introduction of ride-by-wire technology offers precise throttle response, giving riders a refined and responsive feel at any speed. It brings four riding modes — Rain, Road, Sport, and Off-road — allowing you to adapt your bike’s behavior based on the terrain or your mood.
The switchable traction control ensures that you remain in command, even in unpredictable road conditions. The dual-channel ABS system works in sync with the high-performance braking setup — a 320mm front disc with 2-piston caliper and 230mm rear disc — offering maximum control under hard braking.
And it doesn’t stop there. The bike also features a fully digital LCD console with Bluetooth connectivity, which not only provides turn-by-turn navigation and call/SMS alerts but also shows your mobile battery status. Whether you’re going for a long weekend ride or navigating urban traffic, the NS400Z keeps you connected and in control.
Comfort and Ride Quality that Surprises
Comfort is where many street bikes compromise — but not the NS400Z. It features 43 mm upside-down front forks and a monoshock rear suspension that absorbs bumps with finesse and keeps the ride incredibly planted. The ergonomics have been carefully crafted so you can ride confidently through traffic or relax on longer highway journeys.
The wide seat offers excellent cushioning, while the handlebar positioning gives a sporty yet comfortable stance. Whether you’re a solo rider or carrying a pillion, the NS400Z ensures a ride experience that feels just right — every single time.
Maintenance That Won’t Break the Bank
Bajaj has ensured that the NS400Z isn’t just thrilling to ride, but also easy on the pocket when it comes to upkeep. The service schedule has been structured keeping in mind the Indian rider’s needs:
- First service at 500-750 km or 30-45 days
- Second service at 4500-5000 km or 240 days
- Third service at 9500-10000 km or 360 days
This predictable and pocket-friendly maintenance cycle makes the NS400Z one of the most practical performance bikes in the segment.
The Competition and Market Positioning
At a price of ₹1,85,176 (ex-showroom), the Bajaj Pulsar NS400Z directly challenges big names like the Triumph Speed 400, KTM Duke 390, TVS Apache RTR 310, and BMW G 310 R. But what gives the NS400Z an edge is how much it offers at a relatively lower cost — ride modes, traction control, ride-by-wire, premium suspension, aggressive styling, and that trusted Bajaj service network.
It’s not just the most powerful Pulsar ever made — it’s the smartest, most connected, and most advanced version of what the Pulsar legacy was always meant to become.
Made for Riders Who Want It All
The Bajaj Pulsar NS400Z is not just another motorcycle. It’s a declaration — that Indian manufacturers can blend performance, technology, style, and affordability into a single, awe-inspiring package. It’s for those who refuse to compromise. For the ones who chase performance but care about safety. For riders who want style but need substance. For India’s youth — driven by passion, fueled by ambition.
If your heart beats faster every time you hear the word ‘Pulsar’, the NS400Z will steal it forever.
