Bajaj Auto India has today (May 3) launched its most powerful bike Bajaj Pulsar NS400Z in India. The bike is equipped with features like Bluetooth connectivity, navigation, dual channel ABS and switchable traction control system.
The company has kept its ex-showroom price at Rs 1.85 lakh. This price is Rs 45,815 less than the Bajaj Dominar 400 and only Rs 34,171 more than the Pulsar N250, making it the cheapest street-naked motorcycle in the 400cc segment.
Booking of the bike has started, interested customers can book it online or by visiting their nearest dealership by paying token money of Rs 5000. The bike competes with KTM Duke 390, Triumph Speed 400, TVS Apache RTR 310 and Husqvarna Svartpilen 401 in the sporty 400cc segment.
The design of the Pulsar NS400Z is similar to other models in the Pulsar NS lineup. The front of the bike has an LED projector headlight with lightning bolt shaped daytime running lights (DRL). The golden coloured front forks add premiumness to the overall look of the bike. The Pulsar NS400Z has a muscular fuel tank and the tank extensions are more curved than the Pulsar NS200.
The tank has a graphic of 'NS' and it has a tank pad like the NS200. Faux vents have been given on the side panel to give the bike a sporty look. It has a split seat setup, which gets a split grab rail for the rear passenger. The tail section gets a sharp design, which is largely NS200. The bike is available in four colour options - Glossy Racing Red, Brooklyn Black, Pewter Grey and Pearl Metallic White.
The Pulsar NS400Z is powered by the same 373cc single-cylinder engine as the Dominar 400, which generates 40PS of power at 8800rpm and a maximum torque of 35NM at 6500rpm. It is tuned to a 6-speed gearbox with slip-and-assist clutch. The company claims that the bike can run at a top speed of 154kmph. It has a 12-litre fuel tank.
