If you’ve been eyeing the Pulsar NS400Z or waiting for a proper upgrade in the performance bike scene, here’s the news you’ve been hoping for—the 2025 Bajaj Pulsar NS400Z has just been leaked, and it’s packing some serious heat. It’s sharper, quicker, and comes loaded with features that make it a real head-turner—both on paper and likely soon on the streets.
Let’s break it down in plain terms—what’s changed, what’s exciting, and why you might want to hold off on that bike purchase for just a little longer.
Same Mean Looks, Now With a Lot More Muscle
At first glance, you’d be forgiven for thinking not much has changed—it still looks like the angry streetfighter we know and love. Those aggressive LED DRLs shaped like lightning bolts, the projector headlamp, the sculpted tank shrouds, and the stealthy black alloys—they’re all still here.
But the big deal is hiding under the bodywork. The 373cc liquid-cooled engine now pumps out 43 PS, up from the already-impressive 40 PS. That may not sound like a big leap on paper, but trust me, those extra ponies can really wake up the mid-range. It puts the NS400Z in the same ballpark as the old KTM Duke 390 in terms of performance—and that’s no small feat.
And if you’re wondering about torque, expect around 37 Nm, which means punchier throttle response and smoother pulls in any gear.
Quickshifter, Wider Tyres & Better Brakes—Yes, Please!
Now here’s where things get really interesting. Bajaj is finally bringing a quickshifter to the NS400Z. If you’ve never used one before, imagine shifting gears without touching the clutch or rolling off the throttle—it feels slick, fast, and incredibly satisfying. Especially when you’re pushing hard on a twisty road or track.
And it doesn’t stop there. The tyres are getting wider, with 110/70-R17 at the front and 150/60-R17 at the rear, courtesy of Apollo’s grippy Alpha H1s. Whether you’re carving corners or just want more confidence in the rain, these tyres will make a big difference.
They’ve also thrown in sintered brake pads, which means stronger stopping power and better heat resistance—perfect for those who ride hard and fast.
Same Tech Goodies, No Visual Gimmicks
Bajaj knows the NS400Z already has a strong identity, so they’ve wisely chosen not to mess with the styling. It still comes with an LCD display featuring Bluetooth connectivity, turn-by-turn navigation, and four ride modes—Rain, Road, Sport, and Off-Road. Yes, it’s still one of the most feature-loaded bikes in its segment.
Paint options like Brooklyn Black, Racing Red, Pearl White, and Pewter Grey will stick around too—each one adding its own vibe.
Other specs? Still solid. Wheelbase of 1,344 mm, ground clearance of 168 mm, and seat height of 807 mm means it’s manageable for most riders. Weight? 174 kg—not too heavy, not too light. Just right for daily commutes and weekend blasts. The 12-litre fuel tank carries over from the NS200, giving you decent range between fuel stops.
Final Thoughts: This Might Be Bajaj’s Best Pulsar Yet
If you’re into streetfighters, love a bit of aggressive styling, and don’t want to spend a bomb for performance, the 2025 Pulsar NS400Z is shaping up to be a killer deal. The extra power, quickshifter, grippier tyres, and better braking setup show that Bajaj is listening to what riders want.
Is it a revolutionary redesign? No. But it doesn’t need to be. It’s smart, meaningful upgrades in all the right places—and that’s exactly what most of us want.
With a slight price bump expected, it’ll still offer great value. And when you factor in the riding thrill, features, and Pulsar’s brand loyalty—it might just be the most complete NS400Z yet.
