Bajaj Auto has officially taken the wraps off the updated Pulsar NS400Z for 2025, and it’s already turning heads with its fresh upgrades and powerful enhancements. Priced at ₹1.92 lakh (ex-showroom), the new NS400Z takes everything fans loved about the original and cranks it up a notch, adding both performance and technology-driven features to the mix.
Bajaj Pulsar NS400Z Engine
The biggest change lies under the tank. Bajaj continues to power the NS400Z with the trusted 373cc, liquid-cooled, single-cylinder engine, but there’s now more fire in its belly. The motor now produces 42.4 BHP at 9,000 rpm, up from 39.5 BHP in the previous model — a solid performance bump that’s sure to thrill Pulsar lovers. The peak torque remains at 35 Nm, paired with a 6-speed gearbox for smooth power delivery. What’s more, the 2025 edition now gets a bidirectional quickshifter, a feature that adds seamless upshifts and downshifts, giving it an edge in sporty riding conditions.
Bajaj Pulsar NS400Z Performance
The NS400Z continues to use an upside-down front fork and a monoshock at the rear, offering a more refined and controlled riding experience, especially during cornering and high-speed maneuvers.
One major update is in the tyre department — the bike now comes equipped with wider 150-section Apollo Alpha H1 tyres mounted on 17-inch alloy wheels, giving it not only a more aggressive look but also improved grip on both road and track.
Braking, too, has taken a significant step forward. The bike uses disc brakes at both ends, but Bajaj has now swapped out the earlier organic brake pads for sintered pads, resulting in sharper braking performance and better heat resistance — a crucial upgrade for spirited riding or stop-and-go city traffic.
Bajaj Pulsar NS400Z Console & Riding Modes
The 2025 Pulsar NS400Z isn’t just about muscle — it’s smart too. The bike now features a fully digital LCD instrument console with Bluetooth connectivity, allowing riders to sync their smartphones for notifications and call alerts on the go.
Bajaj has also introduced four dedicated riding modes on the NS400Z:
Road, Rain, Sport, and Off-road — each tailored to offer optimum power delivery and traction depending on the terrain and weather conditions. The inclusion of switchable traction control and dual-channel ABS ensures added confidence and safety in unpredictable riding scenarios.
Final Thoughts
With all the upgrades in performance, safety, and tech, the 2025 Bajaj Pulsar NS400Z has evolved into a more mature, capable, and versatile streetfighter. Whether you’re riding through city streets or pushing limits on twisty roads, this machine is clearly designed to thrill. And at ₹1.92 lakh (ex-showroom), it still stays true to Pulsar’s reputation for offering performance-packed value.
For enthusiasts looking for a modern, powerful motorcycle with aggressive styling and practical features, the NS400Z now stands taller than ever.
