Bajaj Pulsar NS 400 : The Bajaj Pulsar NS 400 is making waves in the Indian motorcycle market, blending aggressive styling, thrilling performance, and modern technology. As the most powerful Pulsar yet, it targets riders who crave a streetfighter with a perfect balance of power and everyday usability.
Engine & Performance: Dominar’s Heart with a Sportier Soul
The Pulsar NS 400 borrows its 373cc liquid-cooled, single-cylinder engine from the Dominar 400 but gets a sportier tune for sharper acceleration. Here’s what it delivers:
-
Power: 40 bhp (competitive in the 400cc segment)
-
Torque: 35 Nm (strong low and mid-range punch)
-
Transmission: 6-speed gearbox with a slipper clutch (smooth downshifts)
-
Performance: Optimized for quick acceleration and highway stability
Unlike the Dominar’s relaxed tuning, the NS 400 has a more responsive throttle, making it ideal for spirited riding.
