For every motorcycle lover in India, the name “Pulsar” strikes a familiar and thrilling chord. And now, the excitement is building once again as Bajaj Auto prepares to launch the updated 2025 Pulsar NS400Z. Ahead of its official arrival, the bike has already started making its way to dealerships, as seen in a video that’s been making waves online. While the updates might seem small at first glance, they bring meaningful improvements that riders are sure to appreciate.

Better Tyres for a Safer and Sportier Ride

Let’s start with what your eyes might not catch immediately, the tyres. Bajaj has made a smart switch here, upgrading the rear with chunkier 150-section Apollo Alpha H1 radial tyres, replacing the older 140-section MRF REVZ ones. This wider profile, paired with Apollo’s superior grip quality, means a lot more confidence when leaning into corners or enjoying a spirited ride on a straight stretch. The front tyre sticks to the same size but now also wears Apollo rubber, ensuring consistency and grip across both wheels.

Improved Braking for Extra Confidence

Another under-the-radar change is the move from organic brake pads to sintered ones. While that might sound technical, it’s great news for safety. Sintered brake pads offer better heat resistance and improved stopping power, making your rides not only more thrilling but also much safer.

Now Compliant with OBD-2B Norms

And in step with the evolving industry standards, the 2025 Pulsar NS400Z now complies with the newer OBD-2B emission norms. Thankfully, this upgrade doesn’t affect the bike’s strong performance figures; it still churns out a punchy 39.4 bhp and 35 Nm of torque. So you’ll get the same powerful performance, now with cleaner emissions.

Features That Make It a Complete Package

Feature-wise, the new Pulsar NS400Z continues to be a tech-packed machine. It offers full LED lighting that looks sharp and enhances visibility, switchable traction control to give you more confidence on tricky roads, and four versatile ride modes: Road, Rain, Sport, and Off-road, so you can tune your ride to match your mood or the terrain.

Price Update: What to Expect

Of course, with these upgrades comes a slight price bump. Expect the 2025 model to cost around ₹7,000 to ₹8,000 more than the outgoing version. As of now, the older Pulsar NS400Z is listed at ₹1,81,318 (ex-showroom). Given the updates in safety, tyres, and compliance, this modest hike seems more than justified.

If you’ve been waiting to own a bike that offers a perfect mix of performance, features, and road presence, the new Pulsar NS400Z might just be the ride you’ve been waiting for. It’s bold, it’s refined, and it’s almost here.
