Hey brother! Hope you’re having a rocking day! You know, when we talk about sporty Indian bikes, the first name that comes to mind is Pulsar. It’s been a part of every biker’s journey, from school dreams to office commutes. And now, Bajaj has taken things to a whole new level with the Bajaj Pulsar NS400. This is not just another Pulsar — it’s the biggest and boldest one yet. So friend, let’s know something more interesting about this powerful street machine that’s built to rule the roads.
When I first saw the Pulsar NS400, I honestly got goosebumps. It looked muscular, sharp, and aggressive — like a beast ready to take off. And do you know it’s very special or unique that this is the most powerful Pulsar ever made in India? For those who grew up loving Pulsars, this one feels like a dream finally coming true.
Design and Looks
The Bajaj Pulsar NS400 carries the familiar NS DNA but with a bigger, meaner personality. It’s muscular, stylish, and perfectly balanced between sport and street. The front features sleek LED projector headlights with DRLs that give it an angry, sharp look. The tank is big and sculpted, the side panels are aerodynamic, and the rear section is neat with a floating tail design.
The build feels premium, and the paint finish has that rich metallic touch. You can get it in colors like Racing Red, Brooklyn Black, Pearl White, and Graphite Grey. Personally, I love the Racing Red — it gives that fiery and bold presence on the road. So brother, when you park this beast anywhere, people will surely turn their heads and say — “Wow, that’s the new Pulsar!”
Engine and Performance
Now, let’s talk about the heart of the beast. The Bajaj Pulsar NS400 is powered by a 373cc liquid-cooled engine, the same one that comes from the Dominar 400 but tuned differently to match Pulsar’s sporty DNA. It produces around 40 PS of power and 35 Nm of torque, which means this bike flies when you twist the throttle.
Do you know it’s very special that the NS400 gives you that same Pulsar thrill but with more maturity and control? The 6-speed gearbox with slipper clutch makes shifting smooth, and the throttle response is sharp and exciting. Whether you’re accelerating on highways or overtaking in traffic, it never disappoints. The top speed goes beyond 160 km/h, which is crazy for a street naked bike in this segment.
Ride and Handling
So friend, let’s talk about how it feels when you actually ride it. The handling of the Pulsar NS400 is superb. Bajaj has done a great job balancing power and comfort. The bike feels light on corners and steady on straights. The chassis is strong and rigid, giving confidence while riding at high speeds.
The front gets USD forks and the rear has a mono-shock, which absorb bumps nicely and give you that planted feel on rough roads. I rode the NS200 before, and it already had amazing control — but this NS400 takes it to another level. You can lean into corners confidently, and it feels stable even at 120+ km/h. That’s where you realize Bajaj has really worked hard on dynamics.
Features and Technology
The Bajaj Pulsar NS400 isn’t just powerful; it’s smart too. It comes with a fully digital instrument cluster with Bluetooth connectivity. You get features like turn-by-turn navigation, call and SMS alerts, ride statistics, and gear position indicator. The display is bright and clear even under sunlight.
So brother, let’s know something more interesting — the bike also offers riding modes, something new for Pulsar fans! You can switch between Sport, Rain, and Road modes depending on the situation. There’s also dual-channel ABS and traction control system, which add a safety net when you’re pushing hard. That’s the kind of tech that makes this bike not just fun but also safe for all kinds of riders.
Brakes and Tyres
The braking setup is strong and confidence-inspiring. You get 320mm front disc and 230mm rear disc brakes, both equipped with dual-channel ABS. The bite feels precise, and the feedback is solid — exactly what you want in a performance bike. The tyres are wide and sticky, offering excellent grip on city roads and highways. Even in wet conditions, it stays composed.
I’ve always believed brakes define your confidence on a bike, and with NS400, Bajaj has nailed it. Whether you’re speeding down open roads or navigating traffic, the brakes inspire full trust.
Comfort and Practicality
Brother, the NS400 may look sporty, but it’s surprisingly comfortable. The seat is wide and soft, suitable for long rides. The riding position is slightly leaned forward — sporty but not extreme. It gives you that feeling of control without straining your wrists or back.
The pillion seat is small but manageable for short rides. The mirrors offer a clear view, and the switchgear feels premium. The build quality feels strong, just like a true performance bike should. Even though it’s powerful, it’s perfectly fine for daily commuting too.
Mileage and Efficiency
Now, let’s talk about mileage — because performance is fun, but fuel bills are not! The Bajaj Pulsar NS400 gives around 28–30 km/l in city conditions and around 35 km/l on highways if you ride calmly. For a 400cc bike with this much power, that’s actually good. The fuel tank capacity is around 13 litres, which gives you a range of nearly 400 km — enough for a weekend trip without worrying about refuelling often.
Price in Our Town
So brother, the big question — how much will it cost in our town? The Bajaj Pulsar NS400 starts at around ₹1.85 lakh (ex-showroom) and goes up to ₹2.05 lakh depending on the variant. In our town, after taxes and insurance, the on-road price would be around ₹2.10–₹2.35 lakh, which is honestly a great deal for what it offers.
Think about it — a 400cc performance bike with advanced tech, strong design, and Indian reliability under ₹2.5 lakh on-road? That’s pure value for money!
Real-Life Example
Let me tell you about my friend Arjun. He’s been a Pulsar fan since college and owned the NS200 for years. When the NS400 was launched, he was one of the first to test-ride it. After the ride, he literally said, “Bhai, this is not a bike; it’s a rocket!” He told me it felt smoother, faster, and more refined than he expected. Now, he’s planning to upgrade soon because it’s everything a Pulsar lover could ask for — just bigger and better.
Why It’s Worth Buying
So friend, here’s my personal opinion — the Bajaj Pulsar NS400 is the perfect bike for those who want thrilling performance without spending superbike-level money. Do you know it’s very special that Bajaj has finally given Indian bikers a 400cc Pulsar that combines power, practicality, and passion in one? It’s like a dream fulfilled for all of us who grew up admiring the Pulsar lineup.
If you love speed, control, and that aggressive Pulsar style, this bike won’t disappoint. It’s perfect for city rides, long trips, and everything in between.
