Bajaj Pulsar NS250 Ends KTM’s Dominance: Top-Notch Speed, Costs Way Less

Get ready for a big twist in the bike scene ‘cause Bajaj is about to drop the Pulsar NS250. It’s gearing up to take on KTM’s spot at the top in the fancy fast bike world. This beast of a road warrior hitting the streets early 2025, is set to bring the thunder with its crazy good performance and cool features. And get this, it’s gonna cost you half the dough, which might just shake things up big time in the world of 250cc machines.

Looks and Style

The Pulsar NS250 shows off a mean streetfighter look that gets its vibes from the popular NS series. This bike flaunts edgy shapes and some real cool LED lights, like a projector lamp up front and those flashy LED DRLs. It’s got a beefy gas tank split seats, and a sleek tail that just scream street cool and can face off with the gear from Austria.

When you check out the build, it’s clear Bajaj stepped up their game—a lot. Quality stuff and snug fit on the panels all over. The eye-candy factor shoots up with a slick all-electronic LCD display. Y’know, the one that hooks up with your phone through Bluetooth, so it’s right up there with the fancy bikes everyone’s talking about.

Performance and Engineering

At the core of the NS250, a 248.77cc liquid-cooled engine with one cylinder puts out a lively 27 HP at 8,500 rpm and 23.5 Nm of torque at 6,500 rpm. Married to this engine is a 6-speed transmission with a slipper clutch that guarantees slick shifting and more control when you’re downshifting hard. The bike’s strong performance also gets a boost from its high-tech frame built with a perimeter design to make sure it handles like a dream. For the suspension, you’ve got USD forks up front and a monoshock in the back that both let you tweak the preload, so it’s just right no matter your ride.

Features and Technology

Bajaj has stuffed the NS250 full of today’s tech pitting it against the fancier bikes out there. You get a solid electronics pack that’s got stuff like dual-channel ABS, grip management, and a bunch of ride settings. On the digital display, you can glance at what gear you’re in how far you can go before you run out of gas, and what your fuel’s doing that very second. Every light on this bike is LED, from the front beam to the back and even the blinkers. Other cool things thrown in are a spot to juice up your phone blinky caution lights, and a nifty red button that cuts the engine off. This ride even has a brainy engine management system that tweaks the power and gas use no matter how or where you ride.

Ride and Handling

Engineers crafted the NS250’s frame to give both nimbleness and steadiness. This bike holds a sweet spot on the roads with a kerb weight of 162 kg making it both easy to handle and noticeable. Its 17-inch tires come with top-notch rubber – 110/70 at the front and 140/70 at the back – to ensure solid traction on different kinds of pavements. A 300mm disc does the braking at the front, and a 230mm one at the back. The two use a system with dual-channel ABS. It has a big influence on braking force and control boosting a rider’s trust whether they’re zipping through city traffic or having fun on open roads.

How It Stands in the Market and Its Cost

Bajaj places the NS250 as a performance bike that’s both high-end and within reach. It’s gonna cost about Rs. 1.45 lakh before taxes, which is quite a bit cheaper than the closest KTM bike. But it still gives you the same sort of zip and cool features. You can grab one in three eye-catching colors, with each one rocking its own special designs that show off how sporty it is. Thanks to Bajaj’s wide dealer spread getting your hands on one and sorting out any after-buy issues is a breeze, which is super important for folks looking to buy in this category.

Power and Ease of Use

The NS250 boasts a fuel efficiency that’s pretty neat—35 kmpl when you’re just riding normal. Toss in its fuel tank that can hold 14 liters, and you’re looking at being able to hit the road for about 490 kilometers. When you’re riding this bike every day or hitting the road on the weekend, its seats are super comfy and all cushiony.
