Bajaj Pulsar NS400Z [2025]

<p>Bajaj Auto has made the<a href="https://www.autox.com/new-bikes/bajaj/pulsar-ns400z/"> Pulsar NS400Z </a>more affordable, and this update puts more focus on value without taking away what makes the bike exciting. You still get nearly 40bhp performance, quickshifter, ride modes, traction control, and sharp streetfighter styling, but now at a lower price. With the new 349cc engine, the NS400Z now falls under India’s sub-350cc tax slab, attracting 18 per cent GST. This shift has helped Bajaj cut costs, making the NS400Z a stronger pick for riders who want performance and features without crossing into a higher price bracket.</p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/news/bike-news/bajaj-pulsar-ns400z-updated-with-new-349cc-engine-price-unchanged-123405/">Bajaj Pulsar NS400Z Updated with New 349cc Engine; Price Unchanged</a></p><p>The biggest update is the lower sticker price. The Bajaj Pulsar NS400Z now costs Rs 1.80 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi), down from Rs 1.94 lakh. That is a direct price drop of nearly Rs 14,000. Bajaj says lower insurance and registration charges can push total savings up to Rs 24,500. This makes the NS400Z one of the most affordable motorcycles in India’s 40bhp segment right now.</p><h2><strong>Bajaj Pulsar NS400Z: The 350cc Engine</strong></h2><p>To bring the bike under GST 2.0 rules, Bajaj reduced displacement from 373cc to 349.13cc. It did this by shortening the stroke from 60mm to 56.1mm, while keeping the bore unchanged at 89mm. The liquid-cooled, single-cylinder engine still shares its base with the<a href="https://www.autox.com/new-bikes/bajaj/dominar-400/"> Dominar 400</a>. Bajaj has also kept the six-speed gearbox, so the overall riding character should remain familiar.</p><p>
      <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2026/04/Bajaj-Pulsar-NS400Z-350cc-1776759165289.webp" alt="Bajaj Pulsar NS400Z 350cc.png" style="width: 100%; height: auto;"></p>
    <p>The new 349cc engine makes 40bhp and 33.2Nm, compared to the older bike’s 42.4bhp and 35Nm. Yes, there is a small drop, but on paper, the NS400Z still has enough performance for fast road riding. Peak power comes at 9,000rpm, while peak torque arrives at 7,500rpm. Ride-by-wire continues, so throttle response and riding mode behaviour remain unchanged.</p><h2><strong>Bajaj Pulsar NS400Z: Features </strong></h2><p><a href="https://www.autox.com/new-bikes/bajaj/">Bajaj </a>has not changed the NS400Z’s hardware or feature list. The bike still comes with four riding modes, a quickshifter, traction control, dual-channel ABS, radial tyres, and a Bluetooth-enabled digital console. Riders also continue to get turn-by-turn navigation, which adds daily usability. In simple terms, the bike keeps the same package, just at a lower price.</p><p><img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2026/04/Bajaj-Pulsar-NS400Z-350cc-Rear-1776759173411.webp" alt="Bajaj Pulsar NS400Z 350cc Rear.png" style="width: 100%; height: auto;"></p><p>Bajaj has retained the NS400Z badge despite the smaller engine because the name already has market recall.  The bike still delivers the same core experience, but now with a lower entry price. For enthusiasts looking at performance per rupee, this update makes the NS400Z even harder to ignore.<br></p>

Bajaj Pulsar NS400Z Price Slashed by up to Rs 24,500 Lakh in India

Bajaj Pulsar NS400Z price drops to Rs 1.80 lakh with savings of up to Rs 24,500. New 349cc engine makes 40bhp and keeps its performance-focused ride intact.

<p>Bajaj has quietly updated the Bajaj Pulsar NS400Z, and the biggest change is under the tank. The bike now uses a new 349.13cc liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine in place of the older 373cc motor. This move brings the NS400Z in line with the rest of Bajaj’s updated performance line-up, which has already shifted below the 350cc mark to benefit from the lower GST slab.&nbsp;Interestingly, despite the smaller engine and lower tax bracket, <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-bikes/bajaj/">Bajaj</a> has decided to keep the NS400Z’s price unchanged at Rs 1.94&nbsp;lakh (ex-showroom).</p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/news/bike-news/2026-bajaj-dominar-400-launched-with-350cc-engine-at-rs-203-lakh-123304/">2026 Bajaj Dominar 400 Launched with 350cc Engine at Rs 2.03 Lakh</a></p><h2><strong>Bajaj Pulsar NS400Z: The 350cc Engine</strong></h2><p>The new 349.13cc motor is the same unit that recently made its way into the updated <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-bikes/bajaj/dominar-400/">Bajaj Dominar 400</a>. It produces 40bhp at 9,000rpm and 33.2Nm at 7,500rpm, which is down from the older 373cc engine’s 42bhp and 35Nm figures.</p><p>

The NS400Z still gets the same perimeter frame, upside-down forks, rear monoshock, dual-channel ABS, ride modes, traction control and aggressive streetfighter styling. In short, if you liked the way the old bike looked and handled, there is nothing new to get used to here.</p><p>

It packs plenty of features, has solid road presence and now joins the rest of Bajaj’s sub-350cc line-up under the GST 2.0 framework.</p>

Bajaj Pulsar NS400Z Updated with New 349cc Engine; Price Unchanged

The updated Bajaj Pulsar NS400Z gets a 349cc engine from the Bajaj Dominar 400, lower output and is still priced at Rs 1.93 lakh ex-showroom.

<p>The <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-bikes/bajaj/dominar-400/">Bajaj Dominar 400</a> has been launched in India with a 350cc engine and a price of Rs 2.03 lakh. This displacement change allows the motorcycle to qualify for an 18&nbsp;per cent GST rate, whereas engines exceeding 350cc incur a 40 per cent tax. The 350cc engine comes paired with a six-speed gearbox and a slipper clutch, and that’s a combo most riders will appreciate. Gear shifts should feel smoother, and the slipper clutch will take some stress out of hard downshifts, especially when you are riding fast or dealing with traffic. It’s the kind of setup that makes a difference when you spend long hours on the saddle.</p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/news/bike-news/bajaj-pulsar-180-relaunched-in-india-at-rs-122-lakh-123287/">Bajaj Pulsar 180 Relaunched in India at Rs 1.22 Lakh</a></p><p>Sarang Kanade, President - MCBU, Bajaj Auto Ltd., said: 'Dominar has always stood for our touring DNA - powerful, capable, and built for the long road. With the new Dominar 400 with 350cc engine we are staying true to that promise while making it significantly more accessible. Riders get the same Dominar experience they love, but now with a much lower cost of ownership, including meaningful savings. This is a decisive step towards democratizing touring and sports motorcycling in India.'</p><p>
      
    <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2026/04/Bajaj-Dominar-400-with-350cc-engine-(1)-1776079091559.webp" alt="Bajaj Dominar 400 with 350cc engine (1).png" style="width: 100%; height: auto;"></p><p>Underneath,<a href="https://www.autox.com/new-bikes/bajaj/"> Bajaj </a>has kept the perimeter frame, which has always given the Dominar its stable feel. The upside-down front forks and rear monoshock continue unchanged, and that’s not a bad thing. This setup has proven itself on highways and rough patches, keeping the bike steady without making it uncomfortable.</p><p>Braking is handled by discs at both ends with dual-channel ABS as standard. That’s expected in this segment and does its job well when you need to slow down quickly. The LED headlamp and indicators are part of the package too, helping with visibility during night rides and early morning runs.</p><p>The bike gets a digital instrument cluster that shows the usual data like speed, RPM, and fuel levels, along with a secondary display on the fuel tank for trip details. With this update, Bajaj is clearly trying to bring more riders into the Dominar lineup by offering a lower price, while still keeping the bike relevant for touring and everyday riding.</p>

2026 Bajaj Dominar 400 Launched with 350cc Engine at Rs 2.03 Lakh

The Dominar 400 now gets a 350cc engine, helping Bajaj pass on the 18% GST benefit and making the bike more affordable for buyers in India.

<p>Bajaj has relaunched the Pulsar 180 in India, one of its first motorcycles&nbsp;that helped establish the brand’s strong identity in the country. The bike is offered in a single variant and is priced at&nbsp;Rs 1.22 lakh (ex-showroom). It slots between the <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-bikes/bajaj/pulsar-150/">Pulsar 150</a> and <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-bikes/bajaj/pulsar-220-f/">Pulsar 220F</a> in the lineup. For the uninitiated, the Pulsar 180&nbsp;was first introduced in 2001 alongside the Pulsar 150.&nbsp;While the latter has continued with updates across its two-decade-old journey,&nbsp;the Pulsar 180 was discontinued in 2022. It now returns&nbsp;with cosmetic and feature upgrades to expand Bajaj’s presence in the commuter segment.</p><h2><strong>Bajaj Pulsar 180: Design</strong></h2><p>The bike instantly looks like a Pulsar, with that familiar silhouette. However, <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-bikes/bajaj/">Bajaj</a> has made a few additions to its look, including a single-piece seat, an LED headlight, LED indicators, and a sportier black colour scheme with colour-specific graphics, to help it stand out from its previous version.&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/news/bike-news/bajaj-pulsar-ns400z-launched-in-spain-heres-whats-different-123264/">Bajaj Pulsar NS400Z Launched in Spain: Here's What's Different</a></p><p>The bike is available in five colour options&nbsp;(Black Gold, Black Blue, Black Grey, Black Red, and White).

    <p>The <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-bikes/bajaj/pulsar-180ns/">Bajaj Pulsar 180</a> gets an LCD instrument cluster with Bluetooth connectivity. This supports calls and SMS alerts, but lacks turn-by-turn navigation.&nbsp;</p><p>The reintroduced version of the Pulsar has the same 178.61cc air-cooled, single-cylinder engine that makes 17bhp at 8,500rpm and 15Nm (which is a marginal torque bump of 0.78Nm) at 6,500rpm and is mated to a 5-speed transmission.&nbsp;The bike has ground clearance of 165mm, a fuel tank capacity of 15 litres and a kerb weight of 156kg.</p><p>Hardware-wise, the Pulsar 180 has telescopic front suspension and dual rear shock absorbers. Stopping power comes from disc brakes (front and rear) with single-channel ABS. The Pulsar 180 rides on 17-inch alloys with tubeless tyres.</p>

Bajaj Pulsar 180 Relaunched in India at Rs 1.22 Lakh

Bajaj has relaunched the Pulsar 180 in India at an ex-showroom price of Rs 1.22 lakh. The bike will lock horns with the TVS Apache RTR 180 and the Honda Hornet 2.0. 

<p>Bajaj has expanded its model range in Spain with the NS 400 for EUR 4,499 (approximately Rs 4.83 lakh).&nbsp;The Spain-spec naked streetfighter is about Rs 2.89 lakh more expensive than the India-spec NS400Z,&nbsp;which retails at Rs 1.94 lakh.

Bajaj Chetak C25 Review: Can a 55 km/h EV Make Sense? | autoX

The Bajaj Chetak C25 continues the company's different approach to electric mobility. Instead of chasing headline numbers, it focuses on comfort, refinement, and everyday usability.

<p>While the Chetak EV had a rocky start, it has gone from
strength to strength over the past six years, helping propel Bajaj to second
place in India’s electric two-wheeler market. The Chetak models have always
prioritised a no-nonsense approach, deliberately steering clear of spec-sheet
one-upmanship.</p>
<p>Now, there is a new model in town: the Chetak C2501, or the
C25. It takes the same approach but with a more accessible price tag. This
time, however, Bajaj may have taken the idea of choosing restraint over spec-sheet
numbers a step too far.</p><h2>Bajaj Chetak C25 Design: Familiar Styling with Subtle Changes</h2><p>First and foremost, what I like most about the C25 is its design. Bajaj has made
only minimal changes to the overall styling, but the more compact footprint and
subtly revised contours work in the scooter’s favour. </p><div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
        <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2026/01/Chetak_02-1769149122889.webp" alt="Chetak_02.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
      </div>
    <p>Unlike the existing models, the C25 features LED turn
indicators integrated into the headlamp housing rather than mounted on the
front apron. This is a notable change, although not one I am particularly fond
of. The scooter features 12-inch wheels at both ends, and the revised
alloy-wheel design looks good. The side panel incorporates a graphic element
near the  section, but it appears somewhat tacked on. Had the graphics
extended further along the side panel, the design might have felt more
cohesive.</p><div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
        <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2026/01/Chetak_05-1769149153941.webp" alt="Chetak_05.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
      </div>
    <p>At the rear, the C25 receives a new tail-lamp&nbsp;unit with
integrated turn indicators, and here the design works well. Bajaj has also
retained the all-metal bodywork, with no visible screws – a detail that
continues to lend the Chetak a sense of solidity and premium finish.</p>
<p>The instrument cluster is a colour display, though it stops
short of being a full-fledged TFT like those found on some rival scooters. It
is functional, but I did find certain information difficult to read under
direct sunlight. </p><div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
        <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2026/01/Chetak_04-1769149189583.webp" alt="Chetak_04.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
      </div>
    <p>On a more positive note, the handlebar switchgear has seen a
clear improvement. The switches are thoughtfully designed, fall easily to hand,
and offer a reassuring tactile feel.</p><h2>Bajaj Chetak C25 Space, Comfort and Everyday Usability</h2><p>The C25 has a shorter wheelbase than the existing models – 1,225mm,
to be precise – and this has resulted in a noticeable reduction in underseat
storage. You get 25 litres of space, which is just about enough to accommodate
certain full-facehelmets. </p><div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
        <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2026/01/Chetak_08-1769149230426.webp" alt="Chetak_08.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
      </div>
    <p>Because the cavity is fairly deep, you can also stash a
small bag here. Additionally, there are two pockets in the front apron for
smaller items, along with a baggage hook. There is no USB charger, which, I
think, is a significant omission.</p><p>The seat is long enough to accommodate two average-built
adults, but the cushioning is on the softer side. As a result, longer stints on
the saddle are unlikely to be particularly comfortable. </p><div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
        <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2026/01/Chetak_03-1769149254417.webp" alt="Chetak_03.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
      </div>
    <p>The seat height is a very accessible 763mm, while the 170mm
ground clearance is adequate for everyday use. Surprisingly, despite its
compact proportions, there is ample floorboard space to keep your feet in a
neutral, comfortable position.</p><h2>Bajaj Chetak C25 Battery Range, Motor Output and Ride Modes</h2><p><span>Bajaj
has equipped the C25 with a 3bhp hub-mounted motor, which produces a peak
torque of 114Nm at the wheel. </span></p><div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
        <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2026/01/Chetak_07-1769149291167.webp" alt="Chetak_07.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
      </div>
    <p>Top speed is limited to 55km/h, which is underwhelming. Once
again, we have a Chetak with a lower top speed than most of its rivals. Even if
you look past that figure, the scooter’s acceleration is also nothing to write
home about.</p>
<p>Opt for the Tech Pack, and you get two ride modes – Eco and
Sport. Acceleration in the Eco mode feels far too mild for real-world road use,
but Sport mode does inject a bit more life into the scooter, relatively
speaking.</p><div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
        <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2026/01/Chetak_10-1769149339609.webp" alt="Chetak_10.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
      </div>
    <p>Overall, the C25 moves with very little urgency and is
clearly tuned for relaxed, unhurried commuting. That said, it had no trouble
tackling the inclines I encountered during my ride in Pune, whether in the Eco
or Sport mode.</p>
<p>Powering the scooter is a 2.5kWh battery, which Bajaj claims
delivers a range of 113km (IDC). According to the company, the real-world range
should be closer to 95km. While I did not have sufficient time to verify that
claim, the range still does not feel particularly impressive, especially considering
the modest top speed and the reasonably sized battery pack.</p><h2>Bajaj Chetak C25 Suspension, Comfort and Braking</h2><p>The C25’s overall ride quality is rather poor. This is
largely down to the new suspension setup, which comprises conventional
telescopic forks at the front and twin springs at the rear.</p><div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">

      </div>
    <p>While the scooter rides reasonably well on smooth tarmac and
can absorb minor imperfections, it becomes unforgiving on rougher city roads. A
short 30-minute ride through Pune was enough to leave me feeling like my insides
had been rearranged. The front forks bottom out over most bumps, with very
little absorption to speak of. This is particularly surprising given that
existing Chetak scooters are known for their cushioned and compliant ride
quality. </p><div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
        <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2026/01/Chetak_12-1769149391641.webp" alt="Chetak_12.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
      </div>
    <p>The braking setup consists of a disc brake at the front and
a drum brake at the rear. Braking is fairly progressive and offers good bite
when you use the full travel of the levers. However, braking performance feels inconsistent across different units. Having ridden multiple units of the scooter,
I experienced noticeable variations in braking feel. When the calibration is
right, the scooter stops confidently; when it isn’t, the braking can feel
underwhelming and vague.</p><h2>Bajaj Chetak C25 Price and Review Verdict</h2><p>The C25 is the most affordable Chetak scooter, and it
achieves that position by making substantial compromises in the ride
experience. Yes, it has a certain visual appeal and commendable build quality.
However, when you consider the specifications offered by competing products at
similar price points, it is hard to escape the conclusion that Bajaj has missed
the mark with this one.</p><div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
        <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2026/01/Chetak_09-1769149420818.webp" alt="Chetak_09.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
      </div>
    <p>Had it been priced ₹10,000 – 15,000 lower, these compromises
would have been far easier to justify. Perhaps Bajaj realised this as well and
has consequently offered the first 10,000 customers a discount of ₹4,299,
bringing the ex-showroom price down to ₹87,100. While this is still higher than
it ought to be, it does represent a move in the right direction.</p>

Bajaj Chetak C25 First Ride Review: Easy Come, Easy Go

The new Bajaj Chetak C25 embraces a back-to-basics philosophy, but in today’s numbers-obsessed EV scooter market, has Bajaj made too many compromises?

<p>Bajaj has rolled out the 2026 <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-bikes/bajaj/pulsar-125/">Pulsar 125</a> in India with a starting price of Rs 89,910 (ex-showroom). The Bajaj Pulsar 125 remains the entry point into the Pulsar family and continues to attract riders who want a sporty commuter without moving into higher engine capacities. For this update, Bajaj has not changed the basics. Instead, the brand has focused on small but useful upgrades that matter in daily riding. The motorcycle is available in two variants, including a split-seat version priced higher. The Pulsar 125 still carries the same road presence that made the name popular, while the latest updates help it stay relevant in a segment that sees constant competition.</p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/news/industry-news/ktm-parent-company-rebranded-to-bajaj-mobility-ag-122722/">KTM Parent Company Rebranded to Bajaj Mobility AG</a></p><h2><strong>2026 Bajaj Pulsar 125: What's New?</strong></h2><p>The highlight of the 2026 update is the move to LED lighting. The Pulsar 125 now gets LED headlamps and LED turn indicators as standard. This replaces the older halogen unit and brings the bike closer to the newer Pulsar models already using full LED setups. For riders who spend time on the road after sunset, this is a change that actually makes sense.</p><p>

Four paint options are on offer for 2026. The design remains familiar, but the new combinations give the Pulsar 125 a cleaner and more current look without touching its original shape.</p><h2><strong>2026 Baka Pulsar 125: Engine</strong></h2><p>Power continues to come from the 124.4cc air-cooled single-cylinder engine paired with a five-speed gearbox. There are no changes to output figures, making 11.8bhp and 10.8 Nm of peak torque. The motor keeps the same smooth and predictable nature, making it easy to ride in traffic while still offering enough pull for open stretches.</p><p>

Braking duties are handled by a front disc and rear drum setup with a combined braking system as standard. The digital instrument cluster continues to show speed, fuel level, trip data and service alerts. With dispatches already underway, the 2026 Pulsar 125 is now reaching dealerships across India.</p>

2026 Bajaj Pulsar 125 Launched at Rs 89,910; Gets New LED Head Lamps and More

2026 Bajaj Pulsar 125 gets LED headlamp and LED turn indicators, along with new colours and updated graphics, while continuing with the same engine and hardware setup.

<p>KTM’s parent company has entered a new chapter as Pierer Mobility AG has officially changed its name to Bajaj Mobility AG. This change follows Bajaj Auto completing its full takeover of the group in late 2025.  The new name reflects the ownership structure and sets a clear direction for the group going forward. With Bajaj now fully in control, the focus shifts to how this partnership shapes product plans, racing programmes and global strategy. It also signals a reset at the corporate level, while the core motorcycle brands continue business as usual for riders worldwide.</p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/news/industry-news/bajaj-pulsar-range-gets-discounts-of-up-to-rs-7000-in-india-check-details-122577/">Bajaj Pulsar Range Gets Discounts of up to Rs 7,000 in India; Check Details</a></p><p>The Pierer Mobility name now exits the picture after Bajaj Auto International Holdings BV secured complete ownership of the group. The decision to rename the company was taken in November 2025 and has since been recorded in Austria’s commercial register. With this step complete, the transition from the earlier ownership phase is now formal and visible.</p><p>

It oversees KTM, Husqvarna and GASGAS. The group headquarters have moved to Mattighofen in Austria, and a new corporate logo has been introduced as part of the rebrand.</p><p>

Bajaj Auto has positioned the takeover as a step to stabilise operations and bring all brands under a single global structure. The key question now is how this backing supports future motorcycles and motorsport efforts.</p><p>

Around 500 jobs will be cut, mainly in white-collar and middle management roles. This follows an internal restructuring completed in 2025 and is aimed at managing costs and keeping the focus on the core motorcycle business.</p>

KTM Parent Company Rebranded to Bajaj Mobility AG

KTM’s parent company is now Bajaj Mobility AG after Bajaj Auto’s full takeover, marking a new phase for KTM, Husqvarna and GASGAS with restructuring underway.

<p>Bajaj Auto has expanded its electric scooter range with the launch of the new Chetak C25 in India. Priced at Rs 91,399 (ex-showroom), the C25 becomes the most accessible model in the <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-bikes/bajaj/chetak/">Chetak</a> lineup and sits below the Chetak 35 series. This launch clearly targets riders who want to switch to electric without stretching their budget beyond the Rs 1 lakh mark. The scooter is powered by a 2.5kWh battery and claims an IDC-certified range of 113km, which suits daily city use. Production takes place at Bajaj’s Chakan plant in Pune, and sales will happen through existing Bajaj dealerships across the country. </p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/news/bike-news/ktm-rc-160-vs-yamaha-r15-spec-comparison-whats-different-122626/"> KTM RC 160 vs Yamaha R15 Spec Comparison: What's Different?</a></p><p>Deliveries are expected to begin shortly as stocks reach showrooms.</p><h2><strong>Bajaj Chetak C25: Design</strong></h2><p>In terms of design, the Chetak C25 stays true to the familiar Chetak shape. It carries the same neo-retro look with a horseshoe-style LED headlamp and metal body panels. The overall form remains clean and simple, which many riders already associate with the Chetak name. Buyers can choose from six colour options. The metal body also adds a sense of durability, which is something many scooter riders still value in daily use.</p><p><img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2026/01/New-Bajaj-Chetak-C25-1768393788994.webp" alt="New Bajaj Chetak C25.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;"></p><p>Features on the Chetak C25 focus on everyday convenience. The scooter comes with a colour LCD instrument cluster that supports Bluetooth connectivity. Riders can access call and SMS alerts, navigation support and music controls using a companion smartphone app. There is also a side-stand sensor that prevents the scooter from moving when parked, adding a layer of safety. Under the seat, the scooter offers 25 litres of storage, enough to fit a full-face helmet along with small items.</p><h2><strong>Bajaj Chetak C25: Powertrain</strong></h2><p>Powertrain details are tuned for city riding. The hub-mounted electric motor delivers 2.2kW of peak power and 18Nm of torque. Top speed is rated at 73km/h, which fits well within urban speed limits. The battery is placed in the floorboard, helping maintain balance across the 107kg kerb weight. </p><p>

      </div>
    <p><br></p><p>The Chetak C25 enters a busy budget electric scooter segment. It goes up against models like the TVS iQube Orbiter, <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-bikes/vida/vx2/">Vida VX2</a> and Ola S1X. With its pricing, claimed range and familiar Chetak identity, Bajaj is clearly aiming at first-time electric scooter buyers. </p>
