Bajaj Auto has given its flagship streetfighter, the NS400Z, a much-needed update for 2025. The all-new motorcycle is priced at Rs 1.92 lakh, which is Rs 7,000 more than its predecessor. This price increase seems justified, as the model now delivers more power and comes equipped with upgraded features. We compare the new Bajaj Pulsar NS400Z with the Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 to see which offers better value on paper.
Bajaj Pulsar NS400Z vs Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450: Engine
Each bike offers distinct strengths suited to different riding styles. The 373cc liquid-cooled, single-cylinder engine on the revamped Pulsar produces 42.4bhp (up from 40bhp) and 35Nm. It also features a higher redline in Sport mode, revving to 10,700rpm.

On the other hand, the Guerrilla 450 comes with a larger 452cc single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine that makes slightly less power at 39.45bhp but offers a stronger 40Nm of torque. This higher torque output at lower revs makes the Guerrilla better suited for relaxed city-friendly riding.

Stopping power on the Pulsar machine comes from a 320mm front and 230mm rear disc setup, while the Guerrilla employs a slightly smaller 310mm front disc but a larger 270mm disc at the rear. The Guerrilla 450 features wider tyres—120/70-17 at the front and 160/70-17 at the rear, compared to its Bajaj rival, which sports 110/70-17 (front) and 150/70-17 (rear).
While both motorcycles come with dual-channel ABS as standard, the Guerrilla gains an advantage with the option to switch off the rear ABS.
