Bajaj Pulsar NS400: Engine Specs

The Dominar 400 and Pulsar NS400 will share the same engine. It is a 373cc liquid-cooled motor, based on the KTM 390 Duke from the previous generation. However, the manufacturer has modified it significantly. The Dominar 400's engine belts out 35Nm of peak torque and 40bhp of maximum power. On the transmission front, there is a six-speed gearbox with a slip and assist clutch. It is anticipated that Bajaj will tweak the engine to better fit the specifications of the Pulsar NS400.

Bajaj Pulsar NS400: Design

The NS400 is more of an evolution of the Pulsar NS range's design language with more contemporary elements. The most obvious design modification on the Pulsar NS400, which has a naked street design, is the new LED headlight unit with two lightning-shaped DRL strips running down the side of the headlamp. Comparably shaped to the NS200, the muscular fuel tank has more muscle and a beefier appearance thanks to the tank extensions. The pointed tail section, split grab handle design, and split-seat arrangement appear to be largely similar to the NS200 as well. Moreover, the model will likely sport an underbelly exhaust, as opposed to the standard rear-mounted unit. 

Bajaj Pulsar NS400: Hardware Components

The engine is located on a perimeter frame, and the bike is suspended by gold-finished upside-down front forks and a monoshock. Both the front and rear disc brakes will be in charge of braking duties. A dual-channel ABS will also be on offer. The model rides on 17-inch alloy wheels, and the tyre sizes are expected to be the same as the Dominar 400's. However, the NS400 has a standard box-section steel swingarm, presumably to keep costs down, even though it should come equipped with all the latest conveniences. 

Bajaj Pulsar NS400: Features

In terms of features, three ABS modes will be offered for the Pulsar NS400: On/Off, Rain, and Road. Furthermore, there will be a new digital instrument cluster exclusive to the Pulsar series. Bluetooth connectivity is expected to be included for turn-by-turn navigation. Traction control, which was recently added to the Pulsar NS200, will also be available on the Bajaj Pulsar NS400.
