Bajaj Pulsar NS400 Looks Production Ready in This Latest Image, Launch on May 3

Just a few days ahead of its launch in India, a fresh image of the production-spec Bajaj Pulsar NS400 is out in the public domain. The design is unmistakably Pulsar, meaning that the new Pulsar NS400 is mostly evolutionary compared to the Pulsar NS200. There appears to be the same muscular fuel tank as the smaller NS200, albeit with larger tank extensions. Previous spy and teaser images have shown an LED projector headlight with thunderbolt-shaped daytime running lights (DRLs), as well as LED turn indicators, a gold-plated USD fork, an angular tail section, and an underbelly exhaust. As seen in this image, the motorcycle features a Black colour with red and grey stickers on the tank extensions, wheels, and headlight cowl. In all, the new NS400 looks a lot sportier and more muscular.

In terms of features, the Pulsar NS400 will likely offer full-LED lighting, dual-channel ABS, traction control, and a digital instrument cluster with Bluetooth connectivity, call/SMS notifications, and turn-by-turn navigation. A USB charging port is also on the cards.

Bajaj Pulsar NS400: Suspension, Brakes

Hardware-wise, the Pulsar NS400 will use the same perimeter frame as the NS200. The suspension setup will comprise an upside-down front fork and a preload-adjustable rear monoshock, while stopping power will likely come from a 320mm disc at the front and a 220mm disc at the rear, both mounted on 17-inch alloy wheels wrapped in MRF tyres. The rear tyre will be a fat 140-section unit. 

Bajaj Pulsar NS400: Engine, Output 

Given that the upcoming Pulsar NS400 will be the biggest-engined Bajaj Pulsar, it will draw power from a 373cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine that propels the Bajaj Dominar 400 and the KTM RC 390. Using this engine, the Dominar 400 makes 39.4bhp, whereas the KTM RC 390 generates 43bhp. We expect the Pulsar NS400 to produce between 40-43bhp. A 6-speed unit with a slip-and-assist clutch will handle transmission duties.
