Introduced first in November 2021, the Pulsar N250 now comes with a bunch of significant updates,&nbsp;including an upside-down fork, a new digital display, and wider tyres. The upgrades put the Pulsar N250 down for comparison with the KTM 250 Duke,&nbsp;TVS Apache RTR 200 4V, and&nbsp;Suzuki Gixxer 250. Here, we stack up the refreshed Pulsar N250 (Rs 1.51 lakh) against the third-generation 250 Duke (Rs 2.39 lakh), which KTM launched in September 2023.

<h2>Bajaj Pulsar N250 vs KTM Duke 250: Design</h2>

<p>Overall, the updated&nbsp;Pulsar N250's design remains almost untouched and continues to be striking with&nbsp;a circular&nbsp;LED projector headlamp flanked by two LED daytime running lights, as well as a sleek tail section with a split&nbsp;LED tail-lamp. However, the bike does get a couple of changes, including wider tyres (by 10mm), a gold finish on a 37mm upside-down fork, and new graphics on the fuel tank and the cowl. Bajaj's updated Pulsar N250 comes in three colours now – Black, Red, and White.&nbsp;</p>

<p>For the KTM 250 Duke as well, three colour options are available: Ceramic White, Electronic Orange, and dual-tone Black and Blue. But, this bike gets a&nbsp;split-type LED headlamp setup, a painted headlight surround,&nbsp;a muscular-looking fuel tank with sharper extensions,&nbsp;and the same&nbsp;alloy wheels as the 2024 KTM 390 Duke.&nbsp;There are&nbsp;some changes to its&nbsp;bodywork, similar to the 1290 Super Duke.</p>

<h2>Bajaj Pulsar N250 vs KTM Duke 250: Engine</h2>

<p>The same&nbsp;249.07cc,&nbsp;single-cylinder, oil-cooled engine rated for&nbsp;24.1bhp and 21.5Nm powers the 2024 <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-bikes/bajaj/">Bajaj</a> Pulsar N250. It comes mated to a&nbsp;five-speed gearbox assisted by&nbsp;an assist and slipper clutch. However, this mill is less powerful and torquey compared to a redesigned 249cc engine used by&nbsp;the KTM 250 Duke.&nbsp;Called the LC4c, this&nbsp;all-new single-cylinder unit makes 31bhp&nbsp;and 25Nm of peak torque.&nbsp;The transmission duties of this&nbsp;bike are taken care of by a 6-speed unit.&nbsp;</p>

<h2>Bajaj Pulsar N250 vs KTM Duke 250: Hardware</h2>

<p>For suspension, both bikes use&nbsp;an&nbsp;upside-down fork at the front and a monoshock at the rear. However, the N250 has a tubular steel frame, whereas the 250 Duke features a&nbsp;trellis steel frame. The braking setup of both bikes incorporates&nbsp;a disc brake at either end, mounted on&nbsp;a pair of 17-inch alloy wheels.&nbsp;</p>
