2024 Bajaj Pulsar N250 Teased Ahead Of Launch: Check Expected Price, Performance, Features And More
The highlight would be its digital instrument console and inverted fork
(Update: the 2024 Bajaj Pulsar N250 has been launched in India at aprice of Rs 1,50,829 (ex-showroom Delhi). Here are the details.)
Bajaj Auto is set to launch the 2024 Bajaj Pulsar N250 on April 10, 2024. The updated bike will feature revised underpinnings, a new digital instrument console, new colours and more as per the spy shots that we saw over the past couple of weeks when the bike was spotted testing. Here’s everything we know about the 2024 Pulsar N250 so far:
Design
In terms of design, the Pulsar N250 wouldn’t see any major changes except for the addition of new colour schemes. We know this because a N250 was spotted testing without the blacked out powertrain and exhaust, like we have seen on the outgoing model.
Bajaj had also dropped a new teaser which showed the bike clearly in a red finish, which seems like the same racing red colour that was once offered on the Pulsar F250 in the past.
Underpinnings
The biggest change that will be visible on the 2024 Pulsar N250 is the addition of an inverted fork, with a brush metal finish. We had spotted the bike being tested with the same a few weeks ago. This change will likely create some differences in the bike’s handling.
Features
When it comes to features, the N250 might get the same instrument console as the Pulsar NS200. The console is a fully digital unit that offers smartphone connectivity, featuring turn-by-turn navigation, Call/SMS alerts and more.
It has also been reported that the bike is likely to come with traction control as well, but we haven’t seen anything that could substantiate this claim so far.
Engine, Mileage and Performance
So far we haven’t received any indication that Bajaj has made any changes to the powertrain, so the N250 will likely come with the same engine as the outgoing model. Which is a 249.07cc air-/oil-cooled single-cylinder engine, producing 24.5PS and 21.5Nm.
Expected Price And Rivals
We expect the bike to come at a premium of Rs 9000, if the updates only include the addition of the inverted fork and digital instrument console bringing the price to Rs 1,58,978 (ex-showroom Delhi). If the bike indeed comes with a traction control system then the price could go up to Rs 1,64,978 (ex-showroom Delhi), which is a premium of Rs 15,000.
Coming to the rivals, the Puslar N250 goes up against other 250cc street fighters such as the KTM 250 Duke, Husqvarna Vitpilen 250 and the Suzuki Gixxer 250.
Bajaj Pulsar N250 User Reviews
I chose this bike for it's looks, easy spare parts availability and uniqueness on roads. This is one of the cheapest 250cc out there. It provides almost all the modern technologies like riding modes, Dual-channel ABS, Traction control, Bluetooth navigation, etc. I liked the seating posture and seat height it is very accessible to all types of riders. I like bikes having good low-end torque for effortless city riding and this machine has very good low to mid range torque so these are the reasons I chose this beautiful machine. The overall ride quality is very good. The suspension is not that stiff and you will definitely feel the adrenaline rush due to it's power. This is a very good city machine as well as capable on highways. On highways you can easily cruise at 80-100 km/h without much stress on the engine. I must say that the engine is very refined and smooth.The pickup is great and it has very good midrange performance. I am getting mileage of around 38 km/l which is decent for a 250cc. You can get mileage of 45 on highways if you cruise at a constant speed. The stability of this bike at speeds of 90-100 is decent but I am not sure about the high stability post 120 km/h. You feel the absence of a 6th gear on highways sometimes but the bike manages the gear ratios pretty well. Overall I'll say this bike has got a very punchy and refined engine. The braking is very good and the front brake response is very satisfying you will feel confident while riding this machine. The exhaust sound is very bassy and head-turning. People will definitely notice you. The pillion seat and rear suspension is a bit on stiffer side but it is good for cities. One thing I must mention is it's class-leading led projector headlights.The throw is very amazing and you will feel confidence on highways.No other bike in this segment provides such powerful headlights. So let's come to conclusion Will I recommend this bike I would say if you love bike having great low and mid range torque refined engine then you should definitely go for N250.But if you want a better highway machine having liquid looked technology and better high speed stability then you can look at NS200. Overall both the bikes have their own pros and cons and it all depends on what kind of rider you are and what you want. At last I would say you can buy N250 it will not disappoint. You will love riding it. I hope this review helps you find your perfect ride, Thanks...Read More
I chose this bike for eye catchy look, good mileage, good performance in reasonable price as well as an Indian brand so that parts availability is good plus most important thing it sounds very good and sporty. I face some issues regarding electronics but never about bikes performance i had done long trips in my bike no performance issues so far as well as on highway you can get good average comfortable ride. A person who wants powerful performance in city as well as highway and those who commute on daily basis it's is good for college students who's college is in city area plus a person who want good touring bike under 2 lakh and doesn't care about 120 above speed should definitely buy this bike.Read More

I took it on highways and it handled curves well. The brakes are strong and seat is soft. Even in traffic, it feels stable. I enjoy the look and the sound. Each ride makes me feel confident and happy. I would tell my friends to try it. It is good for young riders and those who like speed. The bike feels solid and safe. It looks cool and runs smooth. City or highway, it is easy to ride. I feel proud when I ride it and it is worth the money.Read More
I picked this bike because it gives solid mileage and feels sturdy. Needed something for daily rides that wouldn’t burn much fuel. The seat height and looks matched my comfort and taste perfectly. Engine feels refined and noise-free. Feels smooth on the road, even in traffic. Engine runs clean, gears shift well. I use it almost every day to go to college. It has not given me any trouble so far. Very reliable on both short and long routes. I’d say this bike suits anyone who rides daily. Great mileage, easy handling, and not much maintenance needed. It’s simple, affordable, and works without drama. Great for office rides and errands. Bought it for solid road presence.Read More
The Pulsar N250 is easily the best naked bike under 2 lakhs (pre-GST update). It delivers an amazing pull in the low and mid range, offers great city mileage of around 40 kmpl, and comes with fantastic brakes that stop exactly when you need them to. Its stylish and aggressive design genuinely makes you want to turn back and admire it every time. I also considered the NS200, which performs better on highways but returns lower mileage in the city. Since my primary use case is daily city riding with occasional long rides, the N250 was the perfect fit. The Pulsar N250 delivers impressive mileage with around 40 kmpl in the city and about 43 kmpl on the highway while cruising between 70 and 80 kmph. It has a strong pull in the low and mid range, a torque rich engine, and excellent brakes that give a lot of confidence. Both rider and pillion get comfortable seating and the sporty and aggressive design makes the bike stand out. The headlight throw is among the best in this segment and the suspension feels stable on highways which makes relaxed cruising very easy. Service and maintenance are also affordable. On the negative side there can be a rare wobble above 120 kmph and the handlebar may feel slightly short for some people. The rear mudguard is not very effective, the suspension feels a little stiff in the city, and the mirrors are average. The instrument cluster is also not bright enough under strong afternoon sunlight. Absolutely recommended. If you want a bike with strong pull and power, stylish and head turning looks, and something that does not put a strain on your wallet, this is the right choice. It gives good mileage, delivers a thrilling experience on highways, and can even give you goosebumps when taking curves.Read More
