Bajaj Pulsar NS400Z now comes under the 18 per cent GST slab and resultantly its on-road price has been reduced by a notable Rs 24,500 in India
Bajaj Auto has launched the Pulsar NS400Z with a revised 349 cc engine as we all expected as the Triumph and KTM branded motorcycles have been accustomed to a similar treatment in recent weeks. It enables the flagship Pulsar to sit under the 18 per cent GST slab and makes it more affordable for customers than before. It is priced significantly lower than it was first introduced in May 2024.
The updated model is priced at Rs 1,80,092 ex-showroom in Delhi with total on-road savings of up to Rs 24,500 compared to the previous version – factoring in the lower ex-showroom price, reduced insurance costs and lower registration charges. The engine displacement has been brought down from the earlier 373.2 cc configuration to 349 cc.
But Bajaj has been careful to retain the performance credentials that defined the naked streetfighter. The new unit continues to produce 40.6 PS – giving the motorcycle a power-to-weight ratio of 247 PS per tonne. The liquid-cooled motor keeps the NS400Z firmly in high-performance territory despite the strategic displacement reduction.
On the features front, the NS400Z remains unchanged and continues to be the most comprehensively equipped motorcycle in its segment. The package includes four ride modes, a quick shifter, traction control, dual-channel ABS, radial tyres and a Bluetooth-connected instrument console.
Just as with other downsized motorcycles, the Chakan-based manufacturer has made the naked offering accessible to a wider range of riders without diluting its performance or feature set courtesy of the new mill. The 2026 Bajaj Pulsar NS 400Z continues to have a length of 1,990 mm, width close to 846 mm and height of 1,057 mm along with a wheelbase of 1,346 mm. It boasts a ground clearance of 165 mm and a seat height of 805 mm.
Commenting on the new announcement, Sarang Kanade, President – Motorcycles Business Unit, Bajaj Auto Ltd. said, “By passing on the benefits of lower ownership costs, including the 18% GST advantage, we are delivering the same thrilling NS experience with a more compelling value proposition. This reinforces our commitment to making Pulsar more inclusive, relevant, and ‘Definitely Daring’ for today’s riders.”
