Should I buy the Pulsar NS400Z?
Bajaj Pulsar NS400Z is a street naked sports bike that is meant for fun riding and powerful performance. Its 373cc engine makes it worth every penny spent. However, its commanding riding position and firm seat makes it less enjoyable on long trips. We suggest it to the consumers looking for a powerful motorcycle but are running on a strict budget constraint. The overall value of the Bajaj Pulsar NS400Z is superb and beats the rivals by a huge mark.
- Pulsar NS400Z has an identical design to the other N series Pulsar bikes. The front headlight is unique and offers a good throw because of the projector setup. However, the rear design feels like a smaller NS bike. Overall, its design is slightly better than the smaller Pulsar N250. It doesn’t offer a very unique appeal.
- Riding comfort of the NS400Z is also decent. The front-set handlebar and center-set footpegs create a commanding riding position. This position feels good for short distances. But, it gets uncomfortable for long tours.
- The split seat looks good but the cushioning on it is on the lesser side. It is best-suited for local rides or short distance rides.
- It is powered by a 373cc liquid-cooled engine. The performance it offers is thrilling, as per the segment's standards. This is the same engine as used on the Dominar 400. However, the crisp tuning of throttle and strong mid-range helps in a quick pace riding.
- The vibrations are also very well controlled. In fact, even near redline, there is only a slight buzz that seeps onto the handlebar and footpegs. Overall, it remains very calm throughout the rev band.
- The engine of the Pulsar NS400Z can easily get 30-35 kmpl in the city. But, only if ridden sanely.
Pulsar NS400Z engine specifications:
| Transmission | Manual |
| Mileage | 28.5 |
| Engine | 373.27 cc |
- The calm and poised ride quality of the Pulsar NS400Z is all thanks to the USD front forks. They have a preload adjustable monoshock at the rear. It remains very stable around the corners and also at three-digit speeds.
- The perimeter frame of the NS400Z has been tuned for a quick performance and agile handling. The bike feels very easy to handle within the city and filtering lanes is a piece of cake. Also, around tight corners, the feedback from the bike is very positive for the rider.
- If you’re a feature lover, the LCD console of the NS400Z might not attract you. But, it does the job. It has a MID, Bluetooth connectivity, turn-by-turn navigation, and more. Also, the bright LED lights all-around make it look distinctive on the road. While we wish that this list could’ve been better, the pricing justifies everything on offer.
- Bajaj has equipped the NS400Z with dual-channel ABS as standard. This is to keep the rider and pillion safe. It also gets 4 riding modes: Road, Rain, Sport, and Off-Road. Also, the traction control and switchable ABS help during the tricky parts of the ride.
