Dimensions
| Bajaj Pulsar N250 | Suzuki Gixxer 250 | |
| Seat Height | 800 mm | 800 mm |
| Wheelbase | 1342 mm | 1340 mm |
| Ground Clearance | 165 mm | 165 mm |
| Kerb Weight | 164 kg | 161 kg |
Dimensionally, as clear from the table above, you get almost similar-sized bikes going head-to-head. While they mimic each other in seat height and ground clearance, the wheelbase and curb weight are what make up for the difference. Talking about the wheelbase, since we are taking in numbers, for the sake of it, the Pulsar N250 comes with a 2mm longer wheelbase. On top of this, the Pulsar comes out heavier by 4kgs than the Suzuki Gixxer 250.
Engine
| Bajaj Pulsar N250 | Suzuki Gixxer SF 250 | |
| Engine | 249 | 249 cc |
| Power | 24.5 hp @ 8750 rpm | 26.5 hp@ 9300 rpm |
| Torque | 21.5 Nm @ 6500 rpm | 22.2Nm @ 7300 rpm |
| Gearbox | 5-speed | 6-speed |
Looks like you have a clear winner here. While both bikes have a 249cc engine for the task, the Gixxer 250 churns out 2hp power and 0.7 Nm torque higher than the Pulsar N250. Where Pulsar comes with a 5-speed gearbox, Gixxer comes mated to a 6-speed gearbox. Don't take it the wrong way, the Pulsar's 24.5hp and 21.5 Nm torque is a peppy performer, but the Gixxer takes the lead on this one.
Features
Jumping onto the similarities, both get a fully digital instrument cluster that displays various ride-related info such as speed, distance traveled, fuel, and more. On top of this, Bluetooth connectivity is present on both bikes for alerts like calls and SMS notifications.
However, the Pulsar offers a few neat features over the Gixxer 250. It gets the ability to accept or reject calls, traction control, ABS modes, slipper clutch, and distance to empty readout. The tussle of tech is clearly in the favour of Pulsar this time.

Price
The Pulsar N250 has been priced at Rs. 1.51 lakhs whereas the Suzuki Gixxer 250 price starts at Rs. 1.35 lakhs. However, the Gixxer 250's Ride Connect edition is priced at Rs. 1.41 lakhs ex-showroom. While this makes the Suzuki rival more affordable, do you remember the features section where it missed out on some tricks when compared to the Pulsar?
Verdict
That's the comparison between the two rivals from Bajaj and Suzuki where in fact, there is no clear winner. While the Suzuki bike came out more potent, the Pulsar took lead in the features section. Gixxer on one hand is more affordable, but comes at the cost of missing features when compared to the Pulsar N250. We have compiled the detailed comparison and its for you to decide what matters the most. Carefully analyse and then you are all set to pick your choice.
