Bajaj Auto has released the first teaser of the forthcoming Bajaj Pulsar NS400, which is set to go on sale on May 3, 2024. The teaser video shows the bike’s alloy wheels that appear similar to the newly-launched Pulsar N250. The model is likely to come with an underbelly exhaust instead of the unit fitted at the rear section. A similar setup is found in the Bajaj Pulsar NS160 and NS200. The NS400 will also get the single-sided mount rear tyre hugger with a fatter rear tyre.
Powering the new Bajaj Pulsar NS400 will be a 373.3cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine that also does duty in Dominar 400. The motor has been tuned for generating power worth 40PS and a maximum torque of 35Nm. Transmission duties will be done by a 6-speed gearbox with a slip and assist clutch. The Quickshifter could be exclusively offered on the top-end variant.
