-2024 F250 doesn’t get USD fork like the N250
-Powered by a 249cc, oil-cooled engine
The 2024 Bajaj Pulsar F250 has been launched in India at Rs 1.51 lakh, ex-showroom, Delhi. The bike was showcased at the global launch of the Pulsar NS400Z and the prices have just been revealed. Bajaj has kept the launch of the Pulsar F250 quite hush, hush. Nevertheless, the bikes have begun arriving in showrooms.
In terms of design, the 2024 Pulsar F250 is identical to the 2023, save for the new black colour and the red and white graphics across the bike. It looks striking and adds some differentiation between the new and the outgoing model.
The semi fairing is one of the main visual differences between the Pulsar F250 and the 2024 Pulsar N250. The other difference is that the naked bike gets a USD fork while the F250 continues to have a conventional telescopic fork. That is quite a strange move by Bajaj, perhaps to keep costs in check.
In terms of features, the Pulsar F250 like the rest of the bikes in the Bajaj Pulsar range, has a new digital instrument cluster that features Bluetooth connectivity and turn-by-turn navigation. Also, it gets three ABS modes- Rain, Road and Sport, like the 2024 Pulsar N250.
Powering the F250 is a 249.07cc, oil-cooled, single-cylinder engine that makes 24bhp at 8750rpm and 21.5Nm at 6,500rpm. The engine is paired with a five-speed gearbox. The F250 has the same frame and wheels as the N250 and it also gets the same 140-section rear tyre.
By pricing the F250 at par with the Pulsar N250, Bajaj will be hoping that the former garners a lot more sales than the previous bike that was discontinued due to low demand.
