Bajaj Auto has officially introduced the updated version of its flagship streetfighter motorcycle, the Pulsar NS400Z, in the domestic market. Priced at Rs 1.90 lakh (ex-showroom), the refreshed machine brings high-tech instrumentation without altering its accessible pricing structure. Units of the updated bike had already begun arriving at authorized dealerships across the country, paving the way for immediate customer deliveries. The entire package focuses heavily on tech-centric convenience while retaining the existing mechanical foundations.
5-Inch Colour TFT Screen and Enhanced Connectivity
The headline upgrade on the new motorcycle is a modern 5-inch colour TFT instrument cluster that replaces the previous unit. Supporting both Bluetooth and Wi-Fi pairing, the display brings seamless integration with smartphones. A notable addition is Google Maps mirroring, which enables turn-by-turn route guidance on the screen even when the connected Android phone's display remains switched off. Riders also gain access to incoming call notifications, message alerts, and music playback controls, all managed via updated handlebar switchgear designed for intuitive navigation through menu screens.
Integrated Digital Document Wallet
Adding day-to-day practicality for urban commuters and tourers alike, the motorcycle now features an onboard digital document wallet. This application lets owners store digital copies of essential vehicle paperwork directly within the cluster system. Crucial records such as the registration certificate (RC), valid insurance policy, and driving licence can be safely accessed and displayed whenever required, eliminating the worry of carrying physical cards or paper documents on every ride.
Engine Performance and Ride Modes
Powering the streetfighter is the unchanged 349.13 cc liquid-cooled, single-cylinder engine paired with a six-speed transmission. The powerplant puts out 40.6 PS of peak power at 9,000 rpm alongside 33.2 Nm of maximum torque at 7,500 rpm. Throttle response remains precise courtesy of the ride-by-wire system, working alongside switchable traction control. Riders can tailor the motorcycle's behavior using four dedicated riding modes, specifically Road, Rain, Sport, and Off-Road.
Chassis Hardware, Brakes, and Dimensions
Underneath the bodywork, the cycle parts remain thoroughly capable, featuring 43 mm upside-down (USD) front forks and a rear monoshock setup. Stopping duties are handled by a 320 mm front disc and a 230 mm rear disc governed by dual-channel ABS, riding on radial tyres. Dimensionally, the bike measures a wheelbase of 1,346 mm, provides a ground clearance of 165 mm, and offers an accessible seat height of 805 mm.
