The Bajaj Pulsar NS400Z has entered the performance streetfighter scene with a bang, and it’s already sending ripples through the segment dominated by bikes like the KTM Duke 390. With its aggressive styling, refined chassis, and a solid 40PS of power under the tank, the NS400Z isn’t just here to make noise—it’s here to claim territory.
The Most Powerful Pulsar Ever Made
For years, Bajaj enthusiasts have been waiting for a Pulsar that truly challenges the big players, and the NS400Z has finally arrived to answer that call. It’s not just another facelift or cosmetic upgrade—this bike is built from the ground up with performance at its core. At 373cc and 40PS of peak power, the NS400Z becomes the most powerful Pulsar ever made, and that’s a title it doesn’t wear lightly.
Bajaj has used the same tried-and-tested engine platform as the Dominar 400, but the tuning is more responsive, giving riders a street-focused performance boost. Whether you’re carving corners or gunning it on open roads, the throttle response and mid-range grunt make it a seriously fun machine to ride.
KTM Duke 390 Faces Unexpected Competition
For a long time, the KTM Duke 390 has been the go-to performance naked bike for Indian enthusiasts. But the Bajaj Pulsar NS400Z changes the equation. With similar output figures, a price tag that significantly undercuts the Duke, and Bajaj’s wide service network, the NS400Z becomes an immediate and logical threat to KTM’s reign.
What’s more, Bajaj has nailed the balance between sportiness and practicality. Unlike the Duke 390, which leans heavily into a raw, track-ready personality, the NS400Z offers a more everyday-friendly package. You get top-tier hardware, dual-channel ABS, ride modes, and a perimeter frame that keeps the bike solid at high speeds—all without burning a hole in your pocket.
Built for Real-World Thrills
The design of the NS400Z borrows some elements from the NS200 but amps up the aggression. Sharp tank extensions, sleek LED lighting, and a sporty stance make it clear this bike isn’t messing around. Yet, it’s not just about looks—the NS400Z backs it all up with performance that speaks louder than spec sheets.
Bajaj has clearly listened to the market, delivering a motorcycle that blends affordability with genuine performance and rider-focused features. As more riders take test rides, expect the buzz around the NS400Z to get even louder.
The Bajaj Pulsar NS400Z isn’t just a new launch—it’s a statement. And for the first time in years, the KTM Duke 390 has a real reason to look over its shoulder.
