In this Bajaj Pulsar NS 400 Z expert review, the motorcycle is best suited to riders looking for strong performance, modern electronics and aggressive styling at an accessible price point. It is not ideal for those prioritising long-distance comfort or premium build quality, but its standout strength is how it delivers high performance and features at exceptional value.
As Janak Sorap puts it, “The Pulsar NS 400 Z feels like the most serious performance Pulsar Bajaj has built so far.”
And that thought captures the essence of the bike perfectly. It’s a Pulsar that wants to go bigger, faster and more exciting than ever before.

Expert Context
To understand what the Pulsar NS 400 Z is really like beyond spec sheets and marketing claims, we spent time riding it across a proper mixed route. The evaluation was led by Janak Sorap, Assistant Editor at car&bike, who brings over ten years of riding experience and has tested more than 300,000 kilometers worth of motorcycles across segments. That experience helps us look beyond numbers and focus on how the motorcycle actually feels on the road.
For this review, we rode the bike through city traffic, open highways and mountain twisties. Our route began in Pune, climbed through the sweeping curves of Amboli Ghat, and continued onto the long highway stretches toward Goa. This combination of roads allowed us to evaluate acceleration, braking confidence, cornering stability and highway rideability in real-world conditions.
As Janak Sorap explains, “The NS 400 Z feels fast, engaging and surprisingly easy to ride for a motorcycle in this segment.”
The Bajaj Pulsar NS 400 Z represents a major step forward for the Pulsar lineup. For years, the Pulsar brand has been associated with sporty yet accessible motorcycles, and this latest model takes that philosophy into the 400 cc space. At its core sits a 373 cc performance engine, giving the motorcycle the kind of power that many younger riders have been waiting for. What becomes clear early on is that Bajaj has built the motorcycle to feel exciting without becoming intimidating.
What makes this motorcycle interesting is its positioning. Bajaj wanted to create a streetfighter that delivers big-bike performance without big-bike pricing. The result is a motorcycle that looks aggressive, feels quick in real-world riding, and still remains approachable for riders upgrading from smaller machines.
Key highlights include:
- Largest Pulsar ever built
- Ride-by-wire throttle
- Traction control
- Four ride modes
- Aggressive streetfighter styling

Variants
Bajaj has kept things refreshingly simple with the Pulsar NS 400 Z lineup. Instead of splitting the motorcycle into multiple trims, the company offers one core mechanical configuration across all versions. That means whether you look at the Bajaj Pulsar NS 400 Z base model or what some riders might consider the Bajaj Pulsar NS 400 Z top model, the engine, chassis and electronics package remain exactly the same.
The only differences mainly come down to colour options and minor updates, allowing riders to choose a look they prefer without changing the riding experience.
Standard Variant
The NS 400 Z is offered as a single, well-equipped variant that includes all key performance and technology features.
Important points:
- Ride-by-wire
- Traction Control
- Four rider modes
- Hardware that works at full speed
Every buyer gets the full set of features and performance without having to pay extra.
2025 Update (Improvements to the Facelift)
Bajaj has made small changes for better performance and to make it easier to ride.
Pros
- Strong performance engine
- Excellent value pricing
- Modern electronics package
- Aggressive streetfighter styling
Cons
- Basic display interface
- Firm suspension setup
- Limited touring comfort
- Build quality could improve
Verdict
The Bajaj Pulsar NS 400 Z stands out because it has a lot of modern features and great performance for a very low price. This motorcycle isn’t trying to compete with premium European machines on brand appeal or luxury features. Instead, it focuses on something far more practical — delivering serious performance at a price many riders can actually afford. The engine feels lively, the electronics package adds real usability, and the aggressive design keeps the Pulsar DNA intact.
As Janak Sorap says, “For the price, the NS 400 Z delivers performance that’s hard to ignore.”
And that’s exactly where the bike shines. If you’re looking for a motorcycle that feels fast, modern and exciting without stretching your budget too far, this one makes a strong case.
The NS 400 Z may just be the most exciting value-performance motorcycle in India today.

- My Experiance after one and half year5.0Standard(Petrol)After 3000 km on my NS400, sharing my experience: Pros: Appearance: The NS400 stands out with its unique Pulsar design, though reminiscent of the NS200. It offers a muscular and stylish look. Fuel Efficiency: Achieves 35-39 kmpl on highways, maintaining decent mileage with a balanced riding style. Performance: As the most affordable 400cc bike, its power is linear and handling precise, but feels more like a high-end 250cc. Features: Offers dual ABS, ride modes, traction control, connectivity, USD forks—a comprehensive package. Comfort: Upright seating with minimal wrist pressure; stiffer suspension suited for long rides. Service & Quality: Good support from Bajaj; notable improvement in build quality compared to previous models. Cons: Vibrations: Noticeable at 4-5k rpm. Display: Lacks refinement; pixelation issues in direct sunlight. Headlight: Poor adjustment causing glare issues for oncoming traffic.By Pragnesh JainPosted on: Nov 15, 2024 04:10 PM20
- Could be better in 400 CC section3.0Standard(Petrol)The aggressive, forward-leaning stance seen on the NS series may offer sporty handling but could prove less comfortable for long, bumper-to-bumper commutes. Price-wise, if positioned right, it could disrupt the market, but Bajaj would need to ensure build quality and service support match expectations, as riders here value reliability and hassle-free maintenance. Competing with established offerings like Royal Enfield and KTM would mean walking a tightrope between raw performance, comfort, and cost efficiency.By Gopal SethiPosted on: Nov 15, 2024 04:14 PM20
- It comes with a few compromises3.0Standard(Petrol)The Bajaj Pulsar NS400 offers great performance and looks. The engine is powerful and delivers excellent acceleration, making it ideal for highways. However, the fuel efficiency could be better, and the bike feels heavy in city traffic. The seating is decent, but longer rides may not be the most comfortable. Overall, it’s a solid choice for those looking for performance, but it comes with a few compromises.By Sagar ChanchalaniPosted on: Sep 28, 2024 02:00 PM10
- THIS IS A GAME CHANGER BIKE5.0Standard(Petrol)it is a game changer for performance bike who want an affordable, high-displacement bike. Building on the NS series' reputation, the NS400 would likely come with a powerful engine, perhaps a derivative of the Dominar’s 373cc motor, offering strong acceleration and highway performance.By Marvan JasenPosted on: Nov 15, 2024 04:20 PM10
