Entering the Indian market is the 2021 Bajaj Pulsar F250 sportsbike and the Pulsar NS250 naked sports, priced at 1.4 million and 1.38 million Indian rupees, respectively.
Power for the Pulsar 250 comes from a
single-cylinder, SOHC, two-valve, oil-cooled mill, fed by EFI. Bajaj claims a
power output of 24.5 PS at 8,750 rpm and 21.5 Nm of torque at 6,500 rpm, with
power getting to the ground via a five-speed gearbox and chain final drive. Braking
gets an upgrade from the Pulsar 200, with the Pulsar 250 using a single 300 mm
diameter front disc and a 230 mm diameter rear brake disc while single-channel
ABS is standard. Tyre sizing sees a similar jump with the 17-inch alloy front
wheel getting a 100/80 tyre while the rear wheel is shod with 130/70 rubber.
Suspension is done with a 37 mm diameter
telescopic front fork while the back end is held up with a preload-adjustable
monoshock with seat height set at 795 mm. LED lighting is used for the front
projector headlight while LED DRLs in a boomerang shape increase visibility on
the road.
Inside the cockpit a combination LCD
readout and analogue tachometer displays all the necessary information
including a gear indicator and remaining range. Other riding conveniences
include a USB charging port located near the fuel tank, which itself contains
14-litres of fuel.
