Bajaj Pulsar VS400
Bajaj Auto is gearing up to launch the
all new VS400 in Indian market in a few days, and ahead of the launch a fully
naked model has been spied. The Bajaj VS400 is going to
be the most powerful Pulsar ever when it gets launched, and it focuses on the
touring enthusiasts.
The flagship Pulsar takes some design
cues from the smaller sibling 200 NS. The motorcycle comes pretty aggressive
and muscular looking with a 7 LED unit and a halogen lamp consisting headlamp,
muscular fuel tank. The instrument cluster is unique looking with fully digital
appearance. While the headlamp cowl sports the digital cluster on it, there is
a secondary digital meter too on the fuel tank. So far, the motorcycle looks
premium with its features.
The Bajaj Pulsar VS400 comes sleek at
the tail section, and it looks like the tail has ended abruptly. It sports LED
taillights, while the riding position of the VS400 is pretty convenient and
comfortable for the rider with the semi low hung stance. The VS400 also comes
with a stepped up saddle seat, and the flat handle bar gives the rider better
control while riding.
Power source for the Bajaj VS400 is a
373.2 cc single cylinder liquid cooled fuel injected engine shared with the KTM
Duke 390. The engine gets paired with a six speed transmission and churns out
35 PS of peak power at 8,000 rpm and 33 Nm of peak torque at 7,000 rpm, with a
fuel economy of 30 km/l. The Bajaj Pulsar VS400 is likely to get a top speed of
175 km/h.
On the suspension front the motorcycle
is equipped with telescopic fork at front and gas charged mono shock absorber
at rear. Disc brakes combined with dual channel ABS do the braking duty in both
the alloy wheels, which are wrapped with meaty performance oriented tubeless
tyres. The pricing for the VS400 is expected to be around Rs. 1.5 lakhs (ex
showroom), while the rivals against this model will be KTM Duke 390, Mahindra
Mojo, Royal Enfield Himalayan etc.
