- Bajaj Pulsar NS400Z now features a 349cc engine, down from 373cc.

Bajaj Auto has introduced a new 349cc engine in its Pulsar NS400Z, mirroring a significant trend in the performance motorcycle segment. This strategic update aligns with tax benefits available for two-wheelers with engines under 350cc, making them more affordable.
The updated 349cc liquid-cooled, single-cylinder engine delivers 40 hp and 33.2 Nm of torque. This represents a slight decrease from the previous 373cc unit's output but is believed to be derived from the updated Bajaj Dominar 400 motor. The motorcycle retains its existing features and pricing.
This development follows similar moves by KTM and Triumph Motorcycles, who have also rolled out 350cc versions of their popular models in India. With Bajaj, KTM, and Triumph now focusing on this displacement, the 350cc segment is rapidly emerging as a key area for performance motorcycles in India.
