Introduction
Pulsar Legacy
The Pulsar name has always meant something in India. For over two decades, it’s been associated with raw power, street-style looks, and unmatched value. Now, in 2025, Bajaj Auto has taken that formula to the next level with the all-new Bajaj Pulsar 250. It's not just another motorcycle launch it’s a significant moment for riders who want a balance of performance, looks, comfort, and fuel economy in one aggressive, urban-friendly package.
With a real-world mileage of around 45 kmpl, a sharp design that looks ready for the track, and a price tag that doesn’t break your savings, the new Pulsar 250 has arrived to shake up the 250cc segment. But what’s it like to live with? And is it really worth the hype?
This article dives deep into every angle performance, design, mileage, practicality, and pricing without any robotic fluff. This is a raw, honest, and realistic breakdown written the way a rider would talk to another rider. Let’s get started.

The Real Power: Performance That Feels Alive
What happens when you twist the throttle on the new Pulsar 250?
You feel it.
Underneath the aggressive styling sits a 249cc single-cylinder, oil-cooled engine. It's not about just numbers, but for those who want them: 24.5 PS of power and 21.5 Nm of torque. That’s strong, usable power especially if you’re the kind of rider who switches between office commutes and weekend fly-bys on the highway.
What makes it even better is the 5-speed gearbox with slipper clutch. You won’t be stuck fighting the gears in city traffic, and when you want to downshift hard into a corner, it’s smooth as butter. The engine is refined, and the response is instant. It doesn’t make noise for no reason it makes performance.
For many, this is the first bike that gives them a taste of “big-bike” feel without becoming too overwhelming. You’ll smile on your morning ride to work and you’ll grin wide on your Sunday blast down the expressway.

Mileage: Where Power Meets Practicality
This is where the Pulsar 250 genuinely pulls off a rare trick it’s powerful and still gives you mileage that makes sense.
On daily runs through city roads, with a mixed throttle hand, you’re looking at 40 to 45 kmpl. That's solid.
an an era where fuel prices touch uncomfortable levels, getting this kind of economy from a bike that doesn’t feel slow or sluggish is nothing short of impressive. Whether you're a college student looking to save fuel money or an office goer with long commutes, this balance is what makes the Pulsar 250 stand out.
You're not just riding fast you’re riding smart.

Design: Muscular. Sharp. Confident.
When you look at the new Bajaj Pulsar 250, there’s no doubt left it’s a machine built to turn heads.
Bajaj has nailed the design language here. It’s muscular without looking bulky, aggressive without being childish, and sporty without sacrificing comfort. Whether you pick the Naked Streetfighter (N250) or the Semi-Faired (F250) version, you’ll see how the body lines, tank shrouds, and panels are sculpted to look fast even when the bike is standing still.
The projector LED headlamp with DRLs gives it that modern street presence, while the sharp tail section and split seats give it a grown-up, premium feel.
You won’t be mistaken for riding a commuter. This one announces itself loudly in traffic.

Comfort for Real People, Not Just Reviews
Real roads, real people, real riding that’s where comfort matters.
Bajaj knows this. The Pulsar 250 comes with a well-balanced suspension setup, comfortable seating posture, and slightly rear-set foot pegs. You won’t feel like you’re leaning over too much, yet it keeps you engaged enough to have fun.
The split seats not only look good but offer genuine cushioning. Even your pillion will thank you after a long ride.
With better road grip, wider tires, and a composed chassis, the Pulsar 250 handles bumps and potholes with confidence. You feel planted even during quick turns. That’s rare in bikes at this price range.

Tech and Features: Everything You Really Need
Bajaj hasn’t loaded the bike with flashy tech just for the sake of it. What they’ve done is focus on what riders actually use.
Assist and slipper clutch: Less effort on the clutch, smoother shifts, safer riding.
USB charging port: Yes, it’s finally here. You can now charge your phone on the go without buying third-party attachments.
LED lights all around: Better visibility, longer life.
Digital instrument cluster: Clean, easy to read, and informative.
You won’t find gimmicks here just features that improve everyday riding.

Braking and Control: Ride With Confidence
With more power comes more responsibility and braking power. The Pulsar 250 is equipped with disc brakes at both ends, with dual-channel ABS that works just right.
You don’t feel jerky, and it doesn’t intervene too early. Even on
wet roads or sudden stops, the bike behaves with confidence.
Whether it’s office rush hour or an open highway, braking feels predictable and reassuring.

Variants That Fit Your Style
Bajaj understands that not all riders are the same.
That’s why the Pulsar 250 is offered in two styles:
Pulsar N250 – Naked Streetfighter look, with upright handlebars for daily city riding.
Pulsar F250 – Semi-faired version with more wind protection, perfect for occasional touring.
Both have the same engine, same performance. What changes is your riding posture, your visual preference, and the overall feel. And that’s the beauty you get to choose what suits you.

Price: Performance That Doesn’t Punish Your Wallet
At an ex-showroom price of ₹1.49 lakh, Bajaj has done something remarkable. They’ve brought 250cc class performance into the zone that most 150cc buyers can realistically stretch to.
Here’s what you’re getting at that price
A 250cc engine with smooth, usable power
Modern design with LED lighting
Dual-channel ABS, slipper clutch, and USB port
A machine that does daily duty and weekend fun
When you line it up against competition Yamaha FZ25, Suzuki Gixxer 250, or even the KTM 250 Duke the value proposition becomes crystal clear.

Who Should Buy This Bike?
Here’s the straight truth.
If you’re someone who:
Rides daily and wants more than just “a bike that runs”
Wants something powerful but doesn’t want to pay ₹2 lakh+
Cares about fuel efficiency but doesn’t want to ride something boring
Loves sporty looks but needs practical comfort
Then the Pulsar 250 is tailor-made for you.
It's not trying to be a track bike. It's trying to be your everyday thrill machine and it does that with a real human touch.
