Bajaj Pulsar N250: Fresh Upgrades Add Sharper Looks and Dual-Channel ABS
Bajaj Auto has rolled out updates for its well-loved Pulsar N250 in India. With new features and safety tech, the bike aims to excite young riders who want both flair and punch in the 250cc class.
Perhaps the biggest news is the switch to dual-channel ABS. Fans had been asking for this for a while, and now the front and rear wheels stay more in sync, especially in sudden stops or on slick asphalt.
On the style front, the updated N250 sports fresh graphics and bold colour options. Riders can now choose Glossy Racing Red, Ebony Black with Blue accents, or Pearl Metallic White, each giving the machine a meaner, more premium look.
Another cool addition is the new USD (upside-down) front forks. These beefier legs steady the bike in hard turns and lend an upscale vibe to the headlight. Bajaj is clearly chasing better ride quality while keeping the design on-spot with the global streetfighter trend.
Under the seat, nothing has really changed. The Pulsar N250 still runs a 249.07 cc, oil-cooled, single-cylinder engine. It makes about 24.1 PS and 21.5 Nm of torque, working with a smooth 5-speed gearbox. That level of power is more than enough for zipping through city traffic and even comfortable highway stints.
On the dashboard, though, there is something fresh. A new digital console with Bluetooth now offers turn-by-turn navigation and alerts for incoming calls, a handy bonus for everyday riders. Bajaj also tweaked the switchgear, making everything feel a bit more natural under the fingers.
Because of those upgrades, the price has crept up a little. Most showrooms list the updated N250 around ₹1.51 lakh ex-showroom. Given the added safety gear, sharper looks, and new tech, many buyers in this segment will see the bump as fair.
With this bike in their garage, owners are also stepping into a tough shoot-out. The Pulsar N250 lines up against the Yamaha FZ25, Suzuki Gixxer 250, and TVS Apache RTR 200 4V. Yet with its mix of performance, style, and modern gadgets, the Bajaj bike now feels like one of the best all-rounders.
Early riders are saying nice things about the updated N250. Almost everyone mentions they feel more confident while braking, and that’s thanks to the new dual-channel ABS. Many also like the fresh paint choices and subtle design cuts that give the bike a sharper look.
Because of these changes, the N250 still sits at the top of the list for students and young workers who want a head-turning bike that also does everyday chores, like grocery runs or short highway trips.
By adding Bluetooth and better safety tech, Bajaj shows the Pulsar line is keeping pace with what today’s riders expect, a mix of fun and smart, connected features.
Given its price, style, and long list of gadgets, the Pulsar N250 is still a heavyweight in the quarter-litre class and a solid choice for anyone wanting value with extra flair.
