Bajaj Auto has officially confirmed the launch of the new 400cc Pulsar for 3 May 2024. Likely to be named Pulsar NS400, the new model will sit on top of the Pulsar lineup which is currently occupied by the recentlyupdated N250. Ahead of its launch, Bajaj has started teasing the upcoming 400cc Pulsar with short clips on the company’s social media handles.Recently, spy shots of the final productionspec Pulsar NS400 were leaked from the factory floor which highlighted the bike’s design. The recent spy clicks and teasers tell us a lot about the upcoming 400cc Pulsar. Let us check them out.The leaked images revealed a very radical design for the Pulsar NS400, especially for its front fascia. The front end is dominated by a singlepod projector headlamp flanked by lightningshaped LED DRL on each side which gives the bike a mean look. The cluster itself is encased within an elaborate arrangement.The 400cc Pulsar enhances its sporty stance with a muscular fuel tank with extended shrouds. The rear feels familiar to the recent set of Pulsars with a floating tail section, split grab rails, split seats, a tyre hugger, and twin LED taillamps. The unit seen in the latest spy shot is wearing a red colour scheme. Other visual highlights include black alloy wheels and goldencoloured USD forks.A recent leaked image suggests that Bajaj will offer the NS400 in four dualtone colour schemes including— Glossy Ebony Black, Metallic Pearl White, Cocktail Wine Red and Pewter Grey.Since it’ll be the flagship Pulsar going forward,  we expect the new Pulsar NS400 to be packed with some of the most exotic equipment. These include a fullydigital instrument console with Bluetooth connectivity via Bajaj Ride Connect app, turnbyturn navigation, call and text alerts, and a USB charging port. Like the recently updated quarterlitre Pulsar, the Pulsar NS200 will benefit from electronic aids such as traction control and multiple ABS modes: Road, Rain, and Offroad. In terms of hardware, the spy images suggest it is based on the same perimeter frame suspended as Pulsar NS200 which is suspended on golden coloured 43mm upsidedown front forks and a rear monoshock. Braking duties will be carried out by disc brakes at both ends aided by dualchannel ABS. The bike rolls on 17inch front and rear alloy wheels which are shod with fat tyres.There is still some ambiguity regarding the engine on the Pulsar NS400. Most reports indicate that Bajaj will employ the 373cc singlecylinder, liquidcooled motor used in the Dominar 400 and the oldergen KTM 390 range. This motor is expected to get the same output as Dominar, i.e, 40 bhp and 35 Nm of peak torque. It will be paired with a 6speed gearbox with a slip and assist clutch.
