The Indian motorcycle market has become a lot more enthusiastfriendly in the last few years, thanks to the introduction of a slew of 400cc motorcycles. Today, you don’t have to spend north of ₹5 lakh to get your hands on a machine that packs both speed and decent features. Now, Bajaj, renowned for its value-formoney offerings, has taken a bold step forward by updating the Pulsar N250 while maintaining a minimal price differential. Now, it’s true that the 250 Pulsar series has not been able to capture the market, at least the way Bajaj had hoped for, so the question is – can the 2024 Pulsar N250 do what others in the series could not?
STILL GOT THE CHARM
Since it’s a minor update, Bajaj has not altered the overall design of the Pulsar N250. However, the motorcycle does feature new graphics on the fuel tank and underneath the engine cowl. While opinions may vary on the boldness of the new graphics, no one can deny that this is an aesthetically appealing motorcycle.
One notable enchantment is the introduction of a new all-digital instrument cluster, which is very easy to read. The 2024 version also comes with Bluetooth connectivity, allowing riders to seamlessly pair their smartphones for accepting or rejecting calls and even providing turn-by-turn navigation – a welcome addition to the package, in line with the connectivity standards seen in most modern two-wheelers.
