Recently Asked User Questions

Q. How is Bajaj Pulsar N250 and F250 in long rides?
  • I was on tour with my n250 to spiti and believe me this didn't even make me feel like tired or something on this long route
  • These Bajajs use an air-and-oil-cooled 2-valve, single-cylinder engine that uses 249cc of displacement for its wow quotient. Bajaj says they didn’t use triple-spark tech here as meeting BS6 norms reduces the lean air-fuel mixture combinations which the triple spark setup leveraged. There are no ride modes here either. But it is an all-new engine, sitting 10 degrees from vertical compared to 20 degrees on the P220F. It also has offset crank and bush bearings for the balancer shaft to improve efficiency and refinement. Impressively, the engine makes as much power as the NS200 - and its 21.5Nm of torque is the most we have seen on a Pulsar to date. On the road, the sound, the sensations and the performance are oh-so-220! The sound and feel of the engine have a touch of mechanical rawness. No, it isn’t rough! There’s just a bit of a pulse and roar that makes it feel very Pulsar. As promised the engine has a lot of grunts - which means you can leave it between 3000-4000 rpm for all your city duties. In 4th gear, it will pull from 25kmph easily. Yes, the Pulsar has only five gears but performance isn’t lacking, so if you are planning to do long distances even with a pillion you'll find it lets you relax on the highway as well. Along with the performance, it's the practicality of the Pulsar that has made it so appealing. Its 795m seat height lets 5’6” riders like me put both feet down flat, especially because it feels slim. Moreover, we would suggest you to take a test ride for a better understanding of performance and comfort.
