We recently rode the updated Bajaj Pulsar N250 and here’s what we liked and disliked about the bike:

37mm inverted fork, chunkier tyres and new colour schemes with snazzy graphics = much better road presence

Same 249cc single-cylinder motor — Very refined, strong mid-range performance, great tractability — Light clutch action, slick gearshifts

Plush ride quality — New fatter tyres = better stability while cornering, can carry more lean angle

Comfortable, yet slightly leaned forward riding position & comfortable ride quality — For a naked, a flat & wide handlebar would’ve been preferable

3 ABS modes: Road, Rain and Off-Road — Clear difference between the three modes — ABS unit well calibrated

Traction control works really well on tarmac — Not intrusive when going through bad patches of road

All-new LCD instrument console — Bluetooth connectivity with turn-by-turn navigation — Good visibility under harsh sunlight

How have the various updates improved the 250cc streetfighter?
