Mumbai, Oct 28 (PTI):
Bajaj Auto on Thursday launched the all-new Pulsar 250 in two variants R250 and N250, priced at Rs 1.40 lakh and Rs1.38 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi), respectively.
The Pune-based automaker had introduced its sportbike Pulsar in the Indian market in October 2001.
This quarter-litre offering, which comes with the 250 cc BS6 DTS-i oil-cooled engine, elevates the Pulsar portfolio that has spawned motorcycles from 125-220cc since its launch, the company said.
Rakesh Sharma – Executive Director, Bajaj Auto said, Precisely two decades ago, Bajaj Auto had launched the first Pulsar and changed motorcycling in India forever. Since then, there has been a succession of Pulsars, which have set new benchmarks in India and globally making Pulsar one of the most loved motorcycling brands across 50 countries”. “Today, Pulsar yet again ups the benchmark with the launch of two new Pulsar 250s. We are confident that these two superbly crafted machines will exhilarate the Pulsarmaniacs and attract more riders to the Pulsar brand and the quarter-litre class of biking,” he added. Pulsar gets a rear monoshock. Needless to say, the frame and swingarm are different units to incorporate this feature. This complete change in the underpinnings is expected to improve the dynamics of the Pulsar and has been a long time coming. The suspension at the front, meanwhile, is a conventional telescopic fork. The bikes come equipped with a 300mm disc up front and 230mm disc at the rear with single-channel ABS. The new Pulsars have a fuel tank capacity of 14 litres and weigh 162kg for the N250 and 164kg for the F250.
The Pulsar N250 and F250 use an LED headlight and LED Daytime Running Lamps. Both versions of the motorcycle also get split seats and digi-analgoue instrumentation. The foldable mirrors on the F250 are mounted on the sharp-looking semi-fairing, similar to what we’ve seen on the 220F. Behind the fairing are raised clip-on handlebars.
Pulsar N250, meanwhile, has an aggressive front-end with a prominent LED headlight. The rear-end on both bikes are fairly sharp with twin LED tail-lights seen on most other models in the Pulsar family.
However, the alloy wheel design is exactly the same as the NS/RS models.
