Trending Questions on Bajaj Pulsar NS400Z - Answered by Autocar Experts

Asked by: Sohailon Dec 2, 2025
Hi, I am currently planning to buy a 400cc bike. I have shortlisted the NS400Z, Duke 390 and the Speed T4. I will be using the bike only occasionally, mostly for 100-150km rides. Please suggest which one I should go for.
All three bikes you've shortlisted are quite different to one another, so the bike you should choose entirely depends on your riding style and intended purpose.
The Triumph Speed T4 has the most relaxed and effortless riding experience with its torquey engine and upright, neutral ergonomics.
The KTM 390 Duke is its polar opposite, with its peaky single-cylinder engine dishing out the most power, and its chassis will be superb if you intend to do a lot of twisty road riding. Do bear in mind that its suspension is on the stiffer side, which will be felt when going over road imperfections.
Lastly, the Bajaj Pulsar NS400Z splits the difference between the two in terms of power, features and handling and is also the most affordable bike you've shortlisted.
We recommend taking a test ride of the bikes you've shortlisted before making a decision.

Hi Autocar team - I’m deciding between the 2025 Bajaj Dominar 400 and the Triumph Scrambler 400 X. I’m 6 ft tall and find the Dominar more comfortable for my height, but I’d like to know which bike is more reliable in the long run and easier to maintain. My budget is around ₹2.5 lakh, so value for money matters. Also, why hasn’t Autocar published a proper review of the 2025 Dominar 400 yet? I’d appreciate your advice.
Both the Bajaj Dominar 400 and Triumph Scrambler 400 X are reasonably reliable and hassle-free machines, and considering they are both made by Bajaj, they should be light on the wallet in terms of maintenance. We recommend choosing the one you are more comfortable with and the one that has a service centre close to you.
Coming to why we haven't reviewed the 2025 Dominar 400, that's because the bike is mechanically the same as when we reviewed it last in 2021, and the only tangible difference is the new LCD borrowed from the Pulsar NS400Z.

I currently own a Honda CBR 250R and want to buy a new bike. I’m experienced - I’ve done many 2,000 km rides. I will travel to office 3 days a week, do short rides on weekends, and plan 2–3 long tours every year. My height is 5′7″ and I’m considering buying a TVS RTX 300. Is it a good buy for me?
If you are comfortable with the size and heft of the TVS Apache RTX 300, then it is certainly worth considering because it will fit your needs quite well.
If you want something in the same price range that is lighter and more manageable, then bikes like the Bajaj Pulsar NS400Z and the KTM 250 Duke are worth considering.
Take exhaustive test rides of all the machines you shortlist before you decide.

Asked by: Abhishek Borateon Nov 12, 2025
I want to upgrade my bike. My budget is up to ₹3 lakh, and my daily commute is around 40km in the city, along with a little bit of highway riding. I also plan to go touring once every three to four months. Which bike would you recommend?
Keeping your requirements in mind, you can take a look at bikes like the Triumph Speed 400, Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450, TVS Apache RTR 310 and Bajaj Pulsar NS400Z.
All of them will offer a significant step up from your current bike but will still be friendly and won't overpower you. Take a test ride of all these (and any other machines you shortlist) before you go ahead with your purchase.

I want to replace my 2017 Dominar 400, but I can’t buy a new one since it’s over my budget. I enjoy riding at triple-digit speeds on highways. Please suggest a suitable replacement under ₹2 lakh (ex-showroom).
Considering your budget and familiarity with the Bajaj Dominar 400, you can look at the Bajaj Pulsar NS400Z. It recently received updates with more power and better cycle parts, and despite the GST 2.0 changes, its price hasn’t increased.
