THE BAJAJ PULSAR N250 HAS received its first major update since its launch in October 2021. An upside-down (USD) fork is the most crucial upgrade in the chassis department and the motorcycle also gets wider tyres (140/70-17 rear and 110/70-17 front) and petal disc brakes. The outgoing N250 was a simple motorcycle but this model gets new electronics as well, namely, traction control and anti-lock braking system (ABS) modes. To check how all of that comes together to enrich the riding experience, we spent some time astride the new N.
It would have looked identical to the model it replaces had the graphics not been updated. Besides, it gets new colour options too. The red-and-white paint schemes get a golden USD fork while an all-black approach has been adopted for the black colour. The riding position remains unchanged and that is a good thing, because this N was among the most comfortable 250s in the market.
Similarly, the engine has been left untouched. This 249-cc, air-cooled (with oil-cooler), two-valve, single-cylinder unit continues to develop 24.5 hp at 8,750 revolutions per minute (rpm) and a peak torque of 21.5 Nm at 6,500 rpm. It would have been great if Bajaj had added a sixth gear, too, but the motorcycle continues with its five-speed transmission. No complaints, though.
