Bajaj Auto has finally launched the duo of new generation Pulsars as the Pulsar F250 and N250 were brought to the limelight a couple of days ago. They are based on the new tubular frame with high torsional strength and stress resistance according to the brand, but are they positioned in a different way between each other and how do buyers can set them apart? Here we help you distinguish them:
The Bajaj Pulsar N250 and F250 are evolutionary takes on the NS200 and 220F respectively in terms of design. The former is a naked streetfighter directly competing against Yamaha FZ25 and the more expensive Suzuki Gixxer 250 while the latter is a semi-faired motorcycle with no direct rival at its sights in the quarter-litre space.
The Pulsar F250 offers a better touring stance visually with its tall windscreen and semi-faired appeal while the N250 is more youthful with a sleek headlamp cluster, LED Daytime Running Lights and a single LED projector headlight. The F250 has a more organised design with reverse-boomerang shaped LED DRLs and sharp-looking body panels.
The Bajaj Pulsar N250 is priced at Rs. 1.38 lakh (ex-showroom) and the Pulsar F250 costs Rs. 1.40 lakh (ex-showroom). The price difference between them is just Rs. 2,000 and they carry almost identical equipment such as 300 mm front disc and 230 mm rear disc assisted by a single-channel ABS system, 37 mm telescopic front forks, new monoshock rear suspension, a new semi-digital instrument cluster, 14-litre fuel tank and so on.
The Bajaj Pulsar F250 gets a more relaxed clip-on handlebar setup while the Pulsar N250 has a flat and wide handlebar setup that could make a difference as the former aids in touring while the latter will help in better flickability through traffic conditions and perhaps better cornering characteristics as well.
Both use the same single-cylinder 249 cc SOHC oil-cooled 2V engine producing 24.5 PS and 21.5 Nm, paired with a five-speed transmission with a slipper clutch as standard. The Bajaj Pulsar N250 tips the weighing scale at 162 kilograms while its semi-faired sibling, the Pulsar F250, has a kerb weight of 164 kilograms – making it 2 kilograms heavier.
