Design
A single LED projector headlamp with two lightning bolt-shaped LED DRLs on either side and a little fairing on top defines the front end. When seen from a profile angle, the Pulsar NS400Z has a powerful, chiselled fuel tank with large tank extensions that finish off the bike’s streetfighter appearance. There is a split seat available, and the motorcycle has the recognisable Pulsar LED taillights up top.
Specifications
Engine and Gearbox
When it comes to power, the Pulsar NS400Z is equipped with a 373-cc liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine that produces 35 Nm of peak torque at 6,500 rpm and 39.4 horsepower at 8,800 rpm. A 6-speed gearbox and a slip-and-assist clutch are included with the engine. Also, ride-by-wire technology is added to the motorcycle.
Features
It is possibly the most feature-rich Pulsar to date, sporting a new full-colour LCD screen and Bluetooth connectivity. The console has a large speed display, a smaller readout for the trip metre and odometre, a gear position indication, and a bar-type fuel gauge and tachometer. Turn-by-turn navigation is facilitated by a square-shaped dot-matrix display located at the far right of the console. The bike also has a lap timer and audio controls.
Brakes
It has a robust 43 mm USD fork in a champagne gold colour, a 320 mm disc, and a 17-inch alloy wheel with a design reminiscent of previous Pulsar NS bikes. The motorcycle also has clutch and brake levers that are adjustable in five steps.
