Bajaj Pulsar 250F Spied Again, Clearest Images Yet!

The upcoming all-new motorcycle will be the spiritual successor to the iconic Bajaj Pulsar 220F

• The Bajaj Pulsar 250F will be the first motorcycle under the brand’s all-new platform. 
• It’s built on an all-new chassis and is powered by a new quarter-litre air-cooled engine with an oil cooler.
• Expect it to cost more or less the same as the current-gen Pulsar 220F. 

The Bajaj Pulsar 250F has been spotted testing again, and the spy shots are one of the clearest so far. The Pulsar 250F will be the brand’s first motorcycle from the all-new platform, and the images of the test mule suggest an almost production-ready motorcycle. Expect the Pune-based bikemaker to launch the motorcycle latest by September. 

The Bajaj Pulsar 250F will replace the ageing Bajaj Pulsar 220F. And like the 220F, the new-gen motorcycle also gets a half fairing, albeit in a more aggressive shape. The lighting system is likely to be all LED and the instrument cluster could feature smartphone connectivity as it is the norm in most modern motorcycles. It is evident from the picture that the ergonomics are suited for touring, thanks to the raised clip-on handlebars and the upright yet slightly forward-leaned riding position. The pillion seat also looks fairly roomy.

The DTS-i engine had reached its threshold with the 220F, so Bajaj has gone for an all-new 250cc single-cylinder air-cooled engine with oil cooler and fuel injection. And along with the engine, Bajaj has also made sure the foundations are brand new. This will be the first standard Pulsar to get a rear monoshock, and expect the platform to spawn several smaller Pulsars with the same chassis and different variations of the new engine. There’s a conventional telescopic fork up front and the disc brakes appear to be borrowed from the Bajaj Pulsar NS200/RS200 range. 

Currently, the Bajaj Pulsar 220F costs Rs 1,32,378 whereas the Bajaj Pulsar NS200 retails at Rs 1,39,546. Bajaj might try to keep the price of the upcoming Pulsar 250F on par with the 220F, so expect it to be priced around Rs 1.32- 1.34 lakh. And by the time the motorcycle is launched, there’s a good chance of Bajaj increasing the price of the Pulsar NS200 even more to maintain a distinction between the two different products. The Bajaj Pulsar 250F will rival the Yamaha FZ25 and Suzuki Gixxer SF 250.
