First however, let’s have a good, close look at the newly launched 2024 Bajaj Pulsar N250, which finally features new graphics and adjustable ABS modes. For a long time Pulsar fan that I am, I was waiting for this launch, and Bajaj did justice to this one,I must say. Just what I hoped for while they’ve added a few cool features, they’ve kept the essence of the bike.
What’s New: Graphics & ABS Modes
First things first, let’s talk about the new graphics. Now, I know some of you might think, “Who cares about graphics?” But, let’s be real—looking sharp doesn’t hurt, right? The updated color schemes make the Pulsar N250 look bolder and more aggressive. It’s got that same Pulsar DNA but with a modern twist, which I’m absolutely loving. If you’re someone who likes turning heads on the street, this new design will do just that.
Now, onto the ABS modes, which are a real game changer for me. Adjustable ABS isn’t just a fancy feature—it’s practical. Whether I’m weaving through city traffic or cruising down the highway, I can switch between modes depending on the road conditions. I gave it a shot and, trust me, you can actually feel the difference when you have to hit the brakes hard. This isn’t just some gimmick—it’s the kind of feature you’ll appreciate when the roads get tricky, especially during the monsoons.
Engine Performance: Still a Beast
Now, let’s address the engine. The 250cc single-cylinder engine hasn’t changed much, and honestly, I’m happy about that. Why fix something that isn’t broken, right? The engine is as smooth as ever, and it’s got just enough torque to give you that extra boost when you need it. I had a chance to take it on a quick highway run, and I wasn’t disappointed. In lower gears, it’s lively and perfect for city sprints, but it holds its own on the open road too.
One thing I will say, though, is that if you’re a speed junkie looking for some serious top-end grunt, you might find it lacking a bit. Don’t get me wrong—it’s got enough power for daily commutes and weekend rides, but if you’re craving high-speed thrills, it’s not quite there. For the average rider like me, though, it’s perfectly balanced.
Comfort & Ride: A Daily Rider’s Dream
Let’s talk comfort—because if you’re like me and ride daily, this matters. The Pulsar N250 nails it here. The riding posture is a great balance between not too aggressive and not too relaxed. It’s comfortable enough for long weekend rides without leaving me feeling sore, and that’s a big deal.
The suspension is a little on the firm side, which I actually appreciate. It keeps the bike steady during sharper turns and helps it stay planted on the road. But, and here’s the catch, on really bumpy roads, it can feel a bit stiff. It’s not a deal breaker, but it’s something to keep in mind if your daily route involves rough terrain.

Final Thoughts: Is the Pulsar N250 for You?
Is the Pulsar N250 the bike for you? So if you’re the person looking for a stylish, practical drive and you’ve got something of that edginess about you go for it. Riding in mixed conditions, the new ABS modes are especially useful to us, and the refresh graphics are just that much nicer. It won’t set anyone’s hair on fire on a racetrack, but it’s going to make for a decent daily driver, weekend getaway machine, and then when we’re feeling particularly frisky, we can let the hair down.
What do you think? Is the new Pulsar N250 your speed or do you like something with a bit more boom? I’d love to hear what you think!
