Bajaj Pulsar N250 vs Mahindra Mojo XT300

Bajaj has been on a roll lately and is updating most of its lineup which includes the NS and the N range. The latest product from the Chakan-based manufacturer to have received a refresh is the Pulsar N250.

If you’re out in the market for a 250cc bike that doesn’t breach the Rs. 2 lakh (on-road) mark, should you consider the Pulsar N250? Let’s get you the answer.

We had a brief ride experience with the new quarter-litre Bajaj Pulsar motorcycles, the Pulsar F250 and the Pulsar N250, and here we bring you our first impressions about the two vehicles.

The Mahindra Mojo has mostly got positive reviews from the Media fraternity in India. So I am quite excited to have been handed over the keys to this Mahindra bike for three months. On first impression, it might not be pretty but it certainly stands out from the crowd. The dominating front fairing with its twin headlamp unit looks menacing. Above that are LED daytime running lamps which add to its bling factor. Although it is a single cylinder bike, the massive cowls beside the radiator makes the engine look bigger. The look-at-me design is completed by the impressive frame which is finished in gold, twin tail pipes, and the massive Pirelli Diablo Rosso II tyres.

While Mahindra & Mahindra’s legacy stretches to over half a century, its two-wheeler business is still quite young. The company just has a handful of models in its portfolio (only one of which is a motorcycle) and their sales performance is nothing to write home about. At such a time, the Mojo represents a giant leap for Mahindra.
