Bajaj Auto has updated its product portfolio in the Indian market with the launch of the new Pulsar 250 range. The quarter-litre Pulsar series comprises two variants – the N250 naked roadster and the F250 semi-faired motorcycle. Here we list the top five highlights of the semi-faired variant of the Pulsar 250 series.
Styling
In terms of design, Bajaj Auto has completely overhauled its biggest displacement Pulsar motorcycle. The new Pulsar F250 uses a semi-fairing design along with a tall windscreen, a muscular 14-litre fuel tank, a step-up seat, and a new design for the split-style taillight, and a side-slung twin-barrel exhaust. The Pulsar F250 also uses a dual-tone engine cowl that enhances the sporty styling of the motorcycle. The rear panel resembles the unit of the Dominar series while the split-style alloy wheels are similar to the ones seen on the Pulsar NS range. The colour choices are limited for now, and the Pulsar F250 is currently available in two colour options. Buyers can currently opt for Racing Red and Techno Grey colours.
Features
The new Bajaj Pulsar F250 packs features such as full-LED lighting as standard. The front features a bi-functional LED projector headlamp with an LED position lamp. At the back, the new Pulsar uses a split-style LED taillight that features a new design. The instrument cluster is a semi-digital unit. Apart from the ride-related information, the console also displays data about the gear position, fuel economy, and range available. The safety net on the motorcycle comprises a single-channel ABS.
Engine
This is the highest displacement Pulsar motorcycle from Bajaj Auto. The 249.07cc, single-cylinder, oil-cooled engine with fuel injection technology makes 24.1bhp of maximum power at 8,750rpm and 21.5Nm of peak torque at 6,500rpm. The five-speed gearbox benefits from an assist and slipper clutch function.
Hardware
The new Pulsar F250 is built around a tubular chassis. The suspension setup on the motorcycle comprises 37mm telescopic front forks and a rear mono-shock with Nitrox. The braking tasks are handled by a 300mm disc at the front and a 230mm rotor at the back while the safety net, as mentioned above, includes a single-channel ABS. The 17-inch alloy wheels are wrapped in 100/80-section and 130/70-section tyres at the front and the back, respectively. The motorcycle tips the weighing scale at 164kg (kerb).
Price
The new Bajaj Pulsar F250 is available in a single variant and it has been priced at Rs 1.40 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi). The semi-faired motorcycle will rival the likes of the Suzuki Gixxer SF250 in the Indian market.
