Bajaj Pulsar NS400Z road test, review

    The Pulsar NS400Z’s aggressive pricing allows it to compete with motorcycles that sit four segments below it.

    At low speeds the NS400Z’s steering feels heavy and not very quick on its feet but dial up the pace and it feels a lot more flickable and responsive, making it rather enjoyable on a twisty road. Though the Pulsar is certainly not as performance focussed as it’s Austrian cousin, it manages to strike a respectable balance between comfort and sharpness. At times I did find the NS a tad too soft around corners, but only when you ride aggressively and I’d suggest a more sporty motorcycle if that‘s what you’re after.

    The brakes don’t have the same level of bite and feel as the KTMs, but the performance is not bad and more than sufficient for the application. It is worth noting that the front organic brake pad helps in cost saving, but upgrading to sintered pads would provide an even more effective braking experience.
