Bajaj Pulsar N250 and F250 receive a price-hike in India
What's the story
Bajaj Auto has raised the prices of the Pulsar N250 and Pulsar F250 in India. Following the price-revision, the Pulsar 250 twins have become costlier by Rs. 1,117 and Rs. 915, respectively. The N250 is now priced at Rs. 1,39,117, while the F250 costs Rs. 1,40,915. The bikes had debuted last year and share the same specifications as well as features.
Context
Why does this story matter?
The rising input costs have made price-hikes a common phenomenon in the Indian automotive industry. And, Bajaj is the latest to do so. The Pulsar 250 twins had entered the market as replacements for the aging Pulsar 220F. The bikes are popular models in the country and since the price-hike is not too steep, their sales are unlikely to be affected.
Design
The Pulsar F250 has a semi-faired design
The Bajaj Pulsar 250 twins sit on a tubular steel frame and sport a muscular fuel tank, a split-style seat with a two-piece grab rail, an upswept dual-barrel exhaust, and angular mirrors. The N250 is a roadster-like naked motorcycle, while the F250 has a semi-faired design. They also have a frame-less semi-digital instrument cluster, an all-LED lighting arrangement, and alloy wheels.
Information
They are fueled by a 24.5hp engine
The Bajaj Pulsar 250 twins draw power from a 249.07cc, single-cylinder, air/oil-cooled engine that generates 24.5hp of maximum power and 21.5Nm of peak torque. Transmission duties are taken care of by a 5-speed gearbox.
Safety
They have single-channel ABS for better handling
To ensure rider's safety, the Bajaj Pulsar N250 and F250 are equipped with disc breaks on both front and rear wheels, along with single-channel ABS for improved handling on the roads. Suspension duties on the motorcycles are handled by telescopic forks on the front side and an adjustable mono-shock unit on the rear side.
