A 24hp engine fuels the two-wheeler
The Bajaj Pulsar 250 draws power from a 249.07cc, single-cylinder, air/oil-cooled mill that generates 24hp of maximum power at 8,750rpm and 21.5Nm of peak torque at 6,500rpm. Transmission duties are handled by a 5-speed gearbox.
Safety
Single-channel ABS ensures the rider's safety
For the safety of the rider, the Bajaj Pulsar 250 is equipped with disc brakes on both the front and rear wheels, along with single-channel ABS for better handling on the roads.
