# Bajaj Pulsar N250SS launched at Rs 1.59 lakh 2026-10-21T15:22:53+00:00 | Business & Economy | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 3 independent outlets Bajaj Auto has launched the Pulsar N250SS in India at Rs 1.59 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi), as reported on 21 October 2026. The motorcycle is the most expensive trim in the N250 lineup and costs Rs 14,000 more than the standard N250. Key updates include a 249cc four-valve engine producing around 25 hp and 22 Nm of torque, a six-speed gearbox with a quickshifter, an electronic throttle with five ride modes, and a 5-inch TFT instrument cluster with Google Maps mirroring. The N250SS retains the N250's muscular design with black bodywork, red graphics, red alloy wheels, and gold-finished upside-down front forks. Standard features include dual-channel ABS, disc brakes, adjustable levers, a USB Type-C port, and a panic brake alert system. The new variant competes with models like the Hero Xtreme 250R and Suzuki Gixxer 250. ## Indian Opinion Analysis All three outlets report the same launch details: the Rs 1.59 lakh price, a six-speed gearbox, a quickshifter, a four-valve engine, and a TFT display with Google Maps mirroring.
