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.
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. NDTV notes the Pulsar N250SS is positioned against the Hero Xtreme 250R, while News9 lists competitor prices, Suzuki Gixxer 250 at Rs 1.85 lakh and Hero Xtreme 250R Carbon at Rs 1.98 lakh, framing the Bajaj as a value proposition. Times Now reports that the additional Rs 14,000 brings the gearbox, shifter, TFT display, and ride modes. The coverage is uniform straight reporting across the three outlets, with no discernible slant.
