Bajaj Pulsar F250

Bajaj's latest motorcycle iteration, the Pulsar F250, comes packed with impressive technical specifications and design upgrades that aim to push boundaries in the Indian two-wheeler market. We delve into its offerings across design, technology, and safety in this detailed review.



Performance and Handling
At the heart of the Pulsar F250 is a single-cylinder, 4-stroke, 249.07 cc SOHC, 2 valve, oil-cooled, fuel-injected engine that dishes out a healthy 24.5 PS of power at 8750 RPM and 21.5 NM of torque at 6500 RPM. These figures translate into peppy acceleration and a generous mid-range, perfect for city commutes and occasional highway jaunts.

The engine is mated to a constant mesh 5-speed transmission that has a gear shift pattern of 1-N-2-3-4-5. The gearbox is slick, and the inclusion of an Assist & Slipper clutch makes for smoother shifts and better control during high-speed downshifts.

With a kerb weight of 164 kg, the Pulsar F250 is fairly manageable in urban environments, and its suspension setup, a 37 mm telescopic unit upfront and a monoshock with Nitrox at the rear, ensures comfortable rides over varying road conditions.

Design and Aesthetics
The Pulsar F250 is a handsome machine. Its sharp aesthetics, crystalline LED tail lamps, and the accentuated exhaust note add a touch of aggression and sportiness. The bike is available in three attractive shades: Racing Red, Techno Grey, and Caribbean Blue, catering to the aesthetic preferences of different riders.



Technology
The Pulsar F250 comes equipped with some notable tech enhancements. It boasts an LED Projector headlamp that promises superior visibility during night rides. The bike's new infinity display offers crisp, clear data, including a gear indicator, clock, fuel efficiency, and range indicator.

Additionally, the inclusion of a USB mobile charging port enhances the practicality quotient. A unique feature of this motorcycle is its smart fuel reading, which ensures accurate and real-time fuel status, aiding in better ride planning.

Safety
Safety is well catered to with a 300 mm Disc at the front and a 230 mm Disc at the rear, both working in tandem with a Single Channel ABS system. This setup ensures ultra-safe braking performance even under harsh conditions. Coupled with 100/80-17 front and 130/70-17 rear tubeless tyres providing a stronger grip, the bike is well-poised to handle abrupt stops and turns.



Price
At an ex-showroom Delhi price of Rs. 1,40,666, the Pulsar F250 offers an excellent package of performance, technology, and safety, making it a commendable choice in the quarter-litre segment.

Conclusion
The Bajaj Pulsar F250 presents itself as a potent package that beautifully combines performance and comfort with a sprinkle of technology. Its strong engine, distinctive design, and advanced features add to its appeal, making it a worthy contender in the competitive 250cc motorcycle segment. A practical and appealing choice for the daily commuter seeking a blend of power and comfort.
