Bajaj Auto has launched the updated Pulsar NS200 at Rs 1.60 lakh (ex-showroom), bringing valuable electronic and rider aids to improve safety and riding convenience, while retaining the motorcycle’s familiar design and performance-oriented 200cc engine. The updated model commands a premium of Rs 11,000 over the USD fork variant, which costs Rs 1.49 lakh (ex-showroom).
2026 Bajaj Pulsar NS200 – What’s New?
Similar to the recently launched Bajaj Pulsar NS250SS, the upgraded Pulsar NS200 receives a bi-directional quickshifter, allowing riders to shift gears without using the clutch. It also gets a ride-by-wire throttle system for more precise control and engine response. It also enables several riding aids, like riding modes and traction control.
In addition to the above-stated changes, the 2026 Pulsar NS200 also gets a new 5-inch TFT display with Google Maps mirroring function, a Type-C USB charging port, adjustable levers, panic brake alert, and a hazard switch.
Furthermore, to enhance the overall structural rigidity of the suspension system and better resistance to flex under heavy braking and aggressive riding, the bikemaker has introduced a thicker 37mm USD fork replacing the earlier 33mm unit. The bike also receives a radial rear tyre for better traction & more consistent performance at higher speeds.
At the heart of the NS200 is a 199.5cc single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine that now generates 25.5hp and 18.7Nm, 1hp more than before, paired with a 6-speed gearbox.
The updated NS200 is offered in three colours: Ebony Black Racing Red, Pearl Metallic White and a new Nardo Grey.
