New Bajaj Pulsar teaser reveals single-cylinder exhaust note
Bajaj Auto has set the automotive community abuzz with a teaser video posted on its social media platforms, hinting at an upcoming Pulsar model. The teaser primarily features an exhaust note, which strongly suggests the presence of a single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine. While the exact details remain under wraps, speculation is rife that Bajaj may be preparing to unveil a completely new Pulsar variant.
A Closer Look at the Teaser
The distinctive sound of the engine in the teaser has led enthusiasts to believe that Bajaj might introduce an RS trim to its Pulsar lineup. Currently, the RS200 is the sole model under the RS prefix in the Pulsar portfolio. Given the recent launch of the NS400Z in May 2024, industry insiders suggest that an RS400 could be a logical addition to the brand’s offerings.
Potential Features of the RS400
If the RS400 becomes a reality, it is expected to leverage the same platform as the NS400Z. This could mean a 373cc, liquid-cooled, single-cylinder engine, producing 39.4 BHP at 8800 RPM and 35 Nm of torque at 6500 RPM. The engine would likely be paired with a six-speed gearbox.
In terms of features, the RS400 might include advanced equipment such as:
- LED lighting
- Switchable traction control
- Four riding modes: Road, Rain, Sport and Off-road
Anticipated Hardware Setup
The RS400 is expected to sport premium hardware, including USD (upside-down) front forks and a gas-charged, preload-adjustable monoshock at the rear. The braking system may comprise disc brakes at both ends, mounted on 17-inch alloy wheels, along with the safety of dual-channel ABS.
Awaiting Official Confirmation
While the speculation surrounding the RS400 continues, Bajaj Auto has not provided any concrete details about the teased model. With the teasers already making waves on social media, it seems likely that the official announcement is just weeks away.
Whether it is an RS400 or another exciting addition to the Pulsar lineup, enthusiasts and prospective buyers eagerly await further updates from Bajaj Auto. Stay tuned for more information as it unfolds.
