The Bajaj Pulsar NS400Z is getting an important technology upgrade, and the biggest change is now clearly visible on the motorcycle. An updated NS400Z has been spotted at a dealership with a new 5-inch colour TFT instrument cluster, bringing the flagship Pulsar closer to Bajaj’s latest connected-bike technology. The update also comes with revised switchgear designed to operate the new display.
The motorcycle’s core performance package remains familiar. It continues with the 349.13cc liquid-cooled engine producing 40.6 PS and 33.2 Nm, while the six-speed gearbox and performance-focused hardware remain part of the package. The new update is therefore primarily about technology, connectivity and the riding experience rather than a major mechanical transformation.
New 5-Inch TFT Display Is the Biggest Update
The most noticeable change on the updated Pulsar NS400Z is the 5-inch colour TFT display. The new console brings a much more modern interface than the previous instrument setup and adds a range of connected functions. The TFT system offers features such as navigation, calls, music, lap timing and access to digital documents, giving the motorcycle a more premium cockpit experience.
The display also supports Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity, allowing compatible smartphone functions to be integrated with the motorcycle. Google Maps navigation can be mirrored onto the display, while connected functions can provide call and message alerts, music controls and other notifications. The system can also provide digital access to documents such as a driving licence, insurance and registration certificate.

40.6PS Engine Remains the Performance Highlight
The biggest question for many enthusiasts will be whether the new TFT-equipped NS400Z gets a more powerful engine. Current information points towards no major mechanical change. The motorcycle continues with Bajaj’s 349.13cc liquid-cooled, four-valve single-cylinder engine, which produces 40.6 PS at 9,000 rpm and 33.2 Nm at 7,500 rpm.
Bajaj introduced this 349cc engine configuration earlier in 2026, retaining strong performance while making the motorcycle eligible for the lower GST slab. The company designed the new engine to retain its 40.6 PS output, allowing the NS400Z to maintain its performance-focused character despite the reduction in displacement.
The engine continues to work with a six-speed gearbox and quickshifter, while the current motorcycle also gets four riding modes and traction control. So, unlike a conventional facelift that focuses on styling or engine output, this update is primarily about making the NS400Z smarter and more connected.
For riders expecting a significant increase in horsepower, there is currently no indication of such a change. The attraction of the updated model is instead the combination of the existing 40.6 PS performance with a considerably more modern cockpit.
Design and Hardware Stay Focused on Performance
The new TFT does not appear to bring a major redesign to the motorcycle itself. The NS400Z continues with its aggressive naked-sport styling, muscular fuel tank, sharp bodywork and compact rear section. The overall design remains unmistakably part of the Pulsar NS family.
The motorcycle also continues with performance-oriented chassis hardware. It gets an USD front fork and a six-step adjustable rear monoshock with Nitrox, while braking is handled by disc brakes with dual-channel ABS. The bike also gets four riding modes that alter the riding characteristics and ABS behaviour according to the selected mode.
There is also no indication of a major suspension or engine redesign with this update. The TFT console remains the headline change, while some refreshed colour options have also been reported but should be treated as an expected styling update until officially confirmed.
Price Could Rise, But the Final Figure Is Still Pending
The current Bajaj Pulsar NS400Z is officially listed at ₹1,86,015 ex-showroom Delhi. That is the price of the currently listed model, not a confirmed price for the newly updated TFT-equipped version. Bajaj has not yet announced the revised price for the updated motorcycle.
A small price increase is expected because the new TFT brings additional hardware and connected technology. However, buyers should wait for the official announcement before treating any estimated increase as final.
This will be particularly important because the NS400Z’s value proposition has always been one of its biggest attractions. If Bajaj manages to keep the additional cost limited, buyers could get a significantly more modern cockpit without paying a dramatically higher amount for the motorcycle.
The final price will also decide how the updated NS400Z sits against other performance motorcycles in the market. For buyers comparing motorcycles on equipment, performance and technology, the new TFT could become an important advantage.
When Will the Updated NS400Z Launch?
The updated motorcycle has already been spotted at a dealership, which suggests that the official introduction is close. However, Bajaj has not announced an exact launch date or revised price yet. Current reports expect the updated NS400Z to arrive ahead of the festive season, but that remains an expected timeline rather than an official launch commitment.
The dealership sighting is significant because it indicates that the motorcycle is already close to its production form. The presence of the TFT display and updated switchgear suggests that Bajaj has moved beyond early testing and is preparing the motorcycle for market introduction.
Once the official announcement arrives, buyers should look for three things first: final price, delivery timeline and exact variant-wise equipment. These details will determine whether the updated motorcycle offers enough additional value over the currently listed NS400Z.
Is the New NS400Z Worth Waiting For?
For someone already planning to buy the Pulsar NS400Z, the updated version is certainly worth watching. The new TFT display addresses one of the most visible technology areas of the motorcycle and brings features such as navigation, calls, music, notifications and document access into the rider’s view.
However, buyers should not expect a completely different motorcycle underneath. The engine remains centred around the 349.13cc, 40.6 PS and 33.2 Nm package, while the performance hardware and overall mechanical character are expected to remain largely unchanged.
The real buying decision will therefore come down to the final price difference. If the TFT-equipped version carries only a modest premium, buyers looking for a more modern connected motorcycle may find the update particularly relevant. Those focused mainly on engine performance may see less reason to wait.
The NS400Z Is Getting Smarter, Not Faster
The latest Pulsar NS400Z update is less about chasing extra horsepower and more about bringing modern technology to Bajaj’s flagship naked Pulsar. The 5-inch TFT display, connected features and revised controls are the headline changes, while the existing 349.13cc engine continues to deliver 40.6 PS and 33.2 Nm.
With four riding modes, traction control, quickshifter, dual-channel ABS, USD front suspension and a rear Nitrox monoshock, the NS400Z already has a substantial performance and electronics package. The new TFT makes that package feel more complete and gives the motorcycle a more premium cockpit experience.
The only major pieces still awaited are the official launch announcement and revised price for the updated version. With the motorcycle already spotted at dealerships, Bajaj is expected to reveal those details soon. Until then, the current ₹1.86 lakh Delhi price should not be confused with the upcoming TFT-equipped version’s final price.
For riders looking at the Pulsar NS400Z, this is an update that could make a meaningful difference in everyday usability. It may not make the NS400Z faster, but it makes Bajaj’s performance-focused Pulsar considerably smarter, more connected and more modern.
