Engine Displacement: 373.27 cc
The NS400Z is powered by the proven 373.27 cc single-cylinder, liquid-cooled, DOHC unit. This engine features DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) coated finger followers to reduce friction and improve thermal stability, ensuring the motor remains reliable even when pushed to its redline.
Max Power: 40 PS @ 8800 rpm
Delivering a blistering 40 PS at 8800 rpm, the NS400Z claims the title of the most powerful Pulsar ever built. The power delivery is linear but aggressive, making it a "segment killer" for enthusiasts looking for high-speed thrills.
Max Torque: 35 Nm @ 6500 rpm
With 35 Nm of torque peaking at 6500 rpm, the bike offers massive mid-range punch. Bajaj has revised the final drive with a larger 46-tooth rear sprocket compared to the Dominar, resulting in even faster off-the-line acceleration.
No. of Cylinders: 1
It retains a single-cylinder configuration. This keeps the bike slim and allows for a more competitive price point while still delivering the "thump" and character associated with large-displacement singles.
Valve Train: DOHC, 4-Valve
The Double Overhead Camshaft (DOHC) setup with 4 valves allows the engine to breathe better at high RPMs. This is critical for maintaining the high-speed performance required for highway touring.
Fuel System: Fuel Injection (FI)
The bike uses a sophisticated Fuel Injection system paired with Ride-by-Wire technology. This eliminates physical cables for the throttle, allowing for much smoother input and enabling multiple riding modes.
Top Speed: 157 km/h
The NS400Z is capable of a top speed of 157 km/h, making it one of the fastest bikes produced by an Indian manufacturer. It can comfortably cruise at triple-digit speeds without feeling breathless.
Mileage: 30–35 kmpl
Despite its performance, the NS400Z can return a respectable 30 to 35 kmpl when ridden moderately. However, aggressive city riding or high-speed highway runs will see this figure drop toward the mid-20s.
