Expected to fall within the 100-125 cc range, this commuter bike boasts telescopic front forks paired with a monoshock at the rear, along with a combination of disc and drum brakes. Safety features such as single-channel ABS or Combi-braking are likely to be included to meet regulatory standards.

Under the hood, the Pulsar NS400Z is powered by the same engine found in the Dominar 400. This liquid-cooled 373 cc Unit generates 39 BHP and Torque of 35 NM mated to a 6-speed gearbox with a slip and assist clutch. Equipped with ride-by-wire technology, riding modes, traction control, and various ABS modes, the Pulsar NS400Z offers a blend of performance and advanced features for riders.
