Bajaj Auto has officially launched the 2026 Bajaj Pulsar NS200 as a successor to the existing model. The launch happened with the ex-showroom price of ₹1.60 lakh. It has strengthened the model positioning in the segment; compared to the outgoing model, the price has been increased by ₹11,700 to ₹27,400 for the single-channel and double-channel ABS variants, respectively.
The newly introduced Pulsar NS200 ICE-powered bike comes with multiple feature upgrades, ensuring a better riding experience. Mechanically and dimensionally this motorcycle remains the same; it means it has the same ICE, suspension and braking setup, and size. Even the design of this refreshed version is familiar. The launch happened in only a single variant that is fully fledged.
New features added.
Between the handlebars, the 2026 Bajaj Pulsar NS200 motorcycle now gets a 5-inch TFT display that supports wireless connectivity via wifi and bluetooth for the Google map mirroring. As per Bajaj, an electronic throttle body is also available for this bike that enables ride-by-wire control. A total of five riding modes are offered, they are Road, Rain, Sport, Off-Road, and Tour.
The availability of different riding modes makes it more convenient to ride on different terrains. The feature of traction control helps with conventional highway cruising. This model is also equipped with the bidirectional quickshifter, which is marked as Sports Shifter, for the clutchless upshifts and downshifts. Panic Brake Alert and hazard lights have also been introduced as safety features.
Bajaj also has introduced adjustable clutch and brake levers, ensuring convenience. The Type-C charging port can be seen below the TFT display to help with phone charging during the ride.

And the rear wheel gets a 130/70-R17 tyre.
