Bajaj Teases Black Colour Option On The Pulsar 250: Eclipse Edition?

Recently, Bajaj uploaded 9 pictures in a grid-like fashion with the tag "Dawn of the eclipse" to tease the new colour shade on the newly introduced Pulsar 250 model range.

At present, both the Bajaj Pulsar N250 and F250 motorcycles are offered in just three colour options - Racing Red, Caribbean Blue and Techno Grey. However, both these motorcycles sport slightly different graphics to further differentiate themselves.

Speaking about the new shade, every generation and facelifted iteration of Pulsar motorcycles has had an all-black themed model somewhere in its timeline. So, it is obvious to expect the upcoming 'Eclipse Edition' to be the all-black themed version of the newly launched 250 models.

Looking at the teaser images, we are not sure whether Bajaj has decided to remove the bronze finish on the engine cover. This is unlikely to keep the production procedure simple. Moreover, the bronze finish on the engine will give the motorcycle a nice contrasting look.

Speaking about Bajaj Pulsar 250 range, it is available in two variants - N250 and F250. The N250 is the naked variant, whereas the F250 is the semi-faired variant of the motorcycle.

In terms of features, both Bajaj Pulsar N250 and Bajaj Pulsar F250 motorcycles come with the same set of features such as powerful LED projector headlamps, LED tail lamps, LED DRLs, front and rear disc brakes, etc.

In addition to these features, the newly introduced Bajaj Pulsar 250 twins also get features such as a traditional analogue tachometer, digital speedometer, digital trip meter, fuel efficiency indicator, service reminder, gear-position indicator, distance-to-empty fuel gauge, and a clock.

In addition to these features, the Bajaj Pulsar 250 twins also come equipped with a USB charging port as standard, which we think is a thoughtful addition to the feature list of the motorcycles.

In terms of powertrain, the Bajaj Pulsar 250 twins are powered by a new 249cc, single-cylinder, 2-valve, Oil-Cooled, SOHC engine. This engine in Bajaj Pulsar N250 and F250 puts out a respectable 23.5bhp of peak power at 8,750rpm and 21.5Nm of peak torque at 6,500rpm.

However, unlike the Bajaj Pulsar NS200 that was launched in 2012, the Bajaj Pulsar 250 twins sport a 5-speed gearbox with a slipper clutch instead of a 6-speed gearbox.

Braking duty on the Bajaj Pulsar 250 twins is carried out by a single 300mm disc brake at the front and a smaller 230mm disc brake at the rear. However, unlike its primary rivals, the Bajaj Pulsar 250 twins come with single-channel ABS and do not offer dual-channel ABS even as an option.

In addition to that, the new Bajaj Pulsar 250 comes shod with wide 130/70 tubeless tyres at the rear and 100/80 tubeless tyres at the front.

Prices for the Bajaj Pulsar F250 starts from Rs 1.45 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi), whereas the Bajaj Pulsar N250 is priced at Rs 1.44 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi).

Thoughts About The New Colour Option On The Bajaj Pulsar 250 Twins

The new Black shade on the Bajaj Pulsar 250 twins will make the motorcycle look a lot more attractive and sportier than the previous colour options. However, it is not known whether the new colour option will be a limited edition.
