The Bajaj Pulsar F250 is a modern semi-faired sports motorcycle from Bajaj Auto, introduced in the Indian market in October 2021. Launched to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the Pulsar series, this bike is widely regarded as the spiritual successor to the iconic Pulsar 220F. The F250 was launched alongside the N250 model, offering a fresh yet familiar experience for Pulsar enthusiasts. While it carries the semi-faired design cues of the older model, the F250 brings updated styling and contemporary features.

Highlights include a sculpted fuel tank, sharp contours on the side panels, a sporty windscreen with flush-mounted indicators, a projector LED headlamp, split seat design, metal grab rails, side-slung exhaust, and a distinctive Infinity-style LED tail lamp. Together, these elements lend the bike a modern and sporty appearance while preserving some of its retro charm.

These dimensions provide a good mix of comfort, stability, and sporty handling.
Engine
Under the hood, the Pulsar F250 is powered by a 249cc, single-cylinder, 2-valve, oil-cooled, fuel-injected engine. It delivers a maximum power of 24.5 PS @ 8750 RPM and a peak torque of 21.5 Nm @ 6500 RPM. The bike features an assist and slipper clutch, ensuring smooth gear shifts and better control during aggressive downshifting. It’s a solid performer in the 250cc segment, offering a balance of power, efficiency, and daily usability.
Braking and Suspension
Braking duties are handled by a 300 mm front disc with a bi-piston caliper and ABS, while the rear features a 230 mm disc (non-ABS). This setup ensures confident and controlled braking—particularly suitable for city and highway riding in conditions like those in Bangladesh.
Suspension-wise, the bike is equipped with a 37 mm telescopic front fork with an anti-friction bush for smoother handling. At the rear, it gets a 7-step adjustable monoshock, which helps absorb bumps effectively and improves overall ride comfort.
Tires
Bajaj has fitted the F250 with wider, performance-focused tires for enhanced road grip and stability:
• Front Tire: 100/80-17
• Rear Tire: 130/70-17
Both are tubeless, which adds convenience and reduces the risk of sudden deflation. These tires are well-suited for urban and highway riding.
Electricals and Meter Console
The F250 features a modern electrical system designed to support its sporty performance. Key features include:
• Bi-functional LED DRLs with projector headlamp
• LED blade-style tail lamp
• LED turn indicators
• USB charging port for convenience

Finallay

Its robust design, updated features, and reliable engine make it a strong contender in the 250cc sports commuter segment. For riders in Bangladesh and similar markets, the F250 is expected to provide a satisfying and enjoyable riding experience, continuing the Pulsar legacy with a modern twist.
