Bajaj Pulsar NS200 vs Hero Xtreme 200S 4V: Which one to choose

Bajaj Auto launched the updated iteration of the Pulsar NS200 in India just a few days ago. Available at ₹157,427 (ex-showroom), the new Bajaj Pulsar NS200 was launched alongside its other NS series siblings including the NS125 and NS160. With this launch of the updated NS200, the homegrown two-wheeler manufacturer aims to boost its sales in the rapidly growing 200 cc motorcycle segment.

In the last few years, demands for premium bigger capacity motorcycles have increased across India. The new-age consumers are increasingly focusing on buying motorcycles in the 200 cc and above category instead of opting for 100-125 cc segments. Bajaj Auto aims to encash this trend. However, it is not an easy task for the Bajaj Pulsar NS200, as the motorcycle competes with some tough rivals. The Bajaj motorcycle competes with rivals like TVS Apache RTR 200 4V and Hero Xtreme 200S 4V.
