Bajaj Pulsar NS400Z Body Kit Could Turn It Into RS400

Bajaj Pulsar NS400Z Body Kit Could Turn It Into RS400

Bajaj Pulsar NS400Z owners may soon have an aftermarket route to the fully-faired Pulsar that is missing from the factory range. Pune-based Autologue Design has created digital renders of an NS400Z with a full fairing and is asking riders whether there is enough interest to actually build the kit.

Autologue NS400Z Fairing Design

The biggest change is at the front, where the naked NS400Z gets a much larger fairing around the headlamp and a tall dark-tinted windscreen. The sides run into a large belly section with vents, sharp creases and 400 graphics, giving the bike a sportsbike or sports-tourer layout.

The render also shows a lower-looking cockpit instead of the stock handlebar arrangement, along with small mirrors mounted on the fairing. Pearl Metallic White is used for the concept, with black and red graphics. The NS400Z is also available in Brooklyn Black, Glossy Racing Red, Pewter Grey, Beach Blue, Metallic Pearl White and Ebony Black.

What Changes On The NS400Z

The underlying motorcycle appears largely unchanged in the render, so this is more about bodywork and riding position than creating a new motorcycle. The concept retains the alloy wheels, tyres, golden USD forks, fuel tank, split seats, grab rails, swingarm and braking hardware.

  • A full front fairing replaces the naked styling
  • Tall tinted windscreen adds touring-oriented coverage
  • Fairing-mounted mirrors replace the stock mirrors
  • A side-mounted exhaust replaces the underbelly setup shown on the stock bike

NS400Z Owners And The RS400 Idea

This is why the concept is interesting for current owners. Bajaj does not currently sell a fully-faired Pulsar using this 400cc-class platform, so the Autologue design effectively explores what an unofficial RS400 could look like. It is important not to confuse the render with a Bajaj product, because there is no indication here that Bajaj is developing an RS400.

If the body kit is eventually produced without mechanical changes, the bike should retain the standard NS400Z's basic performance characteristics. The current NS400Z has a 349.1cc engine making 42.41 bhp and 33.2 Nm, with a six-speed manual gearbox and 176kg kerb weight.

What Owners Rate The NS400Z

The NS400Z currently has an owner rating of 3.5/5 from 79 owner ratings. For someone considering the bike and then spending more on an aftermarket fairing, that ownership score is worth keeping in mind before treating the conversion as a simple styling upgrade.

Would you consider fitting this Autologue fairing to an NS400Z if it goes on sale?

TT Score

7/10

A strong value-focused performance bike for Indian buyers, with 349cc power and a claimed 33 km/l economy at a roughly ₹1.80–₹1.86 lakh ex-showroom price, but the 176 kg weight and only average owner score temper the package.

Who it suits

  • Performance-value buyer — The 349.1cc engine makes 42.41 bhp while the bike starts at approximately ₹1.80 lakh ex-showroom.
  • Fuel-conscious performance rider — The claimed 33 km/l economy is unusually useful for a 349cc petrol motorcycle.
  • Highway rider — The published 157 km/h top speed and 6-speed manual provide the hardware for sustained higher-speed riding.
  • Urban-plus-weekend rider — The 12-litre tank and 176 kg kerb weight make it a usable step-up bike while remaining within a manageable published size.

Worth knowing

  • · Published on-road prices vary from ₹2.18 lakh in Delhi to ₹2.37 lakh in Bangalore, so the purchase cost changes materially by city.
  • · The 176 kg kerb weight and 820 mm width are worth considering for frequent tight-city riding.
  • · Our figure of 3.5/5 from 79 owner ratings is only moderate, so the ownership score is not a standout strength.
