2026 Bajaj Pulsar NS 400Z & Dominar 400, New 350cc Engine | First Ride Review

Bajaj's flagship 400s have undergone a major change, but does it actually affect the riding experience? In this video, I ride the updated Bajaj Pulsar NS400Z and Dominar 400 to find out. Both motorcycles now feature a downsized 350cc engine, resulting in a slight dip in power and torque compared to the earlier version. However, Bajaj has also improved refinement and NVH levels, making both bikes feel smoother on the road. The Dominar 400 even gets a small power advantage over the NS400Z. Since the design, features, and overall package remain unchanged, the focus is entirely on how the new engine performs in the real world. Watch till the end for my detailed comparison and verdict. ⚙️ Bajaj Pulsar NS400Z Powertrain: 349cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine Power & Torque: 40.6 PS & 33.8 Nm Transmission: 6-speed gearbox with assist & slipper clutch Kerb Weight: 174 kg Pricing: Starts at Rs 1.80 lakh (ex-showroom) ⚙️ Bajaj Dominar 400 Powertrain: 349cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine Power & Torque: 40.6 PS & 33.8 Nm Transmission: 6-speed gearbox with assist & slipper clutch Kerb Weight: 193 kg Pricing: Starts at Rs 2.04 lakh (ex-showroom) 📊 Previous vs New Engine Previous Engine: 373.3cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled NS400Z Output (Old): 43.2 PS & 35.6 Nm NS400Z Output (New): 40.6 PS & 33.8 Nm Dominar 400 Output (Old): 40 PS & 35 Nm Dominar 400 Output (New): 40.6 PS & 33.8 Nm 0:00 - 1:38 : Intro 1:39 - 2:38 : Pulsar Design & Exhaust 2:39 - 3:30 : Pulsar Engine 3.31 - 8.30 : Pulsar Performance 8:31 - 11:50 : Dominar 400 Design & Exhaust 11.51 - 16: 02 - Dominar 400 Engine Performance 🔗 USEFUL LINKS Full specs & on-road price: https://www.91wheels.com/bikes/bajaj/pulsar-ns-400 Full specs & on-road price: https://www.91wheels.com/bikes/bajaj/dominar-400 2026 Bajaj Pulsar NS 400 Z & Dominar 400 Ride Review: Smaller Heart Same Soul! - https://www.91wheels.com/expert-review/bajaj-pulsar-ns-400-and-dominar-400-similar-name-different-engine 📲 FOLLOW 91WHEELS ▶️ YouTube → https://www.youtube.com/@91Wheels 📸 Instagram → https://www.instagram.com/91wheels 👍 Facebook → https://www.facebook.com/91wheels 🐦 Twitter/X → https://twitter.com/91wheels #91wheels #bajajns400z #dominar400 #bikereview #motorcyclecomparison #bajajauto
