The 2024 Pulsar F250 gets a host of upgrades over the older model. This includes the new red and white graphics across the motorcycle against the base black paint scheme. Notably, the F250 misses out on the USD front forks and continues to get telescopic forks instead of the older version. Bajaj likely decided to retain the telescopic units to keep costs in check on the Pulsar F250, while it has absorbed the price hike on the Pulsar N250.

The rest of the features remain identical. The 2024 Pulsar F250 gets a new digital console with Bluetooth connectivity and turn-by-turn navigation. It also gets three ABS modes – Road, Rain, and Off-Road. The bike gets traction control and a wider 140-section rear tyre as well.
There are no changes to the chassis and engine either on the 2024 Pulsar F250. The bike uses the same 249.07 cc single-cylinder, oil-cooled motor tuned for 24 bhp at 8,750 rpm and 21.5 Nm of peak torque at 6,500 rpm. The motor continues to be paired with a 5-speed gearbox. Braking performance comes from discs at either end with dual-channel ABS.

Between the Pulsar N250 and F250, the former was the more popular selling motorcycle, which is why Bajaj decided to roll out the upgrades on that model first. This will be the F250’s second innings after being discontinued previously due to low demand. The new F250 also has new competition to deal with this time taking on the Hero Karizma XMR 210, apart from the Yamaha R15 V4 and Suzuki Gixxer 250 in the segment.
