Bajaj's in-development 250cc adventure machine has been spotted testing in India again. The engine is a 249cc air/oil-cooled single derived from the Pulsar N250, possibly upgraded with a four-valve head. Test bikes carry a TFT dash and Michelin MT60 dual-purpose tyres. A global debut in Latin America is expected around Christmas 2026, with India following in early 2027 at roughly Rs 1.5 lakh.

The juiciest part of the rumour is a four-valve head on the Pulsar N250's 249cc single. If they rework intake and exhaust while staying air and oil cooled, the target isn't peak power, it's midrange grunt. And fitting Michelin MT60s says they're testing something other than an 80-percent-tarmac city adventure bike. Love it.

Up against the Xpulse 210 and KLX230. At that price it can genuinely compete.

Testing on MT60s means they're genuinely thinking about unpaved roads.

249cc from the N250, rumoured four-valve head. If it stays air/oil-cooled, serviceability shouldn't change.

At the spy-shot stage there's always a "maybe four valves". I'll believe it when it launches.

A tall 250 adventure bike for Rs 1.5 lakh? Of course that sells. That price is brutal.

Isn't it unusual for Brazil to get it first? It's an Indian brand.
