Bajaj Pulsar NS400Z vs Hero Mavrick 440: Which 400cc Bike Should You Buy? | PowerDrift

[@tsplitart]

Took a test ride MAVRICK 440. My height is 5'11. That bike was just comfortable as a couch and it pulls (literally pulls, the showroom guy I requested to sit behind was about to fall off), you will be always in command. City ride is great. I was just blown away and it DOESN'T look small in person at all. A mini hulk in person. SIMPLY AMAZING

[@powerdriftofficial]

Well said!

[@aroy8731]

I found the engine braking too strong and unpleasant

[@tsplitart]

@@aroy8731 I believe it's preference. City ride needs this kind of stronger engine braking. I didn't felt it was too strong in my ride. Maybe, it's how I ride as I pickup fast and slow fast as well in my current commuter which happens to be a second hand TVS Wego( my fav of all time moped)

[@vigneshTAI]

Does it vibrate at handle bars while riding...I felt much😮

[@tsplitart]

@@vigneshTAI In test ride? If yes, then maybe you got the preproduction bikes. Prodcution ones dont have much vibrations before 100-110.

[@alexmercer3001]

These 400cc makes me look like a clown for buying the RR310 BTO. 100cc more for a lakh rupee less?. These two are best bargain.

[@kashcowgaming3649]

You have a bto man that most dynamic bike ❤

[@alexmercer3001]

@@kashcowgaming3649 Thanks man, but 1 lakh less for 400cc is still a better deal.

[@leotanpuia1450]

​@@alexmercer3001 yea right with that 1 lakh you know you can do more ...

[@sagarsahu9791]

Bro even rs 457 cost 4.5 l for a 450cc bike. In that case u paying 3l for a 300cc bike is justified coz it's a different category of bikes. 👌👌

[@powerdriftofficial]

@alex, these are also very different motorcycles from the RR310!

[@siddhu14]

I'm a fan a motorcycles with refinement and good low end torque. So, the under square engine in the Mavrick is a better deal to me atleast on paper. Also, I would like to own a simple motorcycle that doesn't need a liquid cooling. So, I'm more inclined towards the Mavrick. I'm about to test ride both back to back anyway to see how well, the on paper specs translate on to the road.

[@powerdriftofficial]

The Mav is a really nice product!

[@AkashJaiswalAJ]

nothing in the market rides like a mavrick. Smooth as butter

Now that you have brought it up

[@megadrivetheautoprime6112]

Yes...I own Hero Hunk..... . It's the Best of Hero....till date... Front and Rear are weaker points of Maverick...especially that fuckin g switch gear...

[@MyGadgets-bv2eb]

I own a HH Hunk as well and I've always wondered if it would look better with round headlights. Maverick gives a glimpse of that.

[@Culture_2520]

They should have made 400ns bigger it looks same as 200ns and headlamp is exactly the copy of fz&mt, saste me kuch bhi de de rahe India me

[@vbanner]

They did that to make that low of a price. Remember pulsars are only bought cause of the engine. We don't buy them for quality, frames, features, cornering etc.

[@jayanthmakam4547]

When Duke 390 is same as 250 and same as 200. Why can't pulsar 400 be same as 200

[@jayanthmakam4547]

​@@vbannerthat had changed now, for the price you get all of it, good frame, good electronics and offcourse good engine

[@aakashmondal789]

Have you even seen the bike IRL? It looks chunkier than NS200

[@siddheshgharat6300]

That is the point... As a Dominar owner.. i want that engine in a lighter package- thats what the NS400 is. Some things could have been avoided like the connected features and all can go for a better aluminium alloy swimgarm. Overall its good.

[@virajvrooms]

[@ananddarnal6702]

For me the design of NS aged gracefully & I like Maverick better because of my tastes but, hero should make changes to the design in the future because even small changes can produce great results like we see on many bikes🙏

[@powerdriftofficial]

Sure thing

[@user-mq4be7gq1l]

Pls do a Camparo of Maverick 440, CB350 & Classic 350

[@Robin-n7n]

In order to improve the bike performance and reduce bike vibration on handlebar or footpeg. In addition to that reduce engine heating and make gearbox shift smooth and precise gearshift. It is important for hero maverick 440 bike users to change the showroom engine oil to premium engine oil like motul 7100 , liquid moly or castrol power 1 ultimate with 15w50 engine oil grade and quantity of 2.5 litre. Do engine oil change after one month of showroom engine oil use to recover the showroom engine oil expense to some extent.

[@amareshsat]

Both are no doubt super VFM bike , but they both lost on the design.. Hero did a hurry work to release Mavrick without spending on design R&D and Bajaj did a lazy work by just putting Dominar engine in old NS200 bike to keep it's fav Pulsar alive in the race ... clearly visible ..

[@powerdriftofficial]

Street fighter and modern roadster. Not a lot of room to play around

[@Pramitchakravarty]

When every duke looks like duke but when a NS looks like NS everyone's complaining 🤣

[@Notsomeotherguy]

​@@PramitchakravartyYeah, yet the Duke has been redesigned several times over the years. The NS' design is the same since its launch in 2012. Not to mention the myriad of upgrades KTM has added with each iteration, while Bajaj has done the bare minimum. The NS definitely deserved more attention and love from em.

[@Pramitchakravarty]

@@Notsomeotherguy ik but bajaj Just took the if it's not broken don't fix it approach & I don't think it's too bad I mean the og pulsar design still looks good as well as the NS I don't know about everybody else but it still feels great
