The Most Precise Pulsar Ever – Safety First
Uncompromising on rider safety, the NS400Z possesses a comprehensive suite of braking and control features. Dual-channel ABS with Combined ABS technology ensures exceptional stopping power and prevents wheel lock-up under various riding conditions. Switchable Electronic Traction Control (ETC) further enhances grip in Sport and Off-road modes, empowering riders with greater control.
Adjustable levers (five steps) and large disc brakes (320mm front, 230mm rear) provide a comfortable and responsive feel. Wide tires (110/70-17 front, 140/70 R17 rear) optimize grip and handling. The long 1344mm wheelbase contributes to agile maneuvering, allowing riders to attack corners confidently. The Hydroformed tubular Streetfighter handlebar delivers performance with reduced vibration (NVH), increases stiffness for precise control, and has an aesthetically pleasing design, that complements the NS400Z’s overall look and feel.
