We specify the local quasi hidden variable (LqHV) model reproducing the probabilistic description of all N-partite joint von Neumann measurements on an N-qudit state. Via this local probability model, we derive a new upper bound on the maximal violation by an N-qudit state of Bell inequalities of any type (either on correlation functions or on joint probabilities) for [Formula: see text] observables per site. This new upper bound not only improves for all [Formula: see text] [Formula: see text] and d the corresponding results available for general Bell inequalities in the literature but also, for the N-qubit case with two observables per site, reduces exactly to the attainable upper bound known for quantum violations of correlation [Formula: see text] setting Bell inequalities in a dichotomic case.
