Riding a motorcycle is more than just transportation; it’s an experience that fuels passion and adventure. Bajaj Auto has once again raised the bar with the latest Pulsar N160, a street bike designed for thrill-seekers who crave both performance and style. This naked-style motorcycle now comes with an updated version featuring upside-down forks, Bluetooth connectivity, and ABS modes, making it an irresistible choice for riders across India.
Power and Performance That Excites
The Bajaj Pulsar N160 is powered by a 164.82cc BS6-compliant engine, delivering an impressive 15.7bhp of power and 14.65Nm of torque. This ensures a dynamic riding experience, whether in the city or on the highway. The oil-cooled, single-cylinder engine is paired with a five-speed gearbox that provides smooth and responsive shifting. With an ARAI-certified mileage of 51.6 kmpl, the Pulsar N160 is an excellent combination of power and fuel efficiency.
Cutting-Edge Features for a Modern Ride
Bajaj has introduced exciting upgrades to the Pulsar N160, including a fully digital instrument cluster with smartphone connectivity for call and SMS alerts, turn-by-turn navigation, and battery level indicators. The newly launched variant with USD front forks also boasts three ABS settings – Road, Rain, and Off-road – offering enhanced safety and adaptability for different riding conditions. For added convenience, the base model comes with a semi-digital instrument cluster and a USB charging port, ensuring riders stay connected on the go.
Striking Design with a Bold Presence
The Pulsar N160’s aggressive and muscular design gives it a commanding presence on the road. It features a centrally positioned projector LED headlamp with sleek LED DRLs, ensuring maximum visibility at all times. The top-spec variant also comes with golden-colored front forks, adding a premium touch to its already stunning aesthetics. Available in multiple eye-catching colors, including Brooklyn Black, Polar Sky Blue, Glossy Racing Red, and Pearl Metallic White, this motorcycle lets you ride in style.
Comfort and Handling Like Never Before
Designed for both city commutes and weekend getaways, the Pulsar N160 features an ergonomic riding posture with a comfortable seat height of 795mm. The bike’s 152kg kerb weight ensures easy maneuverability, while the well-tuned suspension—conventional telescopic forks in the base model and USD forks in the high-end variant—delivers a smooth and stable ride. With a fuel tank capacity of 14 liters, riders can enjoy long-distance journeys without frequent refueling stops.
Uncompromised Safety and Braking
Bajaj ensures top-tier safety with single and dual-channel ABS options for the Pulsar N160. The braking system consists of a single front and rear disc setup, providing excellent stopping power. The three ABS modes in the high-end variant allow riders to adapt to various terrains and weather conditions, enhancing overall safety and confidence on the road.
Pricing and Variants
The Bajaj Pulsar N160 is available in four variants, catering to different rider preferences. The starting price for the Single-Channel ABS variant is Rs. 1,22,972, while the Dual-Channel ABS variant is priced at Rs. 1,30,262. The newly launched Dual-Channel ABS 2024 variant is available for Rs. 1,32,530, and the top-end Bluetooth-enabled variant, which includes USD forks and premium features, is priced at Rs. 1,40,086 (ex-showroom prices).
Competition and Market Position
