Bajaj Pulsar NS160 Price
The Bajaj Pulsar NS160 is available in a single variant and is now priced at Rs 1,10,086. It is offered in Metallic Pearl White, Burnt Red, and Pewter Grey paint jobs. The NS160 has witnessed a second price hike since December 2020.
Bajaj Pulsar NS160 Features
The Pulsar NS160 comes with sharp, aggressive streetfighter styling with a muscular mass-forward look. It gets a halogen headlamp with pilot lamps and a semi-digital instrument cluster. The raised clip-on handlebars and split seats ensure a comfortable yet slightly sporty riding position. To keep costs in check, Bajaj has equipped the Pulsar NS160 with single-channel ABS.
Bajaj Pulsar NS160 Engine
The new greener 160.3cc air and oil-cooled motor now gets fuel-injection, delivering 17.2PS at 9,000rpm and 14.6Nm at 7250rpm. For reference, the BS4 Pulsar NS160 made 15.5PS at 8500rpm and 14.6Nm at 6500rpm. While power is up by 1.7PS, torque output remains the same.
The new motor, however, generates peak power and torque at a higher rpm than before. The updated motorcycle gets a 5-speed gearbox as well.
Bajaj Pulsar NS160 Suspension and Brakes
The Pulsar NS160 BS6 gets the same perimeter frame as before. Suspension duties are handled by conventional telescopic forks and an adjustable monoshock. Its braking setup consists of a single 260mm petal disc up front and a 230mm disc at the rear. The NS160 gets single-channel ABS. The bike’s 17-inch alloys are shod with 90/90-section front and 120/80-section rear tyres.
Bajaj Pulsar NS160 Rivals
The Bajaj Pulsar NS160 competes with the TVS Apache RTR 160 4V, Suzuki Gixxer BS6, Yamaha FZ-S V3, and Hero Xtreme 160R BS6. But as far as pricing is concerned, the bike will also compete against the Apache 180 and the Pulsar 180F Neon.

Pulsar NS160 Expert Review
Bajaj launched the Pulsar NS160 to tap into the fast-growing 160cc segment which offers a balance between style and performance on a budget. Though the NS160 looks identical to its elder sibling, the Pulsar NS200, it gets an all-new engine, a slick gearbox and a different set of tyres. Its aggressive and muscular styling, paired with new graphics, make it stand out on the road. Moreover, the Pulsar NS160 is the only bike in its segment that features a perimeter frame.
From the borrowed components, the most noticeable ones are the instrument cluster, the split-seat configuration, rearview mirrors, the headlamp unit and turn indicators. The differentiating parameters include thinner fork tubes at the front, skinnier tyres and the NS160 badging.
The Pulsar NS 160 is powered by a 160.3cc, single-cylinder, oil-cooled motor derived from the discontinued Pulsar AS 150. It produces a peak power of 15.5PS at 8500rpm and a maximum of 14.6Nm at 6500rpm, mated to a 5-speed transmission. Though a smaller motor, the NS160 likes to be pushed hard and climbs through the revs quite quickly. The power delivery is linear through the rev range and the engine felt quite tractable in our roll-on tests.
Its front disc and a rear drum brake offers good feedback and brings the bike to a standstill as and when required. The addition of single-channel ABS should further improve its braking prowess. Suspension duties are handled by telescopic forks at the front and a Nitrox monoshock at the rear. Its chiselled fuel tank makes it easier to grip the tank while its perimeter frame improves handling.
