Overview
[Update: The Bajaj Pulsar N160 with 4-valve engine (called Pulsar N160 S and Pulsar N160 SS) has been launched. Apart from the all-new 4-valve engine, it also gets several feature updates.]
The Bajaj Pulsar N160 has a starting price of Rs 1,14,401 (ex-showroom, Delhi). Positioned as a sporty streetfighter in the 160cc segment, the motorcycle blends an aggressive design language, practical performance for daily usage and occasional weekend run, and a decent list of features. It shares its design language with its larger siblings, such as the N250, and aims to deliver a balance of everyday usability and spirited riding. The Pulsar N160 targets young riders looking for a stylish commuter that also offers strong performance and updated features. It is also E20 compatible, as is the case with all other Bajaj bikes for the last 10 years.

Design
- The Bajaj Pulsar N160 carries forward the sharp and muscular styling seen on the Pulsar N series.
- It features a LED projector headlight with LED DRLs, giving the motorcycle a distinctive front-end.
- Aggressive tank shrouds and a compact tail section that enhances its sporty character.
- Other design highlights include a muscular fuel tank, sharp tank extensions, and a sleek tail section with an LED tail-light.
- The bike is available in four colour options: Brooklyn Black, Pearl Metallic White, Glossy Racing Red and Polar Sky Blue.

Features
- The Pulsar N160 gets a reverse negative LCD console with Bluetooth-enabled turn-by-turn navigation.
- The display shows essential information like speed, fuel level, has a service reminder indicator, gear indicator and shows trip details along with navigation prompts.
- Rider aids include dual-channel ABS with 3 ABS modes (Road, Rain and Off-road).
- Convenience features include a USB charging port (Type-A mobile charging port).

Riding Posture & Comfort
- The Pulsar N160 offers a sporty riding posture, but is still comfortable and upright, thanks to a wide handlebar and slightly rear-set footpegs.
- The 795mm seat height makes it accessible for riders of different heights.
- Its well-padded seat and spacious rider triangle should keep riders comfortable during daily commutes as well as occasional longer rides.
- You get both single piece seat and split seat setup, depending on the variant. If you frequently ride with two-up, the pillion seat in the single piece seat should be more accessible.

Engine, Mileage & Performance
- Technical specifications of the Pulsar N160 include a 164.82cc, air-cooled, 2-valve engine that produces 16PS at 8,750rpm and 14.65Nm at 6,750rpm.
- The engine is paired with a 5-speed gearbox, delivering smooth power delivery suitable for both city riding and highway cruising. The throttle response is linear too.
- The motorcycle has a 14-litre fuel tank, making it practical for longer rides without frequent fuel stops. The tank flap is hinged for extra convenience.

Handling & Ride Quality
- It rides on 100/80-17 front and 130/70-17 rear tyres.
- Suspension duties are handled by a 33mm inverted fork (only on USD variants) and a monoshock.
- The ride quality is a little firm as the rear suspension tuning makes sharper bumps felt.
- Braking performance comes from a 300mm front disc and a 230mm rear disc, supported by dual-channel ABS.

Initial Impressions
- The Bajaj Pulsar N160 stands out as a well-rounded streetfighter with sporty styling, a decent list of features, and adequate performance.
- With its refined engine, and improved hardware such as an inverted fork, it offers a strong package for riders looking for a stylish and capable motorcycle in the 160cc segment.

- Great handling - changes direction quickly, feels stable when leaned too
- Riding posture, although a bit sporty, is quite comfortable
- One of the few bikes in the 160cc segment to get dual-channel ABS
Could Be Better
- Looks very similar to the smaller Pulsar N150

Bajaj Pulsar N160 Summary
This is the perfect motorcycle for a Pulsar fan who wants a modern design, smooth performance, reasonable mileage, and good set of features - all at an affordable price point. The N160 is a proper naked motorcycle with a muscular tank and aggressive stance that makes it stand out in a crowd. The distinctive underbelly exhaust gives it a visual identity unlike anything else in its segment and the exhaust sound is refined yet purposeful, which is typical of Bajaj's engine configuration philosophy. It has enough top speed for confident highway use and a chassis that handles speed breakers without any drama, making it a well-rounded choice for daily riding.
Bajaj Pulsar N160 On-road price
The on road price in Delhi starts at ₹1,39,990 and goes up to ₹1,56,623. It is available in 4 variants. The ex showroom price starts at an accessible bracket across 4 different variants ranging from the base model with single channel abs all the way to the top-spec version with n160 dual channel abs and upside down forks. Each step up the variant ladder adds meaningful upgrades in both braking hardware and features, so there is a good option for every budget.
Bajaj Pulsar N160 Specifications and Dimensions
The Bajaj Pulsar N160 is powered by a 164.82 cc, Air Cooled engine producing 16 PS @ 8750 rpm and 14.65 Nm @ 6750 rpm. The engine is paired with a 5 Speed gearbox. The Bajaj Pulsar N160 weight is 151 kg, while the seat height is 795 mm. Suspension bits include a Telescopic Forks (37 mm) and Nitrox Monoshock. The engine puts out a max power of 16 PS with strong pull across the rev range, though being air cooled rather than oil cooled, it is best suited for city rides and short highway stretches. Key specifications include a healthy ground clearance that makes navigating speed breakers and broken roads easy, and a wide 130/70 rear tyre for better grip during cornering. Actual mileage in real-world conditions typically falls in the 40 to 45 kmpl range, which makes fuel efficiency competitive for a performance-focused 160cc machine. The top variant gets upside down front forks or upside down forks replacing the standard telescopic setup on the base model, which noticeably sharpens the handling feel. A slipper clutch is available on higher variants, reducing lever effort and keeping things smooth during aggressive downshifts. The disc brake setup at both ends combined with the n160 dual channel abs on top trims makes for a very confident braking hardware package. The single piece seat on base trims keeps the look clean while the split seat on higher variants adds a sportier character to the overall profile.
In Bajaj Pulsar N160 Dual Channel Split Seat USD, the top variant, there's a 17 inch front and 17 inch rear wheel, wrapped with 100/80 and 130/70 respectively. The fuel tank capacity stands at 14 L litres.
Bajaj Pulsar N160 Features
The feature list is pretty decent for a bike of its segment as it gets a full-LCD console with smartphone connectivity, turn-by-turn navigation, call & SMS alerts. There’s also 3 ABS modes, along with a projector headlight. The digital console is a full-LCD unit that comes loaded with strong connectivity features including smartphone pairing, navigation and call alerts. The bi functional led projector headlight is a segment-first feature that makes a big difference for night rides while also giving the front of the bike a sharp and premium look. Taken together the connectivity features on higher variants make the N160 one of the most well-equipped options you can buy at this price point.
Bajaj Pulsar N160 Colour Options
Across variants, the Bajaj Pulsar N160 is available in 6 colours. The palette includes a distinct shade like Harbor Grey which gives buyers a mature and understated option alongside the bolder choices, making sure the N160 has something for all kinds of riders.
