                  It is one of the smoothest engines that doesn't heat too often. Still feel indicators should be LED by now. Fit and finish are international standard. Throttle has a lot of give and play, which for a 250cc quarter litre engine is very good as it can be taken out for touring as well as for everyday city commutes. Riding dynamics triangle is perfect for even short riders. Surprising and satisfactory for a big engine

                  good bike but need some improvements.
                  The bike is good handling and performance but the mileage is not that good, it gives me 30-35 kmpl mileage. Meanwhile, the other 160 segment bikes give more mileage and it's not that smooth at higher revs, feels too much vibration. Design is good and handling is good but not so comfortable feels pain in back and shoulder after long ride as it's sports bike.

                  Review of my 6 years old NS160
                  I got this bike when i was 18 back in 2019, after almost 6 plus years and 30 thousand kilometres. I personally see this bike as the best value for money one can get. Apart from that this bike is still relevant after all these years. The one thing i like the most about this vehicle is its handling. If maintained well this bike gives a smooth and comfortable ride be it in city or highway. Mine is twin disc variant with single channel ABS, break bite is quick enough to react in emergency breaking situations. The only con I have noticed so far is bajaj's parts durability. Though they offer parts at cheaper rates comparatively but still it becomes a headache when you need to replace them more often. Will recommend this bike any day. For me this is a perfect package of commuter, adventure, long riding basically everything. I have done 500 kms in a single day stopped at every 100 kms for nearly 30 mins and the bike performed very well. This is a perfect bike for those who look for a all-rounder bike with low maintenance.

                  My 1500 km riding experience with bajaj NS160
                  i choose this bike as i am a college student and i love the sporty bikes. even the maintainance and the reliablity were anotheer major factor. its service cost are aslo low and its mileage is also a good point . the handling and the overall balance of the bike is too impressive, if we talk about the features, it's quite good.In city traffics the bike is extremly flickable.

                  Power with True Control
                  I chose this one after test riding a few. It felt steadier and better balanced. The engine sound was quieter, and it looked a bit sportier compared to others in my range. Chose it for comfort and upright seating. I’ve done long rides and daily commutes both. No big issue so far. Brakes grip well and the suspension takes bumps nicely. The seat is comfortable even after hours of riding. Feels light and comfortable on traffic roads. I’d recommend it for regular users who want comfort with economy. The looks are decent and it runs strong without frequent repairs or tuning. Ideal for daily city riders. Picked it for its sporty design and grip.
