                  Expierence with Pulsar N160
                  Incredible breaking system and emergency stops, also expireneced the free handle module to get gaps while driving, also torck capacity little bit, rest is everything is fine. The battery power may decrease when the vehicle is parked outdoors or during rainy weather, so proper care is necessary. The mileage is good and excellent overall.

                  Best bike in this segment..
                  Bike is very smooth in city as well as highways. It has very comfortable seat and posturing with a good mileage and smooth and refined engine. Bike is overall good by looks and performance in the segment of 160cc. I ride the bike 400km in once and it is very smooth and no vibration in handle and refined engine with soothing performance. I only stop bike for half an hour after crossing 250kms and bike is overall perfect for far journey by bike. I would like to recommend this bike to office employees who want a stable bike also mileage, performance, and good engine with a genuine budget and for family bike, it is good. This bike has it own craze in youth who want sporty bike in low budget as it is a fast commuter bike.

                  For daily city riding the engine is smooth and responsive. It’s particularly good for overtaking and quick acceleration compared with many conventional 125cc commuters bikes. A practical expectation 50/60 km/l. Brakes and safety. Higher variant get single ABS Channel. Bike have the full safety features that any bike may hardly have.

                  About bike
                  Looks-wise, the best bike in the 125cc segment, and the mileage is very good at 50 kmpl. Riding comfort is good for daily city usage, and the servicing cost is very low. It is a low-maintenance bike with good looks. I have done very long trips of about 250–300 km in one stretch, and the performance was very good, that too in mountain areas.

                  High quality safety bike
                  This is all ok with comfort, did not face any problem and the engine of 125cc is the best, enjoy the fast speed and give the feel of super bike. This is the best bike in terms of performance at the highways and best for the off roading. I did't face any problem in my entire 2 years of experience. I love hero Xtreme 125R.
