Bajaj Pulsar N160: Variants Explained
The new base variant is over Rs 10,000 cheaper than before!
Bajaj Auto recently launched a new base variant of the Pulsar N160. The new variant is over Rs 10,000 cheaper than before, and now features a single-piece seat and single-channel ABS at the front. We now explain in detail how the three total variants differ from each other:
Engine And Underpinnings
All variants of the N160 are powered by the same 164.2cc, air-and-oil-cooled engine which delivers 16PS and 14.65Nm and it is mated to a five-speed gearbox. So, all models deliver the same level of performance and mileage. Other shared components across all variants include the monoshock, LED projector headlight, signature Pulsar twin LED tail-light, 17-inch wheels with tubeless tyres at both ends, the chassis, and the overall design.
Single-Piece Seat, Single-Channel ABS
This is the newest variant and also the most affordable one, priced at Rs 1,21,722 (ex-showroom Pune). It gets a new single-piece seat and features single-channel ABS, but lacks Bluetooth smartphone connectivity or navigation. While the absence of these features might be a drawback for some, this variant is ideal for those who prioritize an affordable price point without needing too many extras, and want the single-piece seat for added convenience and comfort.
Split-Seat, Dual-Channel ABS
Moving up, this now middle-spec variant, is priced at Rs 1,31,680 (ex-showroom Pune), and it has a split-seat setup that provides a sportier appearance. It features dual-channel ABS, smartphone connectivity, turn-by-turn navigation, call and SMS alerts. This variant adds more value for riders who want features and a sportier look with the split-seats. It costs Rs 9,958 more than the base model.
Split-Seat, Inverted Fork
This is the most expensive variant and it is priced at Rs 1,39,693 (ex-showroom Pune). It stands out with its golden coloured inverted fork, which gives it a premium look. It is the most feature packed variant with not only smartphone connectivity for call and SMS alerts, and turn-by-turn navigation, but also has three ABS modes: Road, Rain, and Off-road.
BikeDekho Says
With the launch of the new single-seat variant, Bajaj has made the Pulsar N160 more affordable than before. As the brand continues to evolve its offerings, this new variant provides a more affordable entry point for customers, while still delivering a sporty and stylish riding experience.
