BREAKING: 2023 Bajaj Pulsar NS160 Launched In India At Rs 1,34,675
Now gets an upside-down fork and is OBD 2-ready
Bajaj has taken the wraps off the 2023 iteration of the Pulsar NS160 in India. It is now priced at Rs 1,34,675 (ex-showroom Delhi), which is a premium of Rs 9,651 over the 2022 model. Here’s a quick look at what it packs.
The biggest update on the 2023 Bajaj NS160 is the addition of a 33mm upside-down fork. Additionally, the petal disc brakes and Bybre callipers have been replaced by circular discs and Grimeca callipers. The front disc size, specifically, has increased from 260mm to 300mm, the same as the N250 and F250. It also gets a new black shade with an updated livery.
The NS160 remains to be powered by the same 160.3cc single-cylinder mill producing 17.2PS and 14.6Nm, which is paired to the same five-speed gearbox. The frame and rear suspension are carried over from the 2022 model. Also, as BS6 phase 2 norms are due to kick in from next month, the NS160 is OBD 2-ready now. Bajaj claims a fuel efficiency of 45kmpl from this mill.
The NS160 rolls on 17-inch alloys which are lighter by a kilo, wrapped in wider 100/80 and 130/70 section MRF Nylogrip Zapper rubber at the front and rear respectively. It gets the safety net of dual-channel ABS as standard. The 2023 iteration tips scales at 152kg, a weight gain of a kilo over its predecessor.
The semi-digital instrument console too has been revised, and now comes equipped with a gear position indicator in addition to all the features seen on the outgoing model. That said, it continues to miss out on smartphone connectivity and navigation.

- 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.Read More4 5
- Review of my 6 years old NS160I 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.Read More7 2
