- The BS6-compliant NS160 is around Rs 9,200 more expensive than before.
- Expect a small drop in power and torque.
- There are no cosmetic changes.
In the past few weeks, we have seen several spy shots of BS6-compliant Bajaj motorcycles at dealerships. Joining this list is the BS6 Pulsar NS160, which has been spotted for the first time at a dealership. According to our dealer sources, the BS6-compliant NS160 is priced at Rs 1.03 lakh (ex-showroom), making it around Rs 9,200 more expensive than before. The booking amount is pegged at Rs 5,000.

Bajaj has not officially revealed the spec sheet yet, but we expect it to have a similar power output as the older model, which produced 15.5PS and 14.6Nm. Considering that the motorcycle is now BS6-compliant, we expect the weight to go up by a smidge. Apart from these small changes, the rest of the motorcycle is the same as before.
We were expecting the NS160 to get a minor cosmetic update in the form of new paint options or decals, but the spy shots reveal the BS6 model looking exactly the same as the older model. However, we expect Bajaj might bring a new colour scheme for the NS160 in the future.
In terms of rivals, it goes up against the TVS Apache RTR 160 4V, Suzuki Gixxer and the Yamaha FZ Version 3.0.

- Good bike for youngstersGood handling and medium breaking, medium performance for short time city and highway riding, good sharp stylish looking naked bike, good road presence, low service charge with medium mileage 30 to 40 kmpl. Long ride comfort is not good after 100km. Wrist pain and shoulder pain, good handling bike. It's give you confidence to flicker very easily. Front break is good stopping power but too much abs kicking problem, rear brake is not good, no stopping power. Top speed after 2nd service 124 highest, mileage not that good 40 km after simple riding. If you ride aggressively, mileage can drop upto 30-25 kmpl. Can recommend this bike to the youngsters who go to college and those who want to explore many places on bike. Short time riding and some time aggressive riding and those who want naked sports bike in low cc and low service charge bike, this is good for them.Read More3

- 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 4
- 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
