The 2024 Bajaj Pulsar NS160 And NS200 Are Finally Here!
The NS125 has been teased simultaneously, suggesting it’ll get the same headlight and instrument console changes as well
The 2024 Bajaj Pulsar NS160 and the Bajaj Pulsar NS200 are finally here, as both bikes have been launched with price tags of Rs 1,45,792 and Rs 1,57,427 (both ex-showroom Delhi) respectively. For perspective, the older models cost Rs 1,36,736 and Rs 1,49,363 (both ex-showroom Delhi) respectively. This means the updated Pulsar NS160 is about Rs 9,000 more premium than the older bike and the NS200 is about Rs 8,000 more premium than the older model. We have reached out to Bajaj regarding such a massive hike for the Pulsar NS160. We’ll update it here when the manufacturer responds.
What’s new? Well, firstly, the halogen headlight units have now been replaced by LED ones. There are two LED units at the centre with two lightning bolt-shaped LED DRLs on either side. The headlight cowl also has cleaner design lines compared to that of the older bike.
Secondly, the updated Pulsar NS160 and NS200 get an all-new negatively-lit LCD instrument console and come equipped with Bluetooth connectivity for call and SMS alerts, phone battery and signal levels and turn-by-turn navigation. The console also displays distance to empty, real-time and average mileage reading along with the regular readouts. The left switchgear has been reworked to accommodate a switch to navigate through the display display. Also, both bikes are available in three colour schemes: Brooklyn Black, Pearl Metallic White, and Racing Red.
Design-wise, both bikes have remained unchanged. The same goes for the mechanical aspects of the bikes as well. As such, the Bajaj Pulsar NS160 is powered by the same 160.3cc, single-cylinder engine producing 17.2PS and 14.6Nm and the Pulsar NS200 is powered by the same 199.5cc, single-cylinder engine producing 24.5PS and 18.74Nm. In sum, such a massive premium, especially for the NS160, for what is at the end of the day a new headlight and console is a tough pill to swallow.
The Bajaj Pulsar NS125 will also be updated for 2024. According to the teaser, the bike will get the same headlight and instrument console changes as the Pulsar NS160 and Pulsar NS200 without turn-by-turn navigation.
The Bajaj Pulsar NS160 rivals the Suzuki Gixxer, the TVS Apache RTR 160 4V, the Yamaha FZ-S Fi V4 and the Hero Xtreme 160R 4V. The Bajaj Pulsar NS200 rivals the Apache RTR 200 4V, KTM 200 Duke and the Honda Hornet 2.0.

Service and maintenance charge is normal, mileage is 50 - 55 kmpl on highway, 45-50 kmpl in cities and streets. Overall, it is a quite good bike with good performance and minimal costs. Everyday rides upto hundred kms can be done easily, I ride daily around 80 kms and it is very easy for me and it's a sports bike even with only 125 CC engine.Read More
Good 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 More
