Sporty Mid-Segment Performer

The Pulsar NS160 stands out with its sharp looks and responsive ride. I enjoy the strong mid-range performance, while the perimeter frame adds handling confidence. It comes with petal disc brakes on both wheels and a 5-speed gearbox, which makes gear shifting quick. The rear monoshock feels sporty and provides stability at higher speeds. Additionally, NS160 gives the rider options like self-start & kick, pass switch and 170 mm of ground clearance.
