New Pulsar N160 Variant Launched by Bajaj for the Indian Market

Bajaj Auto has launched a new Pulsar N160 variant that adds small yet meaningful upgrades for daily commuting. The highlight additions include upside-down front forks and a single-piece seat that offer a different riding feel compared to the existing trims. Moreover, this variant sits between the other models in the lineup, therefore giving riders a balanced choice with upgraded comfort at a mid-level price point. 

New Variant Launched

Bajaj has introduced this updated Pulsar N160 with USD front forks and a single-piece seat. The motorcycle is priced at Rs 1.23 - 1.37 Lakh, ex-showroom Delhi, therefore placing it between the other variants. The graphics also get slight changes which help the bike look fresher on the road. 

Features and Updates

The upside-down forks are expected to offer better handling along with smoother movement on rough surfaces. Moreover, the single-piece seat may feel roomier than the split-seat layout available on the other trims. Bajaj will offer this new model in four colours including Pearl Metallic White, Racing Red, Polar Sky Blue and Black. 

Engine and Equipment

The engine remains unchanged because the bike continues using a 164.82cc oil-cooled motor producing 15.68 bhp and 14.65 Nm. The unit works with a five-speed gearbox for easy power delivery. Moreover, braking is managed by disc brakes at both ends along with dual-channel ABS. The semi-digital console shows all key information, while the top trim also offers Bluetooth features, ride modes and a tank-mounted USB charger. 

Market Position

The Bajaj Pulsar N160 continues to compete with the TVS Apache RTR 160 4V, Suzuki Gixxer, Yamaha FZ series and Hero Xtreme 160 4V. These models remain strong choices in the popular 160cc commuter segment.
