The 2017 Bajaj Pulsar NS160 offers performance and handling dynamics that set a new benchmark in the 150-160cc sport biking category. It is targeted towards the motorcycle enthusiast who is looking for the perfect blend of performance, design and mileage.

The 2017 Bajaj Pulsar NS160 is powered by an oil Cooled, 4 valve, 160 cc DTS-i Engine. His motor produces 15.5 PS of power at 8500 rpm and a maximum torque of 14.6 NM at 6500 rpm.

Commenting on the launch of the new Pulsar NS160, Mr Eric Vas, President – Motorcycles, Bajaj Auto Ltd said “The new generation Pulsar NS160 offers a combination of raw power, aggressive styling and superior performance that no other bike in its segment can match. The bike is designed to cater to the young and dynamic motorcycle enthusiast who is evolved, restless and demands performance and style in his everyday riding routine.

Looks wise it is similar to its bigger brother the Pulsar NS200. It carries the same pure naked street fighter stance and gets premium dual tone styling. The only distinguishable change apart from the colour scheme is the 160 graphics. The bike is offered in three colour schemes – Passion Red, Saffire Blue, and Glossy Pewter Grey.

The Bajaj Pulsar NS160 is built on a steel rigid perimeter frame that provides significantly superior handling dynamics as compared to regular framed bikes. Stopping power comes from a 240 mm disc brake at front and 130 mm drum brake at the rear.
