With its aggressive styling, advanced features, and robust engineering, this model stands out in the highly competitive segment of mid-range motorcycles, appealing to both new riders and seasoned enthusiasts alike. At the heart of the Pulsar N160 lies a 164.8 ccm digital triple spark engine that churns out an impressive 15.7 horsepower at 8750 RPM and a torque of 14.6 Nm at 6750 RPM. This powerplant is paired with a smooth 5-speed gearbox that provides a satisfying riding experience whether you're navigating city traffic or cruising on open highways.

With both front and rear disc brakes equipped with ABS, riders can expect superior stopping power and stability in various conditions. The bike features a pressed steel perimeter frame that offers a solid foundation, while the front telescopic suspension with anti-friction bush and rear Nitrox mono shock absorber with canister provide a comfortable ride over diverse terrains. The electric starter is a welcome addition, ensuring that getting on the road is as effortless as possible. Riders can also choose from two eye-catching colors: Brooklyn Black and Caribbean Blue, adding a touch of personality to their ride. **
