Overview

Introducing the 2022 Bajaj Pulsar NS160, a standout contender in the all-rounder motorcycle category that artfully blends performance, style, and practicality. Designed for both urban commuting and spirited weekend rides, the Pulsar NS160 brings to the table an impressive combination of agility and power, making it an attractive choice for riders seeking a versatile machine. With its bold aesthetics and sporty stance, the Pulsar NS160 captures the essence of what a modern motorcycle should embody, resonating with enthusiasts and everyday riders alike. At the heart of the Pulsar NS160 lies a dynamic 160.3 ccm digital triple spark engine that churns out a spirited 17.0 horsepower at 9000 RPM and a torque of 14.6 Nm at 7250 RPM. This engine is not only powerful but also engineered for efficiency, thanks to its advanced DTS-i Fuel Injection system that optimizes performance while ensuring smoother throttle response. Riders will appreciate the bike's nimble handling and responsive acceleration, making it adept at navigating through city traffic or opening up on twisty backroads. The oil and air cooling system keeps temperatures in check, while the pressed steel perimeter frame ensures stability and confidence at higher speeds. Equipped with a range of features that enhance both safety and comfort, the Pulsar NS160 is designed for the discerning rider. The bike features a robust braking system with a single disc and ABS up front, providing reliable stopping power with a 260mm diameter that promotes confidence during sudden stops. The rear disc brake, measuring 230mm, complements the front for a balanced braking experience. The suspension system is equally impressive, with a telescopic front and a Nitrox mono shock absorber at the rear, ensuring a smooth ride over varying terrains. Additional conveniences like an electric starter and a generous fuel capacity of 12 liters allow for longer rides without frequent refueling. **

  • Advanced Safety Features: Equipped with ABS and disc brakes, the Pulsar NS160 offers enhanced braking performance for added safety.
  • Comfortable Ride Quality: The well-tuned suspension system ensures a smooth and comfortable ride over diverse road conditions.
