Bajaj Pulsar NS160

The Bajaj Pulsar NS160 is a streetfighter-style commuter, for riders who want sharp styling and engaging performance in the 160cc segment. What makes it popular, is its aggressive NS design language and strong mid-range performance, while also offering a perimeter frame and refined engine. The overall package feels sporty yet practical enough for daily commuting. That said, its feature list is functional rather than cutting-edge, and some rivals offer more modern tech. The NS160 makes the most sense for riders looking for a balanced mix of performance, handling and everyday usability without stretching their budget too far.

Bajaj Pulsar NS160 Latest Update

Last Updated On 4th Apr'25: The Bajaj Pulsar NS 160 has recently received an upgrade this year. As part of the update, it has got three new riding modes: road, rain, and off-road mode, while the prices have been revised, now priced at Rs 1.48 lakh (ex-showroom). Moreover, feature-wise, it continues to offer Bluetooth connectivity, turn-by-turn navigation, dual-channel ABS, a digital instrument console with distance-to-empty display, gear shift indicator, and other details, USD front forks, LED lighting, a USB charging port, and more.

The NS160 got an upgrade earlier this year, and as part of that, it got a new LED headlamp, digital cluster with bluetooth connectivity, navigation, gear position indicator, while USD forks and dual-channel ABS were already on offer. At Rs 1.47 lakh, it costs substantially more than the Apache RTR 1604V and the Xtreme 160R.

Features

The Pulsar NS160 feels like a motorcycle built around chassis confidence rather than outright spec-sheet drama. The perimeter frame and suspension setup give it a planted, mature feel in corners, something that still sets it apart in the 160cc space. The engine isn’t explosive at the top end, but its mid-range is usable and responsive, making city riding effortless and highway overtakes predictable.Where it slightly falls short is in feature aggression, rivals now offer more contemporary tech. But if your priority is ride feel, stability and a no-nonsense sporty character, the NS160 still holds its ground strongly.

Should I buy the Pulsar NS160?

The Bajaj Pulsar NS 160 is a fast commuter-cum-sports bike that offers a good combination of power & looks. The design is striking, and the road presence is also good. Also, with its rich redline performance, the engine of it is fuel-efficient as well. Meanwhile, the comfortable riding position is easy to ride within the city.
