      It is a single-cylinder, 177.4cc engine with remarkable performance numbers. The engine has state-of-the-art features like the Ram-Air Assist (Roto Petal Disc) induction system and the TVS Racing-inspired O3C (Oil-Cooled Combustion Chamber).

      Its robust and powerful style befits its athletic character. It has a contoured fuel tank, aerodynamic body panels, and a sharp front fascia.

      Superbike for me. I am a college student and this bike is best for me. Maintenance cost is very low, hence it is under budget.

      Nice experience for this bike. I want to change the bike with Pulsar N160 Dual Channel ABS. I think this Pulsar N160 gives me best comfort for riding position and great performance with perfect BS6 engine. I think Bajaj has reduced the vibration from the bike so bike sound will also become good.
