Expert Verdict on Pulsar NS160

Design8
Engine8
Features8

The Bajaj Pulsar NS 160 is a decent sports bike that offers good performance and young looks. However, the lack of modern features and old design has now started to sting its sales. Rivals like the Apache RTR 160 4V offer a lot more than the NS 160 in terms of features. The only strong points to buy the Pulsar are the strong after-sales network of Bajaj & the redline performance of its engine.

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. It has fewer features as compared to rivals, and hence we suggest it to buyers who want a cheap, yet fast bike at this price.

Design & Comfort 8
  • The design of the Pulsar NS 160 is based on the bigger NS 200. It looks sharp and aggressive overall. The rear profile is a bit skinny due to the thinner tyre. But, the design is made to appeal to young buyers. The proportions of the bike are also well designed while the new colour options with graphics look better on the road.
  • In terms of comfort, the riding position of the NS 160 is decent for city riding. The handlebar is a bit forward set while the footpegs for the rider are a bit rear set. This combo gives a comfortable yet commanding riding posture. The seat cushioning is also enough and the rider can sit on the bike easily for a long duration.

    The primary rival to the Pulsar NS 160 is the newly updated TVS Apache RTR 160 4V. The Apache offers a very good build quality, more features, and a performance-oriented engine. It is more sporty to ride and the connected features make the riding experience a lot more better. Also, the dual-channel version of the Apache offers equally good safety as the Pulsar, on the road.

      Super Bike Experience
      Super bike, same with the Super Vibe app. It’s a very cute app where everyone—friends, family, and social media contacts—can connect and work together.

      Budget Performer
      This is a budget-friendly bike and a solid choice in the 160cc segment. It performs well in traffic and offers a comfortable riding experience. The torque is impressive, making it fun to ride. However, it comes with only a few features. Still, a great value for its price.
