All-New Bajaj Pulsar NS160 Unleashed [Update]

# Update: The dealer meet was conducted by Bajaj Autos in Turkey to gauge the response of the dealers and prospective buyers for the all-new Pulsar NS160.

Bajaj Auto recently shocked everyone at a dealer meeting in Turkey by showcasing a new product in the NS lineup. Bajaj Pulsar NS160, as the product has been named, is based on the design of the popular NS200 and uses a modified version of Bajaj’s most powerful 150cc engine. It would be launched in 2017 but there has been no hint for the time around which it would enter the country.

All-New Bajaj Pulsar NS160 Unleashed!

The motorcycle will clearly rival Honda CB Hornet 160R, TVS Apache RTR 160 and Suzuki Gixxer 155. Pulsar NS160 would share the same frame as Pulsar NS200 and RS200. From the visual similarities, it can even be said that the same frame underpins the Dominar 400 and would be the best one around its segment. Pulsar NS160 carries dual tone shades, minimal fairing around the headlight and fuel tank, underbelly exhaust and the same digital-analogue unit as being used in the flagship Pulsar RS200. It can get a genuine price tag of below INR 80,000 for India.

The front uses regular telescopic forks, 240 mm disc brake and halogen headlight while the rear comes with mono-shock suspension, LED taillight and 100/90-17 MRF Zapper rear tyre. The motorcycle comes with both electric as well as kick start option. The alloy wheel design even remains the same as bigger Pulsar NS200 Fi. It would be one of the best option for Pulsar fans as the oil cooled, 160cc motor would definitely produce class leading performance figures due to low kerb weight while its styling is nothing less than a premium street fighter for India.

• Expected Price – INR 78,000
