The Bajaj Pulsar NS160 is gearing up for a significant update evident from recent sightings during testing. The spied images reveal a redesigned switchgear layout on the handlebar’s left side and the inclusion of a hazard light switch which would mark a first for the Pulsar range and this addition suggests that the upcoming bike will come equipped with hazard lights enhancing its safety features. Furthermore, there are strong indications that the new model will feature an LCD instrument console, and if enthusiasts are lucky, a TFT instrument console—a groundbreaking move that would make it the first bike in its segment to adopt this advanced technology.
In addition to these technological upgrades, there are speculations that the updated Bajaj Pulsar NS160 may incorporate connectivity features, possibly powered by “Bajaj Ride Connect” and this move aligns with the industry trend towards smart and connected motorcycles. Visual changes are also expected including a potential new LED headlight design with a redesigned cowl and LED indicators enhancing the bike’s overall aesthetic appeal.
While these updates promise to bring enhanced features and a modern look to the Bajaj Pulsar NS160, the core of the motorcycle is likely to remain unchanged. It will continue to be powered by the reliable 160.3cc, single-cylinder, air-/oil-cooled engine that produces 17.2PS of power and 14.6Nm of torque. The speculated changes in the updated model may come at a premium, estimated to be around Rs 6,000 over the current model’s Rs 1,36,736 (ex-showroom New Delhi) price tag.
The expected launch of the updated Bajaj Pulsar NS160 is in the coming months, creating anticipation and excitement among motorcycle enthusiasts. As the company aims to enhance the bike’s appeal with modern features and styling updates it is poised to continue its competition with other popular models in its segment including the Suzuki Gixxer, TVS Apache RTR 160 4V, Yamaha FZ-S Fi V4, and the Hero Xtreme 160R 4V. The motorcycle community eagerly awaits the official unveiling of the updated Bajaj Pulsar NS160 expecting it to make a strong statement in the competitive two-wheeler market.
