Bajaj Pulsar NS160 to be launched in India soon
NS160 comes with new graphics around the fuel tank extensions, skinnier tyres and a drum brake unit at the rear.
The Bajaj Pulsar NS 160 along with some other Pulsar bikes were showcased at a dealers-only meet in Turkey last year. Now, Bajaj will soon introduce the Pulsar NS160 in India as it has already been spotted at several showrooms. Compared to the NS200, the NS160 comes with new graphics around the fuel tank extensions, skinnier tyres and a drum brake unit at the rear.
The engine does look to be based on the new 150cc BS-IV motor as seen on the new Pulsar 150 though it could be only clarified after riding the motorcycle. The Pulsar NS160 gets an oil-cooled engine unlike the air cooled engines that other motorcycles get in its competition which produces 15.5PS at 8500rpm and a peak torque of 14.6Nm at 6500rpm mated to a five speed gearbox. It weighs just 150 kgs which is exactly equal to the weight of the Suzuki Gixxer.
We expect the bike to be priced around Rs 85,000 (ex-showroom, Delhi) and will take the likes from already established bikes in the performance 150cc market like the Suzuki Gixxer, Yamaha FZ and Honda CB Hornet 160.
