The Bajaj Pulsar N160 is a wholesome pack that exudes purpose and practicality. The N160 can hit a top speed of 119 kmph and the vibration is well contained with comfortable cruising speed being 85-95 kmph. The 100/80-17 front and 130/70-17 rear tyres offer impressive grip levels and the MRF Zapper rubber suits the motorcycle pretty well while the clutch play is light and the gearbox responds to your commands with a slick attitude.Ĭompared to the N250, it doesn’t get a radial rear tyre to save cost but honestly you wouldn’t miss that and the overall build quality is on par with its rivals. The electric start function could be a little bit spontaneous as we found in the extreme downpour considering that silent start systems are the order of the day in many modern two-wheelers. The naked motorcycle also has side stand engine cut off function but you have to get used to pulling the stand and it doesn’t come in an instance. The size of the cluster could have been bigger and there’s a handy charging port to recharge your smartphone on the go.

With most of its rivals offering an all-digital cluster, Bajaj continues to provide the semi digital instrument in the N160 and it doesn’t get Bluetooth connectivity options as well. The footpegs are positioned for relaxed riding but you can get aggressive if wanted by tucking the knees on the recess of the fuel tank and ride in a committed manner. The flat handlebar setup and the slightly low-positioned seat help the N160 in being a nimble motorcycle and thus it is a peach to ride and flick about in city riding scenarios. The mid- and high-end performance deserves a big thumbs up and the fuelling is precise with immediate throttle response across the rev range. Although it’s down on power compared to the NS160, its refined characteristics and the power delivery should be appreciated. The new 164.8 cc oil-cooled 2V SOHC engine develops 16 PS and 14.7 Nm. The seat height of 795 mm and the ground clearance of 165 mm make the motorcycle easy to climb on and manoeuvre around on regular riding conditions without hassle. The good straight stability of the N160 comes courtesy of the new architecture and since the N160 is lighter than its bigger sibling by around ten kilograms, the cornering characteristics and the preciseness of where you position the motorcycle have also improved compared to the NS160. The combination of the new chassis, powertrain and brakes make the Pulsar N160 a force to be reckoned with in the segment. The Grimeca-soured 300 mm front disc and the 230 mm rear disc assisted by a dual-channel ABS are one of the main highlights of the motorcycle.ĭespite riding in the appalling, soaking-wet weather conditions prevailing during the monsoon, the ABS system fared quite spectacularly as it gave enough confidence to push the limits of the N160 a little bit further. It is supported by the 37 mm telescopic front forks and a monoshock rear suspension as they are not strictly tuned for sportiness but rather supple in nature suiting all riding conditions.
