The Pulsar lineup is the mainstay for Bajaj Auto in the two-wheeler segment, offering a wide variety of motorcycles including commuters, sports tourers, roadsters, and naked streetfighters. Over the last few months, Bajaj has constantly kept on updating the Pulsar lineup to keep prospective buyers hooked.
From small updates like new colour and addition of features, to brand new launches, the Bajaj Pulsar brand has found itself in the news quite frequently over the past year or so. And Bajaj continues to go along with the same strategy for the Pulsar series of bikes, offering more and more updates. Let us look at the latest updates brought by Bajaj into the Pulsar range.
Bajaj Pulsar N160: New variant with added features
The Chakan-based bikemaker has introduced a new top-spec variant of Pulsar N160 with more features up its sleeve. Priced at Rs 1,39,693 (ex-showroom), this new variant boasts of turn-by-turn navigation integrated into its Bluetooth-enabled instrument console. More significantly, the new top-of-the-line Pulsar N160 comes with champagne gold 33mm upside down forks.
This makes the N160 the second bike in the 150-160cc motorcycle segment after the Pulsar NS160 to offer USD forks .Another significant change is the inclusion of ABS ride modes including Rain, Road, and Off-road. The levels of ABS are optimised in each ride mode to deliver maximum control to the rider in different types of road conditions.
For instance, the Road mode is set as standard and is best suited for regular riding, be it in the city or on the highway. Rain mode is suitable for wet roads and ensures more confidence and stable braking on slippery surfaces. Off-Road mode is suitable for undulating terrain & road conditions and gives better control to the overall handling experience.
Powering the Pulsar N160 is a 164.82cc, single-cylinder, oil-cooled engine which is paired with a 5-speed gearbox. This motor is tuned to deliver 15.68 bhp and a peak torque of 14.65 Nm. Braking is taken care of by disc brakes at both ends, aided by dual-channel ABS as standard.
