The new Bajaj Pulsar NS 160 sits above the Pulsar 150 and alongside the AS150 in BAL’s product portfolio. The Pulsar NS160 is almost an AS150, but without the front fairing and with a slightly bigger engine. It maybe noted that 160cc has always been among the most lucrative market segments. Hence, the Pulsar NS 160 just might prove to be hugely beneficial for BAL. A new Pulsar model that looks almost like the 200NS and yet, has a higher fuel mileage and a lower- exactly what the doc ordered, no?

Bajaj Pulsar NS160 Design and Styling

The new Bajaj Pulsar NS 160 looks bold and aggressive. The NS160 gets large cowls for its fuel tank. This give it a very sporty and masculine look. The engine and the alloys are painted black, which give the NS160 a slightly rugged touch. The new Pulsar gets dual hydraulic telescopic suspension at front while a mono-shock suspension at the rear. The split seats have a large seating area for comfortable ride. The bike gets split grab rails. There are stylish turn indicators. The tail lamps are familiar split lamps that we see on new generation Pulsars.

The fuel lid also seems inspired by the Pulsar 200 NS with a similar Aluminum finish aircraft-type lid. The instrument cluster again reminds you of the 200 NS. The instrument panel sports a large analogue tachometer, a digital speedometer with fuel and temperature gauge. It also houses some warning lamps and trip meters, odo-meters build it. The handle bar is also sporty and has clip on-style handle bars. The drive chain is covered only from top. This gives it a more stylish visual appeal. The Aluminum-finished side foot-pegs and levers have a premium and sporty look.
