Bajaj Pulsar N150 vs Pulsar N160 Drag Race

Bajaj has recently launched the Pulsar N150 in our market which draws inspiration from the N160 and P150.

This motorcycle is primarily designed for commuting but incorporates elements of sportiness in its design. The current market dominance of the N160, which holds a 45% market share, serves as inspiration for the N150. The N150 is offered in three appealing colours – Metallic Pearl White, Ebony Black, and Racing Red, with the introduction of a sky blue colour option planned for the future. Let us take a look at the details of the drag race between these two bikes.

What We Think

Recently, YouTubers have embraced a popular trend of using drag races as a means to evaluate and compare the performance of various motorcycles. However, it’s important to acknowledge that relying solely on drag races for these evaluations may not be the most prudent approach. The concern arises from the fact that drag races can potentially cause lasting damage to motorcycles, as most bikes are not designed for continuous high-speed, straight-line runs. Therefore, we strongly discourage attempting drag races with your own motorcycles. In reality, the majority of riders do not operate their bikes in such an extreme manner due to safety considerations and the potential risk of causing harm to both themselves and their vehicles.
