The 2022 Bajaj Pulsar N160 draws power from the 164.82 cc single-cylinder, air-cooled engine with 15.7 bhp on offer

The big change on the new Bajaj Pulsar N160, of course, is the smaller displacement motor. The bike draws power from the 164.82 cc single-cylinder, air-cooled engine that develops 15.7 bhp at 8,750 rpm and 14.65 Nm of peak torque at 6,750 rpm. That's 1bhp less than the Pulsar NS160, a model which this is likely to replace. Suspension duties are handled by telescopic forks at the front and a monoshock at the rear, while the Pulsar N160 get disc brakes at either end while riding on 17-inch alloy wheels and runs the same 100/80 section front and 130/70 section rear tyre sizes. The bike comes with a semi-digital instrument console similar to the N250 as well as USB connectivity.

The new Bajaj Pulsar N160 gets a 14-litre fuel tank, while the kerb weight is said to be 154 kg. Bajaj is offering the Pulsar N160 in three colours – Racing Red, Techno grey and Caribbean Blue – on the single-channel ABS version. The dual-channel ABS version is only available with the Brooklyn Black paint scheme. The model arrives in a competitive space that already has some excellent offerings like the TVS Apache RTR 160 4V, Hero Xtreme 160R as well as the Suzuki Gixxer.
