Bajaj Pulsar NS160: what’s new

It gets three ABS modes

The ABS modes were earlier added to the updated RS200, and Bajaj has now updated the NS160 with the same. There is a new Mode button to toggle the three ABS modes (Rain, Road and Off-Road), which alter the ABS’ intervention.

This update has not brought along any aesthetic changes, and the Pulsar NS160 remains similarly styled as its elder sibling, the NS200. Although both motorcycles received a design and hardware update back in 2023, the updates were modest. The revisions included an upside-down front fork, a bigger 300mm front rotor, a gear position indicator and a distance to empty meter. All these changes were common between the NS160 and NS200.

Powering the Bajaj Pulsar NS160 is a 17.2hp, 14.6Nm, 160.3cc, oil-cooled single-cylinder engine that comes mated to a 5-speed gearbox.

While the updated NS160 has already made its way to dealerships, Bajaj hasn’t officially launched this update or announced any prices thus far. It remains to be seen if the brand gives the NS160 a slight price hike or keeps the price unchanged when it finally launches.
