  • Bajaj pulsar n160 honest review

    2 years ago


    Bidyut

    The all-new bajaj pulsar n160 is a motorcycle which bajaj auto says will become the entry point into the premium sports segment, although it's still a premium commuter in the 160 cc segment. The pulsar n160 will share the bajaj auto line-up with the pulsar ns160 launched five years ago. The pulsar n160 has nothing in common with the pulsar ns160, and is built around a new engine, new frame, new gearbox and an edgy new design shared with its bigger sibling the bajaj pulsar n250. With the new pulsar n160, bajaj hopes to take the fight to established rivals in the segment.
    Design & features
    The design of the pulsar n160 is familiar, almost identical to the bigger pulsar n250. Up front is the aggressive, and futuristic face, with led drls and projector headlamps, and the small bikini fairing flanking the fuel tank. The split seat is wide and is nicely padded for comfort; it also has a low height to suit riders of different heights and build. The part analogue, part digital speedometer console may look a generation or two old, but it offers all necessary read-outs, including distance to empty and a gear position indicator. The top of the fuel tank also sports a handy usb charging port.
    Engine & performance
    The new 165 cc engine cranks up with a bassy note from the underbelly exhaust. The single-cylinder, two-valve air and oil-cooled unit puts out 15.8 bhp at 8,750 rpm and 14.7 nm of peak torque at 6,500 rpm. The new engine is smooth, probably the smoothest in any entry-level pulsar ever! gear shifts are slick and precise, and the 5-speed transmission complements the engine's refinement. There's enough low- and mid-range grunt to keep things interesting in traffic, and the spread of torque of the engine is nice and wide, so there's plenty of shove till the mid-range.Acceleration in city speeds is quite impressive, and the pulsar n160 will get to 70-75 kmph effortlessly, and actually impresses with the engine's refinement and the smooth-shifting gearbox. The riding position also is fairly upright and comfortable, with slightly rear-set footpegs. Coupled with its relatively light kerb weight of 154 kg, refined performance and agility, it's an impressive motorcycle while filtering through traffic. Low and mid-range grunt is adequate and more, the gears slick and precise, and the free-revving unit complements the meaty exhaust note.According to bajaj, the pulsar n160 is the fastest in the 160 cc segment in the 3rd, 4th and 5th gear from 30-70 kmph. With my 75 kg body weight, it reaches the ton and holds it quite nicely too, but if you're looking for top-end performance, that is an area where the pulsar n160 leaves you wanting more. Sure, it will hold 100 kmph, and will go slightly beyond when prodded, but 75-100 kmph acceleration is a little lethargic, if top-end performance is what you seek, although being a 160 cc premium commuter, there will seldom be many takers looking for outright top-end performance.
    Ride & handling
    And when the going gets rough, the pulsar n160 can take on everything in its stride, broken roads, potholes, speedbreakers, quite effortlessly. The pulsar n160 is the only motorcycle in its segment to offer dual-channel abs in the top-spec variant. It also gets 37 mm telescopic front forks, and a bigger 300 mm front disc. The single-channel variant gets 31 mm front forks and a smaller 280 mm front disc. The wide tyres (100 mm front, and 130 mm rear) on the 17-inch wheels offer more than adequate grip, even in the wet. Braking performance from the dual-channel abs is superb, and the pulsar n160's handling and ride quality certainly leaves a very positive impression. The road-oriented tyres only lose some traction when you decide to venture off tarmac, and into the wet grass and mud. But if you're going to be primarily using it in the urban jungle, the n160 is light on its feet, has great road manners and is a delight, with its grunty and refined engine. The only negative i could think of is the slightly wide turning radius.
    Variants & pricing
    The bajaj pulsar n160 is available in two-variants, with the single-channel variant priced at around rs. 1.23 lakh (ex-showroom), while the top-spec, dual-channel abs variant is priced at rs. 1.28 lakh (ex-showroom). At those prices, the pulsar n160 competes with the likes of the tvs apache rtr 160 4v, the suzuki gixxer and the hero xtreme 160r, but offers the only motorcycle in the segment with dual-channel abs. It's offered in four choice of colours, brooklyn black, racing red, caribbean blue and techno grey.
    Verdict
    The bajaj pulsar n160 certainly makes an impression. It handles well, ride quality is very good, brakes are superb, and the engine offers a level of refinement not seen in any entry-level pulsar till the pulsar 250s. For anyone looking for a motorcycle in the 150-160 cc segment, the new pulsar n160 should certainly be on the list of considerations. Yes, it may not have a feature-rich digital instrument console, or may not wow you with top-end performance, but the new pulsar n160 makes for a well-rounded and refined package in the premium commuter segment, and now has all the qualities to take the fight to the very best in its segment.

  • N160 other bikes .Read this before buying

    1 year ago


    Pulkesh

    Go for this bike without any second thought if you're considering buying this bike, you won't regret it. Why?? let me explain..
    Let's start with buying experience -
    The buying experience was good, took a test ride of this bike and instantly fell in love with it. Got this bike on the same day ....Blah blah ... Buying experience is the same for every brand, and for bajaj it was also good.
    Now as for riding experience, it is unmatchable, i was considering buying apache 1604v or yamaha fzs , took test rides of both, and they were good, but the engine refinement of n160 was too notch, its sitting position, your posture while riding, your control over the bike and most impressive exhaust sound is unmatchable, unlike apache with not that good sitting posture. I purchased this bike for daily use, and trust me I do not regret my decision, pulsar n160 is fun to ride unlike any other bike I took a test ride of in this segment.
    Now as for the looks, you can see it in the images and can assume how good this bike looks in comparison to its rivals, it's brooklyn black colour is just too good. Everywhere I go on this bike, not a single person asked/criticized this bike , they all said "badhiya lag rahi hai yaar bike ye ", "kitne ki padegi hume ye bike??" , trust me this bike is an eye turner if you're in college, you won't go unnoticed.
    Its performance is also top-notch, perfectly balanced, handles well on all rpm range, and goes upto 110kmph(this is how fast I could run it, till now) but top speed does not matter if you ask me as you won't be riding on 120-130kmph in your city every time. So, what matters is the mid-range of the bike, it goes upto 80kmph very quickly, so you won't feel that bike is slow, above 100kmph speed increases slowly but as I said that doesn't matter as you won't be always riding above 100 all time, also n169 handles throughout rpm , no issues with that.
    As for mileage, now this is a rollercoaster .. It runs for 55-56kmpl if you ride near 50-60kmph at constantly, without shifting gears too much, and can also give mileage as low as 35kmph on harsh riding.
    Servicing and maintenance are not expensive, around 800 on the first service, and around 1200 on the second service (due to oil change), in short, it is affordable.
    Pros -
    1- fun to ride
    2- handles well
    3- good mileage
    4-speeds up quickly upto 80kmph
    5 aggressive looking, beautiful bike
    6- has a smartphone charging port for emergency purposes.
    7- dual channel abs, ( no worries about braking at any speed, you won't crash or lose control of the bike)
    8- premium quality seat
    9- engine refinement is good
    10- exhaust sound is also good to hear
    Cons-
    1. Plastic body parts on some areas(will get damaged a lot if crashed )
    2. Need frequent cleaning to look good
    Now as for conclusion, if you ask me, I would suggest you to go for this bike if you are a college student or need a good-looking/performing bike for daily purpose, just go for it...

    Ride at constant speed if you want to get maximum mileage. Get a seat cover as the seat catches dust a lot.

  • Awesome bike

    2 years ago


    Abhishek Kumar

    This is the best bike in this particular segment. If you are 7" you can easily ride this. No doubt this is heavy but while riding this gives perfect balance. Breaking is awesome. This is a 2v machine so don't compare it to rtr 4v in speeding. Overall this is a nice machine to daily ride. Fully happy to purchase.

  • The complete all rounder

    1 year ago


    Yash Mishra

    To start things off, the riding experience of this bike is next level. The engine is so refined that you don't feel any vibrations in the bike unless you are redlining. The overall performance is very good, it feels punchy in the city and stable on the highway, cruising at 100kmph is no problem at all.

    Tips for other riders

    Use a Tank pad, that tank is metal and once its scratched replacing it will be costly. Also the chain makes a loud clicking noise after jumping a bump, just ignore it not a big issue, however it is annoying.

  • N160 beast

    38 weeks ago


    Kandimalla Hareesh

    Pulsar N160 is a popular choice among users for its combination of performance, agility, and affordability. Users often praise its powerful engine, nimble handling, and comfortable riding position. However, some have noted issues with its build quality and occasional maintenance requirements. Overall, it's considered a solid option for those seeking a sporty and versatile ride.
    The mileage of the Pulsar N160 can vary depending on various factors such as riding conditions, terrain, traffic, and individual riding style. Here's a general breakdown:
    1. City Riding: In typical city commuting conditions with frequent starts and stops, the Pulsar N160 can deliver a mileage of around 45-50 km/liter. This figure may vary slightly based on factors like traffic congestion and throttle usage.
    2. Highway Riding: On open highways with steady cruising speeds, the mileage of the N160 can improve, ranging from 50-55 km/liter. Maintaining a consistent speed and avoiding aggressive acceleration can help optimize fuel efficiency during highway rides.
    3. Aggressive Riding: If ridden aggressively with frequent acceleration and high-speed maneuvers, the mileage of the N160 may drop significantly. In such cases, riders can expect a mileage closer to the lower end of the spectrum, around 40-45 km/liter.
    4. Mixed Riding Conditions: For riders who encounter a mix of city streets, highways, and occasional rough roads, the mileage may vary accordingly. Typically, the Pulsar N160 can deliver an average mileage of approximately 45-50 km/liter under mixed riding conditions.
    It's important to note that individual riding habits, maintenance practices, and bike conditions can also influence fuel efficiency. Regular servicing, proper tire inflation, and smooth throttle control can contribute to maximizing the mileage of the Pulsar N160 across different riding situations.

    Overall performance is good, but the price is quite high, according to the given features. Bajaj should change its models. Every ns and n model looks like same. Also, exhaust sound should be improved which will attract more crowd towards the Bajaj bikes.

    Shyamendra Verma

    It looks like an amazing bike in its segment. The best part is its look. Apart from the performance seat comfort of this bike is very good. Its projector-led light of headlight makes it more special. City mileage of 50 kmpl in this segment is really phenomenal. It will not hamper your budget as its mileage is very good.

    1- fun to ride
    2- handles well
    3- good mileage
    4-speeds up quickly upto 80kmph
    5 aggressive looking, beautiful bike
    6- has a smartphone charging port for emergency purposes.
    7- dual channel abs, ( no worries about braking at any speed, you won't crash or lose control of the bike)
    8- premium quality seat
    9- engine refinement is good
    10- exhaust sound is also good to hear
    Cons-
    1. Plastic body parts on some areas(will get damaged a lot if crashed )
    2. Need frequent cleaning to look good
    Now as for conclusion, if you ask me, I would suggest you to go for this bike if you are a college student or need a good-looking/performing bike for daily purpose, just go for it...

    Abhishek Kumar

    This is the best bike in this particular segment. If you are 7" you can easily ride this. No doubt this is heavy but while riding this gives perfect balance. Breaking is awesome. This is a 2v machine so don't compare it to rtr 4v in speeding. Overall this is a nice machine to daily ride. Fully happy to purchase.

    Yash Mishra

    To start things off, the riding experience of this bike is next level. The engine is so refined that you don't feel any vibrations in the bike unless you are redlining. The overall performance is very good, it feels punchy in the city and stable on the highway, cruising at 100kmph is no problem at all.

    Use a Tank pad, that tank is metal and once its scratched replacing it will be costly. Also the chain makes a loud clicking noise after jumping a bump, just ignore it not a big issue, however it is annoying.

  • N160 beast

    38 weeks ago


    Kandimalla Hareesh

    Pulsar N160 is a popular choice among users for its combination of performance, agility, and affordability. Users often praise its powerful engine, nimble handling, and comfortable riding position. However, some have noted issues with its build quality and occasional maintenance requirements. Overall, it's considered a solid option for those seeking a sporty and versatile ride.
    The mileage of the Pulsar N160 can vary depending on various factors such as riding conditions, terrain, traffic, and individual riding style. Here's a general breakdown:
    1. City Riding: In typical city commuting conditions with frequent starts and stops, the Pulsar N160 can deliver a mileage of around 45-50 km/liter. This figure may vary slightly based on factors like traffic congestion and throttle usage.
    2. Highway Riding: On open highways with steady cruising speeds, the mileage of the N160 can improve, ranging from 50-55 km/liter. Maintaining a consistent speed and avoiding aggressive acceleration can help optimize fuel efficiency during highway rides.
    3. Aggressive Riding: If ridden aggressively with frequent acceleration and high-speed maneuvers, the mileage of the N160 may drop significantly. In such cases, riders can expect a mileage closer to the lower end of the spectrum, around 40-45 km/liter.
    4. Mixed Riding Conditions: For riders who encounter a mix of city streets, highways, and occasional rough roads, the mileage may vary accordingly. Typically, the Pulsar N160 can deliver an average mileage of approximately 45-50 km/liter under mixed riding conditions.
    It's important to note that individual riding habits, maintenance practices, and bike conditions can also influence fuel efficiency. Regular servicing, proper tire inflation, and smooth throttle control can contribute to maximizing the mileage of the Pulsar N160 across different riding situations.

    Overall performance is good, but the price is quite high, according to the given features. Bajaj should change its models. Every ns and n model looks like same. Also, exhaust sound should be improved which will attract more crowd towards the Bajaj bikes.

    It looks like an amazing bike in its segment. The best part is its look. Apart from the performance seat comfort of this bike is very good. Its projector-led light of headlight makes it more special. City mileage of 50 kmpl in this segment is really phenomenal. It will not hamper your budget as its mileage is very good.

  • Bajaj pulsar n160 honest review

    2 years ago


    Bidyut

    The all-new bajaj pulsar n160 is a motorcycle which bajaj auto says will become the entry point into the premium sports segment, although it's still a premium commuter in the 160 cc segment. The pulsar n160 will share the bajaj auto line-up with the pulsar ns160 launched five years ago. The pulsar n160 has nothing in common with the pulsar ns160, and is built around a new engine, new frame, new gearbox and an edgy new design shared with its bigger sibling the bajaj pulsar n250. With the new pulsar n160, bajaj hopes to take the fight to established rivals in the segment.
    Design & features
    The design of the pulsar n160 is familiar, almost identical to the bigger pulsar n250. Up front is the aggressive, and futuristic face, with led drls and projector headlamps, and the small bikini fairing flanking the fuel tank. The split seat is wide and is nicely padded for comfort; it also has a low height to suit riders of different heights and build. The part analogue, part digital speedometer console may look a generation or two old, but it offers all necessary read-outs, including distance to empty and a gear position indicator. The top of the fuel tank also sports a handy usb charging port.
    Engine & performance
    The new 165 cc engine cranks up with a bassy note from the underbelly exhaust. The single-cylinder, two-valve air and oil-cooled unit puts out 15.8 bhp at 8,750 rpm and 14.7 nm of peak torque at 6,500 rpm. The new engine is smooth, probably the smoothest in any entry-level pulsar ever! gear shifts are slick and precise, and the 5-speed transmission complements the engine's refinement. There's enough low- and mid-range grunt to keep things interesting in traffic, and the spread of torque of the engine is nice and wide, so there's plenty of shove till the mid-range.Acceleration in city speeds is quite impressive, and the pulsar n160 will get to 70-75 kmph effortlessly, and actually impresses with the engine's refinement and the smooth-shifting gearbox. The riding position also is fairly upright and comfortable, with slightly rear-set footpegs. Coupled with its relatively light kerb weight of 154 kg, refined performance and agility, it's an impressive motorcycle while filtering through traffic. Low and mid-range grunt is adequate and more, the gears slick and precise, and the free-revving unit complements the meaty exhaust note.According to bajaj, the pulsar n160 is the fastest in the 160 cc segment in the 3rd, 4th and 5th gear from 30-70 kmph. With my 75 kg body weight, it reaches the ton and holds it quite nicely too, but if you're looking for top-end performance, that is an area where the pulsar n160 leaves you wanting more. Sure, it will hold 100 kmph, and will go slightly beyond when prodded, but 75-100 kmph acceleration is a little lethargic, if top-end performance is what you seek, although being a 160 cc premium commuter, there will seldom be many takers looking for outright top-end performance.
    Ride & handling
    And when the going gets rough, the pulsar n160 can take on everything in its stride, broken roads, potholes, speedbreakers, quite effortlessly. The pulsar n160 is the only motorcycle in its segment to offer dual-channel abs in the top-spec variant. It also gets 37 mm telescopic front forks, and a bigger 300 mm front disc. The single-channel variant gets 31 mm front forks and a smaller 280 mm front disc. The wide tyres (100 mm front, and 130 mm rear) on the 17-inch wheels offer more than adequate grip, even in the wet. Braking performance from the dual-channel abs is superb, and the pulsar n160's handling and ride quality certainly leaves a very positive impression. The road-oriented tyres only lose some traction when you decide to venture off tarmac, and into the wet grass and mud. But if you're going to be primarily using it in the urban jungle, the n160 is light on its feet, has great road manners and is a delight, with its grunty and refined engine. The only negative i could think of is the slightly wide turning radius.
    Variants & pricing
    The bajaj pulsar n160 is available in two-variants, with the single-channel variant priced at around rs. 1.23 lakh (ex-showroom), while the top-spec, dual-channel abs variant is priced at rs. 1.28 lakh (ex-showroom). At those prices, the pulsar n160 competes with the likes of the tvs apache rtr 160 4v, the suzuki gixxer and the hero xtreme 160r, but offers the only motorcycle in the segment with dual-channel abs. It's offered in four choice of colours, brooklyn black, racing red, caribbean blue and techno grey.
    Verdict
    The bajaj pulsar n160 certainly makes an impression. It handles well, ride quality is very good, brakes are superb, and the engine offers a level of refinement not seen in any entry-level pulsar till the pulsar 250s. For anyone looking for a motorcycle in the 150-160 cc segment, the new pulsar n160 should certainly be on the list of considerations. Yes, it may not have a feature-rich digital instrument console, or may not wow you with top-end performance, but the new pulsar n160 makes for a well-rounded and refined package in the premium commuter segment, and now has all the qualities to take the fight to the very best in its segment.

  • N160 other bikes .Read this before buying

    1 year ago


    Pulkesh

    Go for this bike without any second thought if you're considering buying this bike, you won't regret it. Why?? let me explain..
    Let's start with buying experience -
    The buying experience was good, took a test ride of this bike and instantly fell in love with it. Got this bike on the same day ....Blah blah ... Buying experience is the same for every brand, and for bajaj it was also good.
    Now as for riding experience, it is unmatchable, i was considering buying apache 1604v or yamaha fzs , took test rides of both, and they were good, but the engine refinement of n160 was too notch, its sitting position, your posture while riding, your control over the bike and most impressive exhaust sound is unmatchable, unlike apache with not that good sitting posture. I purchased this bike for daily use, and trust me I do not regret my decision, pulsar n160 is fun to ride unlike any other bike I took a test ride of in this segment.
    Now as for the looks, you can see it in the images and can assume how good this bike looks in comparison to its rivals, it's brooklyn black colour is just too good. Everywhere I go on this bike, not a single person asked/criticized this bike , they all said "badhiya lag rahi hai yaar bike ye ", "kitne ki padegi hume ye bike??" , trust me this bike is an eye turner if you're in college, you won't go unnoticed.
    Its performance is also top-notch, perfectly balanced, handles well on all rpm range, and goes upto 110kmph(this is how fast I could run it, till now) but top speed does not matter if you ask me as you won't be riding on 120-130kmph in your city every time. So, what matters is the mid-range of the bike, it goes upto 80kmph very quickly, so you won't feel that bike is slow, above 100kmph speed increases slowly but as I said that doesn't matter as you won't be always riding above 100 all time, also n169 handles throughout rpm , no issues with that.
    As for mileage, now this is a rollercoaster .. It runs for 55-56kmpl if you ride near 50-60kmph at constantly, without shifting gears too much, and can also give mileage as low as 35kmph on harsh riding.
    Servicing and maintenance are not expensive, around 800 on the first service, and around 1200 on the second service (due to oil change), in short, it is affordable.
    Pros -
    1- fun to ride
    2- handles well
    3- good mileage
    4-speeds up quickly upto 80kmph
    5 aggressive looking, beautiful bike
    6- has a smartphone charging port for emergency purposes.
    7- dual channel abs, ( no worries about braking at any speed, you won't crash or lose control of the bike)
    8- premium quality seat
    9- engine refinement is good
    10- exhaust sound is also good to hear
    Cons-
    1. Plastic body parts on some areas(will get damaged a lot if crashed )
    2. Need frequent cleaning to look good
    Now as for conclusion, if you ask me, I would suggest you to go for this bike if you are a college student or need a good-looking/performing bike for daily purpose, just go for it...

  • Bajaj pulsar n160 honest review

    2 years ago


    Bidyut

    The all-new bajaj pulsar n160 is a motorcycle which bajaj auto says will become the entry point into the premium sports segment, although it's still a premium commuter in the 160 cc segment. The pulsar n160 will share the bajaj auto line-up with the pulsar ns160 launched five years ago. The pulsar n160 has nothing in common with the pulsar ns160, and is built around a new engine, new frame, new gearbox and an edgy new design shared with its bigger sibling the bajaj pulsar n250. With the new pulsar n160, bajaj hopes to take the fight to established rivals in the segment.
    Design & features
    The design of the pulsar n160 is familiar, almost identical to the bigger pulsar n250. Up front is the aggressive, and futuristic face, with led drls and projector headlamps, and the small bikini fairing flanking the fuel tank. The split seat is wide and is nicely padded for comfort; it also has a low height to suit riders of different heights and build. The part analogue, part digital speedometer console may look a generation or two old, but it offers all necessary read-outs, including distance to empty and a gear position indicator. The top of the fuel tank also sports a handy usb charging port.
    Engine & performance
    The new 165 cc engine cranks up with a bassy note from the underbelly exhaust. The single-cylinder, two-valve air and oil-cooled unit puts out 15.8 bhp at 8,750 rpm and 14.7 nm of peak torque at 6,500 rpm. The new engine is smooth, probably the smoothest in any entry-level pulsar ever! gear shifts are slick and precise, and the 5-speed transmission complements the engine's refinement. There's enough low- and mid-range grunt to keep things interesting in traffic, and the spread of torque of the engine is nice and wide, so there's plenty of shove till the mid-range.Acceleration in city speeds is quite impressive, and the pulsar n160 will get to 70-75 kmph effortlessly, and actually impresses with the engine's refinement and the smooth-shifting gearbox. The riding position also is fairly upright and comfortable, with slightly rear-set footpegs. Coupled with its relatively light kerb weight of 154 kg, refined performance and agility, it's an impressive motorcycle while filtering through traffic. Low and mid-range grunt is adequate and more, the gears slick and precise, and the free-revving unit complements the meaty exhaust note.According to bajaj, the pulsar n160 is the fastest in the 160 cc segment in the 3rd, 4th and 5th gear from 30-70 kmph. With my 75 kg body weight, it reaches the ton and holds it quite nicely too, but if you're looking for top-end performance, that is an area where the pulsar n160 leaves you wanting more. Sure, it will hold 100 kmph, and will go slightly beyond when prodded, but 75-100 kmph acceleration is a little lethargic, if top-end performance is what you seek, although being a 160 cc premium commuter, there will seldom be many takers looking for outright top-end performance.
    Ride & handling
    And when the going gets rough, the pulsar n160 can take on everything in its stride, broken roads, potholes, speedbreakers, quite effortlessly. The pulsar n160 is the only motorcycle in its segment to offer dual-channel abs in the top-spec variant. It also gets 37 mm telescopic front forks, and a bigger 300 mm front disc. The single-channel variant gets 31 mm front forks and a smaller 280 mm front disc. The wide tyres (100 mm front, and 130 mm rear) on the 17-inch wheels offer more than adequate grip, even in the wet. Braking performance from the dual-channel abs is superb, and the pulsar n160's handling and ride quality certainly leaves a very positive impression. The road-oriented tyres only lose some traction when you decide to venture off tarmac, and into the wet grass and mud. But if you're going to be primarily using it in the urban jungle, the n160 is light on its feet, has great road manners and is a delight, with its grunty and refined engine. The only negative i could think of is the slightly wide turning radius.
    Variants & pricing
    The bajaj pulsar n160 is available in two-variants, with the single-channel variant priced at around rs. 1.23 lakh (ex-showroom), while the top-spec, dual-channel abs variant is priced at rs. 1.28 lakh (ex-showroom). At those prices, the pulsar n160 competes with the likes of the tvs apache rtr 160 4v, the suzuki gixxer and the hero xtreme 160r, but offers the only motorcycle in the segment with dual-channel abs. It's offered in four choice of colours, brooklyn black, racing red, caribbean blue and techno grey.
    Verdict
    The bajaj pulsar n160 certainly makes an impression. It handles well, ride quality is very good, brakes are superb, and the engine offers a level of refinement not seen in any entry-level pulsar till the pulsar 250s. For anyone looking for a motorcycle in the 150-160 cc segment, the new pulsar n160 should certainly be on the list of considerations. Yes, it may not have a feature-rich digital instrument console, or may not wow you with top-end performance, but the new pulsar n160 makes for a well-rounded and refined package in the premium commuter segment, and now has all the qualities to take the fight to the very best in its segment.

  • N160 other bikes .Read this before buying

    1 year ago


    Pulkesh

    Go for this bike without any second thought if you're considering buying this bike, you won't regret it. Why?? let me explain..
    Let's start with buying experience -
    The buying experience was good, took a test ride of this bike and instantly fell in love with it. Got this bike on the same day ....Blah blah ... Buying experience is the same for every brand, and for bajaj it was also good.
    Now as for riding experience, it is unmatchable, i was considering buying apache 1604v or yamaha fzs , took test rides of both, and they were good, but the engine refinement of n160 was too notch, its sitting position, your posture while riding, your control over the bike and most impressive exhaust sound is unmatchable, unlike apache with not that good sitting posture. I purchased this bike for daily use, and trust me I do not regret my decision, pulsar n160 is fun to ride unlike any other bike I took a test ride of in this segment.
    Now as for the looks, you can see it in the images and can assume how good this bike looks in comparison to its rivals, it's brooklyn black colour is just too good. Everywhere I go on this bike, not a single person asked/criticized this bike , they all said "badhiya lag rahi hai yaar bike ye ", "kitne ki padegi hume ye bike??" , trust me this bike is an eye turner if you're in college, you won't go unnoticed.
    Its performance is also top-notch, perfectly balanced, handles well on all rpm range, and goes upto 110kmph(this is how fast I could run it, till now) but top speed does not matter if you ask me as you won't be riding on 120-130kmph in your city every time. So, what matters is the mid-range of the bike, it goes upto 80kmph very quickly, so you won't feel that bike is slow, above 100kmph speed increases slowly but as I said that doesn't matter as you won't be always riding above 100 all time, also n169 handles throughout rpm , no issues with that.
    As for mileage, now this is a rollercoaster .. It runs for 55-56kmpl if you ride near 50-60kmph at constantly, without shifting gears too much, and can also give mileage as low as 35kmph on harsh riding.
    Servicing and maintenance are not expensive, around 800 on the first service, and around 1200 on the second service (due to oil change), in short, it is affordable.
    Pros -
    1- fun to ride
    2- handles well
    3- good mileage
    4-speeds up quickly upto 80kmph
    5 aggressive looking, beautiful bike
    6- has a smartphone charging port for emergency purposes.
    7- dual channel abs, ( no worries about braking at any speed, you won't crash or lose control of the bike)
    8- premium quality seat
    9- engine refinement is good
    10- exhaust sound is also good to hear
    Cons-
    1. Plastic body parts on some areas(will get damaged a lot if crashed )
    2. Need frequent cleaning to look good
    Now as for conclusion, if you ask me, I would suggest you to go for this bike if you are a college student or need a good-looking/performing bike for daily purpose, just go for it...

    Ride at constant speed if you want to get maximum mileage. Get a seat cover as the seat catches dust a lot.

  • Awesome bike

    2 years ago


    Abhishek Kumar

    This is the best bike in this particular segment. If you are 7" you can easily ride this. No doubt this is heavy but while riding this gives perfect balance. Breaking is awesome. This is a 2v machine so don't compare it to rtr 4v in speeding. Overall this is a nice machine to daily ride. Fully happy to purchase.

    Yash Mishra

    To start things off, the riding experience of this bike is next level. The engine is so refined that you don't feel any vibrations in the bike unless you are redlining. The overall performance is very good, it feels punchy in the city and stable on the highway, cruising at 100kmph is no problem at all.

    Tips for other riders

    Use a Tank pad, that tank is metal and once its scratched replacing it will be costly. Also the chain makes a loud clicking noise after jumping a bump, just ignore it not a big issue, however it is annoying.

  • N160 beast

    38 weeks ago


    Kandimalla Hareesh

    Pulsar N160 is a popular choice among users for its combination of performance, agility, and affordability. Users often praise its powerful engine, nimble handling, and comfortable riding position. However, some have noted issues with its build quality and occasional maintenance requirements. Overall, it's considered a solid option for those seeking a sporty and versatile ride.
    The mileage of the Pulsar N160 can vary depending on various factors such as riding conditions, terrain, traffic, and individual riding style. Here's a general breakdown:
    1. City Riding: In typical city commuting conditions with frequent starts and stops, the Pulsar N160 can deliver a mileage of around 45-50 km/liter. This figure may vary slightly based on factors like traffic congestion and throttle usage.
    2. Highway Riding: On open highways with steady cruising speeds, the mileage of the N160 can improve, ranging from 50-55 km/liter. Maintaining a consistent speed and avoiding aggressive acceleration can help optimize fuel efficiency during highway rides.
    3. Aggressive Riding: If ridden aggressively with frequent acceleration and high-speed maneuvers, the mileage of the N160 may drop significantly. In such cases, riders can expect a mileage closer to the lower end of the spectrum, around 40-45 km/liter.
    4. Mixed Riding Conditions: For riders who encounter a mix of city streets, highways, and occasional rough roads, the mileage may vary accordingly. Typically, the Pulsar N160 can deliver an average mileage of approximately 45-50 km/liter under mixed riding conditions.
    It's important to note that individual riding habits, maintenance practices, and bike conditions can also influence fuel efficiency. Regular servicing, proper tire inflation, and smooth throttle control can contribute to maximizing the mileage of the Pulsar N160 across different riding situations.

    Overall performance is good, but the price is quite high, according to the given features. Bajaj should change its models. Every ns and n model looks like same. Also, exhaust sound should be improved which will attract more crowd towards the Bajaj bikes.

    Shyamendra Verma

    It looks like an amazing bike in its segment. The best part is its look. Apart from the performance seat comfort of this bike is very good. Its projector-led light of headlight makes it more special. City mileage of 50 kmpl in this segment is really phenomenal. It will not hamper your budget as its mileage is very good.
