    I have the best experience riding the pulsar n160. I enjoyed it. I like the features too. Massive performer. Go and enjoy yourself by booking it as fast as possible. I can say you must feel the best experience through the ride on the pulsar n160. Black will give you a better appearance and style. Do compare the prices in various showrooms. May they try to cheat.

  • 2yrs of Pulsar N160 clear user Experience

    27 weeks ago


    Vignesh

    Best buying experience, in fact, I purchased this bike at the time of launch.
    Really impressed with this bike's look, seating and headlight. Duel channel ABS breaking system is the best part of this price range.
    Mono suspension is also really impressive.
    Pickup is ok but not up to the mark. The exhaust note is good with underbelly exhaust.
    Really impressed with the mileage of the bike. 50-55 kmpl. One of the best mileage 160CC bike.
    Bajaj Service is good and maintenance is also ok.
    Pros:
    Body Look, Seating, Breaking system, Suspension, Headlight and Mileage
    Cons:
    Pickup is not good and top speed is also definitely not satisfactory.

    Rahul Suryavanshi

    This is a great bike. Comfort is awesome while riding. Build quality is superb and dual channel abs make this bike stand out in the 160 cc category. I am getting 46 to 50kmpl mileage with 50 to 80kmph speed.
    The only thing that I didn't like about this bike is its chain sound but it can solve in the service center. But I think it is not a big issue.

  • Worst build quality and after-sale service ever

    2 weeks ago


    Aditya Jadhav

    Look-wise and performance wise the bike is very decent but parts quality is very bad as compared to other bikes of segment. If you want to buy a bike in the 160cc segment just go for Hornet or Extreme 160. Riding this bike for around 2000 kms now and it already started making noice i dont know from where the noice is coming so visited the service center and they just started giving non sense excuses.

  • Can buy satisfied with riding experience

    2 years ago


    Milton

    The buying experience was good at raiganj showroom. The bike is very much controllable. But the engine oil leaked from the date of purchase. I went to my nearby showroom for repair but still leaking engine oil. The engine guard should be there instead of the engine cowl. My overall experience is good riding this bike with a pillion also. But why does engine oil leak from the upper side of the engine?

  • Bajaj Pulsar The Riders Choice

    42 weeks ago


    Biswajit Nayak

    My experience with the Bajaj Pulsar N160 has been nothing short of exhilarating. The motorcycle's 160cc engine serves up ample power, making even the longest journeys appear short. The comfortable seating, intelligently designed to reduce strain, significantly amplifies the joy of owning this bike. The stylish, masculine graphics complement the overall look, turning heads wherever I go. The incorporation of ABS assures safety and instills confidence during high-speed cruising. Kudos to Bajaj for a solid and reliable model. This is one of the best products from Bajaj ever with the Bajaj Pulsar 150 they both ruled on top of the two-wheeler.

  • Pulsar n160 blue review and pics.

    1 year ago


    Kunal Nath

    The real price for the top variant is near 1.58 lakh. The bike is very easy to ride, and the weight is very well balanced at the center of mass, so in spite of 155 kg, the bike seems very less weight. The look is very very sexy, the performance is very smooth, and the maintenance of the chain is needed from time to time. The turning radius is large and the rear brake is slow in spite of disc brakes.

    Use the chain spray for better life time of chain and chain cranks. Until the first service the engine will heat more, so don't worry about that.

    I have the best experience riding the pulsar n160. I enjoyed it. I like the features too. Massive performer. Go and enjoy yourself by booking it as fast as possible. I can say you must feel the best experience through the ride on the pulsar n160. Black will give you a better appearance and style. Do compare the prices in various showrooms. May they try to cheat.

    Vignesh

    Best buying experience, in fact, I purchased this bike at the time of launch.
    Really impressed with this bike's look, seating and headlight. Duel channel ABS breaking system is the best part of this price range.
    Mono suspension is also really impressive.
    Pickup is ok but not up to the mark. The exhaust note is good with underbelly exhaust.
    Really impressed with the mileage of the bike. 50-55 kmpl. One of the best mileage 160CC bike.
    Bajaj Service is good and maintenance is also ok.
    Pros:
    Body Look, Seating, Breaking system, Suspension, Headlight and Mileage
    Cons:
    Pickup is not good and top speed is also definitely not satisfactory.

    This is a great bike. Comfort is awesome while riding. Build quality is superb and dual channel abs make this bike stand out in the 160 cc category. I am getting 46 to 50kmpl mileage with 50 to 80kmph speed.
    The only thing that I didn't like about this bike is its chain sound but it can solve in the service center. But I think it is not a big issue.

    Aditya Jadhav

    Look-wise and performance wise the bike is very decent but parts quality is very bad as compared to other bikes of segment. If you want to buy a bike in the 160cc segment just go for Hornet or Extreme 160. Riding this bike for around 2000 kms now and it already started making noice i dont know from where the noice is coming so visited the service center and they just started giving non sense excuses.

    The buying experience was good at raiganj showroom. The bike is very much controllable. But the engine oil leaked from the date of purchase. I went to my nearby showroom for repair but still leaking engine oil. The engine guard should be there instead of the engine cowl. My overall experience is good riding this bike with a pillion also. But why does engine oil leak from the upper side of the engine?

  • Bajaj Pulsar The Riders Choice

    Biswajit Nayak

    My experience with the Bajaj Pulsar N160 has been nothing short of exhilarating. The motorcycle's 160cc engine serves up ample power, making even the longest journeys appear short. The comfortable seating, intelligently designed to reduce strain, significantly amplifies the joy of owning this bike. The stylish, masculine graphics complement the overall look, turning heads wherever I go. The incorporation of ABS assures safety and instills confidence during high-speed cruising. Kudos to Bajaj for a solid and reliable model. This is one of the best products from Bajaj ever with the Bajaj Pulsar 150 they both ruled on top of the two-wheeler.

    Kunal Nath

    The real price for the top variant is near 1.58 lakh. The bike is very easy to ride, and the weight is very well balanced at the center of mass, so in spite of 155 kg, the bike seems very less weight. The look is very very sexy, the performance is very smooth, and the maintenance of the chain is needed from time to time. The turning radius is large and the rear brake is slow in spite of disc brakes.

    Tips for other riders

    Use the chain spray for better life time of chain and chain cranks. Until the first service the engine will heat more, so don't worry about that.
