Has Bajaj made any changes to the Pulsar NS160’s design?
In its latest trim, the Bajaj Pulsar NS160 retains the design from the 2022 model. Hence, it also gets the same headlight, chiselled fuel tank, split seat, sharp rear side panels, and split grab rail. However, the 2023 NS160 gets a new black and red paint scheme, enhancing its visual appeal.

That said, the motor is now OBD-2-ready. OBD stands for onboard diagnostics, which allows the bike to monitor real-time emissions.

It continues to ride on 17-inch alloys wrapped in 100/80 front and 130/70 rear tyres.
