In contrast to the Pulsar NS160 that was released five years ago, the Pulsar N160 does not have anything in common with it, as it comes with a new engine, frame, gearbox, and an edgy design that it shares with the Bajaj Pulsar N250. With the Pulsar N160, Bajaj Auto is looking to challenge its rivals.
Design and Feature
The Pulsar N160 has a familiar design, almost identical to the larger Pulsar N250. Its face is composed of LED DRLs, projector headlamps, and a small quarter fairing around the fuel tank. The seat is wide, comfortable, and low enough to accommodate riders of various heights and sizes.
The speedometer console, which is both analog and digital, may appear outdated, but it still offers all the necessary read-outs, such as a gear position indicator and distance to empty. Additionally, the top of the fuel tank has a USB charging port.

However, the N160 comes in four color variants, only the Brooklyn black released in Bangladesh.
Engine and Performance
The new 165 cc (precisely 164.82 cc) engine produces a deep sound when it is started, and it has a single-cylinder, two-valve air, and oil-cooled design. It delivers 16 ps power output at 8,750 rpm and 14.65 Nm of peak torque at 6,500 rpm.
