The Bajaj Pulsar NS 160 is an all-new motorcycle and the successor to the AS 150. The design and chassis of this motorcycle are derived from the NS 200. NS stands for Naked Sports. This is an all-new motorcycle that has made its way to India. This motorcycle has been in the pipeline for a long time. Recently, the company has introduced the updated NS 200 which has the BS-IV engine. The NS 160 is the company’s first 160cc motorcycle for the Indian market and competes with many new 160cc motorcycles.

The Pulsar NS 160 stands above the Pulsar 150 and has replaced the AS 150. At the same time, it is the second member of the NS 200 family. The price of this new motorcycle is INR 78,400 (ex-showroom, New Delhi). This is not less than the competition but more on par. Since most 150cc motorcycles are now targeted at the commuter segment, many are looking for a more powerful option. Those who cannot afford the 180cc motorcycles can consider this as a lucrative option. The changes in the new motorcycle are visible when compared to the NS 200. It is said to be more affordable and also have higher efficiency. Want to know more about the Bajaj Pulsar NS 160, read on.
