The motorcycle is an updated addition to the series in the 150-165cc range of motorcycles almost newly introduced in the market. 

The new Bajaj Pulsar N160 is the younger sibling in the Pulsar series.

New Bajaj Pulsar N160 – Physical Attributes:

The new Bajaj Pulsar N160 is the latest addition to the Bajaj Pulsar motorcycle series produced by Bajaj Auto Ltd. It’s a stylish naked commuter category motorcycle. In the new version, the motorcycle comes with an all-new exterior design along with all-new color & sticker works and a bunch of enthralling technical enhancements. Therefore, the new Bajaj Pulsar N160 is designed to be "Rough & Tough” with an unmatched aggressive exterior design & styling.

The new Pulsar N160 is covered with an aggressively naked and sleek exterior profile that features a sharper and cutting-edge design. The body panel is nicely synchronized with multi-layered panels that give quite a robotic impression from its head to tail. Moreover, an attractive dual-tone graphic scheme and synchronized skin tone cover the entire body like a single shade.

In the body design, the motorcycle got a significant facelift by its headlamp assembly which is crafted aggressively along with a Bi-functional single LED projection lamp and double LED DRL that looks like a panther head. And on the top, along with front turn indicators, the analog-digital combo ODO is placed that is also naked and that has not even a bikini shield. Thus, including the wider pipe handlebar, the front assembly kept fully naked and exposed.

After that, the fuel tank is the second most aggressively designed part of the motorcycle. The fuel tank is mufflered with sharp-edged plastic panels and sharp shroud extensions on both sides. Matching the same, the engine is also covered with a sharp-edged underbelly pan that is somewhat synchronized with the aerodynamic tank shroud and overall exterior of the motorcycle. Hence, the sporty compact side panels and rear panels are also designed under the same synchronizations.

Coming to the rest, the motorcycle comes with a sporty seat where the rear is supported by split grab rails. Here, the tail is fully compact where a slashed LED taillamp is paneled under the rear seat panel. Accordingly, the rear wheel got a bikini mudguard and the conventional exhaust is omitted by an exclusive underbelly setup. Thus, the new Pulsar N160 is designed to be packed, compact, and sportier than the older models, which is great.
