About Pulsar N160 :
Bajaj Pulsar is a street bike available at a starting price of Rs. 1,22,974 in India. It is available in 4 variants and 3 colours with top variant price starting from Rs. 1,30,425. The Bajaj Pulsar N160 is powered by 164.82cc BS6 engine which develops a power of 15.68bhp and a torque of 14.65 Nm. With both front and rear disc brakes, Bajaj Pulsar N160 comes up with anti-locking braking system. This Pulsar N160 bike weighs 152kg and has a fuel tank capacity of 14 litres.
Pulsar n160 top speed: 120kmph
The Pulsar N160’s engine has nothing to do with the existing Pulsar NS160’s mill. This engine, in fact, has been under development around the same time as the Pulsar 250’s engine. It has a long-stroke configuration, with a simple two-valve head and makes 16hp and 14.7Nm of peak torque. These figures aren’t class leading, although it is quite close to the motorcycles at the top of the segment. Only the RTR 160 4V and the NS160 outdo the N160 in claimed engine output figures. However, there is also the fact that at 154kg, N160 is the heaviest bike in the segment. You would imagine that with a power to weight ratio of 103.89hp/tonne, compared with the RTR’s 119.86hp/tonne, the Pulsar N160 is already on the back foot. But that’s only on paper.
In the real world, the engine is delightfully smooth, packs oodles of torque and has decent top end performance as well. The low and midrange between 4,000 to 7,000rpm, especially, is astonishingly good. You can be as lazy as a sloth, slot the gearbox in 5th and ride at 30-35kph in the city without any signs of protest from the engine. Roll on the throttle from this point and the bike pulls cleanly, albeit at a slow pace. However, if you need to pull a quick overtake you will have to go down a gear or two. Not that you’ll mind this because the gearbox is smooth and the light clutch lever action will also make it a breeze to go up and down the cogs.
All said, the engine’s superb tractability will make it natural for those graduating from 125cc-150cc motorcycles to feel at home with the N160.
Top-end performance isn’t lacking either and the bike can hold a steady 80-90kph without feeling or sounding strained. Sitting at 100kph, too, doesn’t cause the engine to sweat. From then on, however, the performance begins to taper as the digital speedo climbs to an indicated top speed of around 120kph. At this point, the revs are also pretty close to the redline, which again is an indicator of the engine reaching its performance ceiling.
Overall, the N160’s engine is the star of the show here and I’m also a fan of its throaty exhaust note.
