The 160cc segment is a very competitive one and several popular models are competing for attention. The Pulsar N160 is also compared with bikes like the TVS Apache RTR 160 4V, Honda X-Blade and Yamaha FZ-S V3 by riders. There are strengths of each bike — power delivery, handling, comfort, features — and while that's the case, there's no clear winner. The Pulsar N160 also contributes its own unique characteristics to the table, including the dual channel ABS system. Enthusiasts discuss everything from engine refinement, vibration levels, long ride seat comfort, and build quality. The discussion then often includes brand loyalty, after sales service and how the bike can handle different riding conditions such as city traffic to highway cruising.
