The Pulsar N160 is available in single channel ABS and dual channel ABS, with the latter being quite dearer than the former. Dual channel ABS is a better safety feature but some riders feel that a 160cc bike doesn’t need it. There is also the question whether the extra cost, for added braking performance and safety, is worth it for typical urban commuting usecases. This decision is influenced by factors such as riding conditions, personal skill level and budget constraints. Moreover, some riders think that the single channel ABS version is sufficient for the safety of its use, while others argue that safety should be given preference regardless of the engine capacity.
