Is the NS160's oil-cooled engine actually better than air-cooled alternatives?
The Bajaj Pulsar NS160 features an oil-cooled engine, which the company touts as a significant advantage over traditional air-cooled engines found in many competitors. This cooling system is said to offer better heat management and potentially improved performance and longevity. However, there's debate among riders and enthusiasts about whether the benefits of oil cooling in a 160cc engine are noticeable in real-world conditions. Some argue that it's overkill for this displacement and adds unnecessary complexity and cost. Others claim it makes a tangible difference in performance, especially in hot climates or during prolonged high-speed riding. The discussion often extends to comparisons with air-cooled engines in terms of maintenance, reliability, and overall riding experience.
Honestly, I can't tell much difference. Maybe it helps on really hot days, but in normal riding, it seems like overkill for a 160cc.
