Is the Pulsar N160 2 Channel ABS worthy of the Pulsar legacy?

Question

The Pulsar brand in the Indian motorcycle market has a reputation for delivering performance oriented motorcycles at affordable prices. Pulsar models have earned a reputation over the years for muscular design, peppy engines and value for money proposition. The N160 2-Channel ABS has been a hot topic in the world of Pulsar, with many wondering if the new model continues the DNA of the Pulsar. There are enthusiasts debating the design language, performance, or how it compares to iconic Pulsar models of the past. It is said that the modern features such as dual channel ABS and better refinement make the Pulsar experience a bit better, while others say that the raw, aggressive nature of earlier Pulsars has been diluted a bit in this new offering.

I think it’s a nice balance. It’s familiar enough to feel like the old Pulsar, but fresh enough to feel like new tech.

@vijay-kuma · Answer

In some ways it's better than the Pulsar legacy. It feels more refined, and is a more modern package.

@nirati-sri · Answer

I own Pulsars since the 150 DTSi days and I'd say N160 is a worthy successor. It's just evolved.

@chandan-ku · Answer

It’s got the spirit, but it’s lost that raw Pulsar style. It feels more civilized, I guess?

@monalisa-p · Answer

It's a Pulsar, but in a good way. The safety level was lacking in the older models, but the dual channel ABS adds to that.

@shantanu-s · Answer

I would love to have the old school Pulsar design. Now the N160 looks too much like other bikes in the market.

@deepak-khu · Answer

Absolutely! If the N160 is a modern evolution of the Pulsar, it feels like it. It has that same punchy feel, but with better refinement.
