Tomorrow, Bajaj will launch the updated Pulsar NS160 in India. But, the price of the updated model has got leaked ahead of its official debut, with the updated model priced at Rs. 1,34,657 (ex-showroom Delhi). The 2023 NS160 costs approximately Rs. 9,000 more than the previous model.
The most significant changes for the NS160 are new USD front forks. These USD forks replace the conventional telescopic units that have before been offered. It also now has dual-channel ABS. Aside from that, the design cues and bodywork of the 2023 Bajaj Pulsar NS160 remain unchanged from the previous model. The halogen headlight, chiselled fuel tank, split seat, and muscular appearance have not changed.
The new NS160, like all other two-wheelers on the market in India, will follow OBD-2 standards (onboard diagnostics). As a result, it now includes an OBD sensor to track its real-time emissions. It continues to be powered by the 160cc single-cylinder engine, which produces 16.7bhp and 14.7Nm. The engine is coupled to a five-speed transmission and is housed in a perimeter frame.
The semi-digital console on the 2023 Bajaj Pulsar NS160 has been modified. It houses the gear position indicator and various readouts. Like speedometer, trip metre, odometer, fuel level reading, and other information. The front disc brake size has also been increased from 260mm to 300mm, while the rear 230mm unit remains the same. It rides on 17-inch alloy wheels with a 90/90 front tyre and a 120/80 rear tyre.
