The digital dash that’s now found on the Pulsar N150 and N160 along with revised switchgear has now made its way to the Pulsar NS models. The new digital display allows the user to pair their smartphone using the proprietary Bajaj Ride Connect app, which then can be used to accept/decline incoming calls and receive notification alerts. Aside from all this, the new dash is also capable of showing you real-time fuel efficiency, average mileage and distance to empty. Pricing hasn’t been announced yet but expect both models to get a small bump up from their current asking prices of Rs 1.37 lakh (NS160) and Rs 1.46 lakh (NS200).
