Bajaj Auto has launched the BS6 Pulsar NS 160 in India. The younger sibling of the highly popular Bajaj Pulsar NS200 has been priced at INR 1.04 lakh*.
BS6 Bajaj Pulsar NS 160 Specifications
The BS6 Bajaj Pulsar NS 160 is powered by a revised 160.3 cc single-cylinder, oil-cooled, Twin Spark engine. This engine produces 17.2 PS of maximum power at 9,000 rpm and 14.6 Nm of peak torque at 7,250 rpm and is linked to a 6-speed gearbox. The addition of fuel-injection should've made the throttle response crisper and also improved the bike’s performance and fuel economy.
The engine of the BS4 Pulsar NS 160 produced 15.5 PS of power at 8,500 rpm and the same amount of torque (but at 6,500 rpm). It was paired with a 6-speed transmission.
