Expert's Opinion on Pulsar N160

Overview

Definitely Pulsar

The Bajaj Pulsar N160 shares the same design language as the N250 along with the same chassis
The bike is quite fuel efficient, tractable, and capable of hitting apexes without feeling unsettled

Design

A Familiar Story

The Pulsar N160 has the same design as its elder sibling, the N250
It gets split-LED DRLs and the LED projector headlight
The bike has beefy fuel tank extensions which look quite sporty
The only difference between the N250’s design and this is of the stickers it gets, which reduces the appeal of the bike

Performance & Mileage

A Strong Heart

The 160cc engine is torquey and street-friendly
The bike pulls clean after being slotted into the 5th gear at 25kmph without much effort
Despite being a 2-valve engine, it is very refined and has minimal vibrations
The N160 is quite frugal as well and has a claimed mileage of 48.5kmpl
It feels at ease sitting at 85-90kmph and can sustain slightly higher speeds as well
Above speeds of 90kmph, the engine becomes very loud and struggles to pick up pace

Handling

Never Backs Down

The N160 handles corners beautifully
It inspires the rider with confidence to carry more speed through the corner
The brakes are good and allow the bike to shed speed quickly
The lever feedback is precise and on-point

Ride Quality

Achilles' Heel

The suspension is on the stiffer side and becomes more pliant with a pillion onboard
As it shares the same monoshock as the N250, it is set on the firmer side
Due to its lower kerb weight than the N250, the rear feels stiff and will try to throw you off when going fast over sharp bumps

Comfort & Storage

Quite Good

The seat is well-padded and provides ample amounts of support for both the rider and the pillion
The mid-set footpegs and the handlebar allow for an upright riding posture making it quite comfortable

Features

A Decent List

The Bajaj Pulsar N160 comes with an LCD instrument cluster which supports smartphone connectivity via Bluetooth
It shows call & SMS alerts, music control and turn-by-turn navigation
The bike gets three ABS modes: Rain, Road and Offroad, and a USB charging port as well
The LCD screen is quite cluttered and difficult to read at a glance

Verdict

Should you buy the Bajaj Pulsar N160?

The Bajaj Pulsar N160 is a great motorcycle which has decent features, a frugal and capable engine, and loves to hit the corners
The only caveat is the harsh ride quality and the looks which are similar to its elder sibling

Pros and Cons of Pulsar N160

Likes

Engine is very refined and tractable
Sporty and confidence-inspiring handling
Only bike with dual-channel ABS in the 160cc segment

Dislikes

Rear monoshock is firm, resulting in a bouncy ride
Not-very extensive features list
Looks like a clone of the Pulsar N250

Expert's Conclusion

The Bajaj Pulsar N160 is very likeable as a whole. Its combination of a smooth, tractable and easy going motor with the brilliant handling characteristics fit is perfect for the segment. And the addition of dual-channel ABS is a big advantage.
