    promises and delivers performance 

    My NS160 has a 160.3cc engine , single-cylinder, oil-cooled, BS6 engine. It offers good performance for city traffic and comfortable highway riding . And it claims a mileage of 52 kmpl on highway .The NS160 offers a comfortable, upright riding posture with a slightly raised handlebar, a well-cushioned split seat design for rider . It lacks additional safety features like airbags or traction control that might be found in some bigger bikes. However it is not a most powerful engine.
