    beauty clubbed with performance  

    I love my Bajaj Pulsar NS160 as it is a stylish and fuel-efficient 164.82cc bike, perfect for daily rides. Its engine delivers 14.5 PS of power and 14.1 Nm of torque, with a top speed of around 110 kmph. Riders get around 45-50 kmpl in the city. It's comfortable with a split seat and upright riding position. The handling is decent, though some feel the suspension is stiff on rough roads. Safety features include disc brakes with optional ABS. While it's stylish and economical, vibrations are noticeable at high speeds.

    Best in caetegory 

    I have been riding the Bajaj Pulsar NS160 for about 6 months now and it genuinely feels like it was made for Indian streets. The 160.3 cc engine does not just sound good it gives you that punchy response you need in city traffic and on open roads. With a mileage of around 40-45 kmpl, it does not burn a hole in your pocket either.However it is not all sunshine and rainbows. The bike's vibrations once you hit higher speeds (beyond 80 kmph) can be a bit bothersome. The seating comfort is good but could have been better for longer rides.

    The Bajaj Pulsar NS160 Experience 

    Since the day I bought the Bajaj Pulsar NS160, it has been nothing short of a thrilling companion on the roads. With its 160.3cc engine producing 15.5 horsepower and 14.6 Nm of torque it strikes a perfect balance between power and agility. Its sleek design and the signature aggressive headlight give it a sporty look while the riding position and suspension setup offer a comfortable ride even on bumpy roads.However I have noticed the bike struggles a bit when it comes to fuel efficiency specially in heavy traffic conditions.
