Bajaj Auto has finally launched the new generation Pulsar NS 160 in India with bookings already underway. While speculations and media reports suggested that the new Pulsar NS160 will be launched next month, Bajaj Auto launched the new bike on Friday itself, before the Goods and Service Tax was rolled out at midnight in Parliament. Prices were to take effect from July 1, 2017.
Here's a list of things that you need to know about the new Bajaj Pulsar NS160.
PRICE:
City | Price (ex showroom) |
Mumbai | Rs 80,648 |
Chennai | Rs 81,466 |
Kolkata | Rs 80,365 |
DESIGN:
The Pulsar NS 160 stands out with an aggressive and sporty look. An aggressive front with a muscular tank bearing a 160 design on the side gives this Pulsar's style a new dynamic. The underbelly exhausts gives it a lean, sleek look that accentuates the iconic naked sport family.
ENGINE:
The new Bajaj Pulsar NS 160 will come with a 160.3 cc, 4-stroke, oil-cooled DTSi engine that produces 15.2BHP of peak power and 14.6NM of peak torque, mated to a five-speed gearbox.
SUSPENSION:
The mono-shock with Nitrox rear suspension is carefully designed to maintain a stable riding position at every twist and turn. The sporty-looking, 12-litre fuel tank lets the rider take extended trips while keeping a snug position at all times.
DIMENSION:
The new Bajaj Pulsar NS 160 will come with a wheelbase of 1363 mm and measures 2012 mm in length, 803.5 mm in width and 1060 mm in length with a ground clearance of 176 mm. It has a kerb weight of 142 kgs.
SAFETY FEATURES:
The power-packed performance is combined with the ultimate standards in safety. The front disc brakes are powered hydraulically and ventilated to absorb hard riding techniques.
COMPETITION:
The new Bajaj Pulsar NS 160 will compete with the likes of Honda CB Hornet 160R, Suzuki Gixxer and TVS Apache RTR 160 in India.
PULSAR 200 NS:
Back in 2015, Bajaj Motorcycles was convinced that they wanted to diversify their Pulsar line-up and this could be achieve only by way of compromise. Launched in 2012, the 200 NS (Naked Sport) was revered as being the first all-new motorcycle in the Pulsar's 10 years of dominating existence. It got a 200cc single-cylinder unit that shared mechanicals with the KTM Duke 200 and was definitely a scorcher too in the handling.
Unfortunately, market demand had other ideas and 200 NS was discontinued to make way for the likes of the AS 200 & 150. However, while the 200 NS was at least on the cusp of picking up popularity, the AS twins completely failed to even take off. Enter back the NS 200.
Design:
On paper, the first change you will notice is the name itself. It has been switched around and has now been christened the NS 200 (which I personally prefer, it rolls off the tongue so much better). In terms of styling, the new motorcycle has a lot going for it over its predecessor. Beneath the new sharp styling of the graphics, Bajaj has also introduced new colours for base coat- Mirage White and Wild Red. Exuberating quality, the new coats have done well to spruce up the already aggressive styling of the motorcycle.
Styling:
Bajaj has also added grey matte-coloured styling graphics with '200' branding in a stylish font on the tank extension panels. Adding to the list of styling cues, the NS 200 now gets a plastic belly pan added to the bike just below the engine for a more aggressive street-fighter look. While its primary function will be aesthetic enhancements, the company does mention that this little detail will aid in improved aerodynamics. The brochure will have you believe so, but real world applications will be quite marginal.
Engine:
The NS 200 still comes with the same 200cc unit as the previous one and develops exactly the same amount of power as well, 23.5bhp and 18.3Nm of torque. However, the engine is still very much a gem. Always ready to climb to the red-line when pushed hard and always keeping in reserve a wide powerband needed for ideal low-speed and city-traffic get-away situations.
Handling:
As far as the overall handling is concerned, the NS 200 is the most fun to be atop of amongst the Pulsar siblings. The point-and-shoot characteristic is quite addictive and thanks to an excellent power-to-weight ratio of 155bhp, the bike tippy-toes its way through a race track, as fun to play with as Bajaj's test track in Chakan.
