New Bajaj Pulsar N160 Launched in India: Price, Features, and Mileage Update
Bajaj Auto has rolled out the refreshed Pulsar N160 in India, aiming squarely at young riders who want a bold and dependable bike. The revised model comes with small but noticeable changes in looks, performance, and tech, helping Bajaj defend its turf in one of the busiest 160cc classes in the country.
Refreshed Design and Visual Appeal
Keeping its signature streetfighter stance, the new Pulsar N160 adds fresh graphics and new paint options that make the machine pop on city streets. The beefy profile still impresses urban and semi-urban crowds, thanks to muscular tank shrouds and a sculpted tail that echo the Pulsar line. Its LED projector headlamp, framed by daytime-running lamps, offers a premium face that many rivals cant match, giving riders extra visibility and style.
Engine and Performance
The 2025 Pulsar N160 keeps things simple by housing the same 164.82cc single-cylinder, oil-cooled engine from earlier models. It kicks out 15.8 PS at 8750 rpm and 14.65 Nm at 6750 rpm, and you shift through its 5-speed gearbox. Bajaj has tuned the setup for snappier throttle response and softer gear clicks, so stop-and-go city riding feels less jerky and far more enjoyable.
Though the N160 is built for urban streets, it still holds its own on quick weekend runs. Its smooth, linear power band means college riders and office commuters alike can tap into extra punch without worrying about over-revving. Solid refinement gives confidence when merging or overtaking on the open road.
Mileage and Ride Quality
What really catches attention is the new N160s knack for sipping fuel. On mixed rides- light weekend jaunts, full-throttle bursts, and everyday trips- real users report between 45 and 50 km/l, according to the digital speedometer. That level of economy helps keep running costs down while letting owners brag about the bikes sporty look and solid performance.
The new Pulsar N160 rolls on a telescopic fork up front and a mono-shock out back. Both ends are set up with Indian roads in mind, so they soak up speed bumps and potholes without jarring the rider. Add the optional dual-channel ABS on the top model and braking feels steady even when speeds climb.
Features and Safety
The semi-digital console shows a gear-position light, distance-to-empty, and average fuel use. Riders can glance at these readouts mid-ride, which makes everyday commuting a little easier.
On the safety side, the N160 has disc brakes at both ends, with either single-channel or full dual-channel ABS, depending on which variant you pick. Wider tyres, a tough frame, and an upright seat also help keep the bike pointed where the rider wants in quick stops.
Price and Market Response
Pricing starts around ₹1.39 lakh (ex-showroom), putting the N160 in a hotly contested segment. Because the bike looks fresh, packs handy gadgets, and carries Bajaj's well-known badge, it should appeal in both Tier-1 and Tier-2 cities. Dealers are already taking orders, and deliveries will roll out in the coming weeks.
Early feedback has been encouraging, particularly from first-time buyers and younger workers wanting an everyday bike that still feels a bit sporty.
Conclusion
The refreshed Bajaj Pulsar N160 adds useful updates yet stays wallet-friendly. A mix of punchy performance, sharp looks, comfortable riding po-sition, and solid fuel economy makes it a standout in the 160cc crowd. With petrol prices climbing and interest in dependable commuter bikes growing, the new Pulsar N160 is well set to satisfy Indian riders through 2025.
This launch shows how Bajaj listens to changing tastes while keeping the Pulsar spirit alive.
