In terms of overall ergonomics, the NS 160 is a rider-friendly motorcycle. It is a naked streetfighter bike. But the riding triangle is made to keep the rider comfortable in short as well as long commutes.
The seat height of the bike is 805 mm. It allows tall and short riders to get on the saddle easily.
The footpegs are rear set and the clip-on handlebar is positioned away from the rider. This surely compels the rider to sit with an aggressive stance. But the height of the handlebar is relatively high.
Hence, even with an aggressive riding stance, the rider will be able to remain comfortable on long rides. The seats are well-padded, contoured and spacious. All of this makes the bike ideal for long bike trips to distant destinations.
The Pulsar NS 160 is powered by a 160 CC engine. It is a single-cylinder, fuel-injected, oil-cooled and BS6-compliant engine.
The engineers at Bajaj tuned the motor to produce 15.3 bhp of peak power. The peak torque output of the motor is 14.6Nm. The motor is paired with a smooth-shifting five-speed gearbox.
The motorcycle has a front fork-style suspension. The rear suspension is a monoshock unit with a gas reservoir.
The latest iteration of the bike comes with split-five-spoke forged alloy wheels. The tires on the bike are 80/100 for the front wheel. The rear wheel has a 110/80 tire.
The bike is paired with disc brakes for the front and rear wheels. Bajaj Auto offers the bike with single-channel ABS as a standard fitment.
The motor on the bike comes with a short stroke. This allows the engine to remain rev-happy! The overall riding experience of the bike is pretty engaging. The acceleration of the NS160 has always been a selling point. The new iteration of the bike retains this nature on its motor.
The motor is capable of delivering its power and torque linearly. After the motor surpasses the 5000 RPM mark, it feels more eager. The first and second gear come with short ratios. This keeps the engine of the bike cool in bumper-to-bumper traffic.
The highway performance of the bike is amazing. One can reach the proverbial benchmark of 100 KMPH in no time. The gearbox is smooth and the clutch is light hence, gear shifts are effortless.
The bike is known for its feistiness and the latest iteration retains that character. This ensures that every ride will be paired with an engaging experience. The bike is well-balanced at slow speeds. It is easy to take corners, make successful overtakes and weave through traffic.
The bike is very stable at high speeds all thanks to the fine-tuned perimeter frame and semi-hard suspension setup.
