The Story in Brief
Bajaj Auto has expanded its Pulsar N160 range with two new variants: the Pulsar N160 S and N160 SS, priced at Rs 1,33,511 and Rs 1,42,585 (ex-showroom) respectively. The launch marks 25 years of the Pulsar brand. Both bikes get a 164.5cc, 4-valve, single-cylinder engine producing 18.5 PS and 14.4 Nm, paired with an electric throttle and four ride modes (Road, Rain, Sport, Off-Road). The SS variant adds a 5-inch TFT screen with Google Maps mirroring, adjustable clutch and brake levers, and traction control. A new crawl technology helps in slow traffic without constant clutch use. The existing N160 will continue to be sold alongside these new models.
The Indian Opinion
Bike launches always get breathless coverage, but the real test is service and spare-part availability in smaller towns. Bajaj’s new Pulsar N160 variants boast a 4-valve engine and electronic throttle, but the 18.5 PS power figure is modest. Enthusiasts will hype the traction control and crawl tech; the question is whether the extra Rs 9,000 for the SS variant buys enough real-world value. Sales numbers over the next quarter will settle whether this is a genuine upgrade or just a cosmetic refresh.
