Ns160 review - buy this over the competition

11 months ago by Param Sehgal858 views

Bajaj has a very good idea of what youngsters need in their motorbikes. Behold the new 2021 Bajaj pulsar ns160. The pulsar ns range has been capable option since it's inception with the ns200 in 2012. After 5 years, Bajaj launched ns160 in 2017. This made Bajaj pulsar a leader in sports bike segment. The ns range has been upgraded to bs6 for year 2020. New colors were launched like the pearl metallic white and the frame was painted white to make it more sportier. The engine now incorporates fuel injection and has more power and torque than the outgoing bs4 variant. The suspension has been tweaked for better handling and the abs software has been tweaked for better safety. The bike has been a performance benchmark for 150-160 cc segment and the new bike has been same as well. As an owner of 2021 bs6 variant myself, i would recommend pulsar ns160 over it's competition, which is very impressive because the competition has some seriously performing machines. It is testimony of how much far Bajaj has come in making pulsar a name in budget sports bike segment.

The ns160's engine is based on the 150cc mill that powered the now-discontinued as 150. Bajaj has increased the bore, while the stroke remains the same. The engine now displaces 160.3cc, utilizing a 4-valve dts-i head and an oil cooler. It produces 15.5ps at 8,500rpm and 14.6nm at 6,500rpm which is higher than what the competition offers. The motor is mated to a 5-speed gearbox.
The first thing that strikes you when you start the motor is refinement. At idle, there are next to no vibrations and you only feel a slight buzz in the footpegs and tank as the revs climb. I was quite surprised with what bajaj has achieved in terms of engine refinement, and this is easily one of the smoothest bajaj motors out there. That said, the vibes become prominent as the revs rise past 7,000rpm and all the way to the redline.

Bajaj pulsar ns 160 is more powerful bike in this segment .Bike look is attractive and younger should buy this unique bike. Service network has been good. Maintenance is not high. Bike is good for daily use and engine is very reliable but bike makes noise on high rpm but it not a big problem. Mileage is sufficient.

The killer look it has with that design attracted me first. Compared to its rivals, the power delivery is good and delivers a decent mileage at the same time. Servicing doesn't cost much. Can be used for daily commute, tours, leisure rides. Bajaj should have provided 140/90 tyre section which it's rivals have.

While searching for a bike to buy , i was in a dillema whether to buy this or the rtr 160 4v .
Took a test ride of both back to back . I was very much impressed by the handling of the pulsar. Bought it same day and have been riding it everyday .
The best thing about pulsar is the heritage of stunts as well as racing that it has, being the first indigenous sports bike in India .
The handling is much better than the competitors. Also has a better power band than most of the competitors. Company claims a top speed of 110 kmph as indicated by the speedometer, but can easily go upto 125 km/h as indicated. Has a good mileage for the performance that it has. Been getting a consistent 40-45 km/l in city and about 50-55 on highway.
Servicing and after sales support is much better than what tvs provides. I also own a rr310 but i am not happy with the after sales support of tvs, even ordering a spare takes weeks.
The ride height as well as reachability is good for short riders. The pedal placement is also comfortable for long journeys. The only main issue is that the under belly exhaust eats up the clearance but overall it is an all round good sports bike. The sale numbers speak for itself, being the best selling bike in its class.
I will definitely recommend this for anyone who wants a sportsbike under 1.40 lakhs.
