The Bajaj Pulsar gets yet another derivative, and this time, it’s called the NS160. Revealed in Turkey, the new Pulsar NS160 can be called the spiritual successor to the NS150 that’s already sold in export markets like Turkey and Colombia.
The Pulsar NS160 gets a new, 160.3 cc, single cylinder; 4-valve DTS-I engine good for 15.5 PS of peak power at 8500 rpm and 14.6 Nm of maximum torque at 6500 rpm. The latest Naked Sport tips the scales at 135 kg (kerb weight).

Hi Noor, there are no details regarding the India launch.
The problem with a bajaj product is..the model like pulsars will b launched in 180 first..then 150,135,200,220…they make that particular bike so common that the exclusivity that particular model tends to lose..similarly..200 ns now in 160.. Avenger 220 was really abt godliness..but 150 ruined it..hope somebody is listening.
Is it launch in India. When ?
