EXCLUSIVE: BS6 Bajaj Pulsar NS160 Reaches Dealerships

The booking amount for the BS6 NS160 is pegged at Rs 5,000

• The BS6-compliant NS160 is around Rs 9,200 more expensive than before. 
• Expect a small drop in power and torque. 
• There are no cosmetic changes.

In the past few weeks, we have seen several spy shots of BS6-compliant Bajaj motorcycles at dealerships. Joining this list is the BS6 Pulsar NS160, which has been spotted for the first time at a dealership. According to our dealer sources, the BS6-compliant NS160 is priced at Rs 1.03 lakh (ex-showroom), making it around Rs 9,200 more expensive than before. The booking amount is pegged at Rs 5,000.

Bajaj has not officially revealed the spec sheet yet, but we expect it to have a similar power output as the older model, which produced 15.5PS and 14.6Nm. Considering that the motorcycle is now BS6-compliant, we expect the weight to go up by a smidge. Apart from these small changes, the rest of the motorcycle is the same as before. 

We were expecting the NS160 to get a minor cosmetic update in the form of new paint options or decals, but the spy shots reveal the BS6 model looking exactly the same as the older model. However, we expect Bajaj might bring a new colour scheme for the NS160 in the future. 

In terms of rivals, it goes up against the TVS Apache RTR 160 4V, Suzuki Gixxer and the Yamaha FZ Version 3.0.
