Overview
- Bajaj launched the Pulsar N160 S and N160 SS on Friday, August 7, 2026, pricing them at Rs 1,33,511 and Rs 1,42,585 ex‑showroom Delhi respectively.
- Both new models use a 164.5 cc four‑valve oil‑cooled SOHC engine with an Electronic Throttle Body that Bajaj says makes 18.5 PS and 14.4 Nm and delivers a claimed 0–60 km/h time of 4.5 seconds.
- The ETB enables four ride modes — Road, Rain, Sport and Off‑road — and adds crawl technology for low‑speed control while the SS also gets traction control.
- Bajaj positions the SS as the technology flagship with a 5‑inch TFT that the company says mirrors Google Maps while the S gets an LCD with Bluetooth navigation, and higher trims add 37 mm USD forks, a 300 mm front disc and dual‑channel ABS.
- The existing 2‑valve Pulsar N160 remains on sale as the entry model, giving buyers three trim levels and signalling Bajaj's move to pack electronic aids into the 160cc segment, and independent testing will be needed to verify the company's performance and segment‑first connectivity claims.
