Bajaj Pulsar N160 Overview
Design
Bajaj Pulsar N160 sports the same design as seen in the N250.
Built on the “Sculptural Purity” principle, it gets a metalized dual-tone color. It is an interplay of premium shades.
Interestingly, it gets a darker shade in the front and lighter towards the rear. This helps emphasize the contours of the beast.
The front section comes with a Bi-Functional Projector LED headlamp with Twin-LED DRLs. Moreover, it gets standard halogen indicators instead of LED ones.
However, other elements remain unchanged.
It still comes with a single-piece handlebar, muscular fuel tank, and the iconic Pulsar emblem.

Furthermore, it comes with a Split-Seat Setup with Stylish Grab Rail. However, the dual-barrel exhaust has been replaced by a belly-pan exhaust.
Other than that, it still comes with the new Infinity Analog-Digital Meter and Twin LED Taillamp.
Compared to other 160cc rivals, the Pulsar N160 boasts a more premium and hefty finish.
Additionally, Bajaj Pulsar N160 comes in four different colors: Black, Red, Blue, and Gray.

Moreover, it is mated to a 5-speed gearbox with a 14-liter fuel tank capacity.

Bajaj Pulsar N160 Price in Nepal and Availability
It is still too early to talk about its pricing. Nevertheless, the Bajaj Pulsar N160 price in Nepal can be anywhere from Rs. 4 Lakhs to Rs. 5 Lakhs.
Since the Govt of Nepal has increased tax on 250cc machines, the N250 will be priced above Rs. 6 Lakhs.
Taking that into consideration, the N160 will cost below that.
Bajaj Pulsar N160 | Price in Nepal |
---|---|
Bajaj Pulsar N160 | Rs. 4 Lakhs – Rs. 5 Lakhs (expected) |
