Home / New Bike Prices / Bajaj / Pulsar N160
Bajaj’s Pulsar N160 brings a proper modern-bike feel into the price band where many Nepali buyers are still cross‑shopping small cars and entry hatchbacks. With its 160 cc fuel‑injected engine, dual‑channel ABS and the latest USD‑fork, digital‑console top variant sold here, it offers city performance and road presence that a budget car simply cannot match on our narrow, hilly routes. For urban families that already have four wheels covered, it makes a strong case as the fun, efficient second vehicle for daily commuting and weekend runs outside the Ring Road.
Editorial overview compiled from official specs and Nepali/Indian auto sources · as of 17 Jul 2026.
In its latest Nepal‑spec Pulsar N160 ABS form, the bike is a sharp streetfighter rather than a traditional commuter, with a muscular tank, underbelly exhaust and compact tail that feel more premium than its price suggests. The bi‑functional LED projector headlamp with LED DRLs, an LED tail‑lamp and fresh graphics give it a modern, almost mini‑naked‑sport look that stands out in Kathmandu traffic and at highway tea stops. Bajaj offers multiple colour options like Pearl Metallic White, Racing Red, Polar Sky Blue and Brooklyn Black in Nepal, so buyers can pick anything from subtle to flashy depending on whether it is a family workhorse or a weekend toy. Against rivals such as the TVS Apache RTR 160 4V and Honda XBlade, its stance and detailing lean to the sportier side, which speaks strongly to younger riders moving up from scooters or 125 cc bikes.
Power comes from a 164.82 cc, single‑cylinder, 4‑stroke, SOHC fuel‑injected engine that produces around 16 PS of power and 14.65 Nm of torque in this BS6‑spec configuration. It is set up more for real‑world punch than outright speed, with a broad torque spread and a 5‑speed gearbox that suits stop‑start city traffic as well as open stretches like Tribhuvan Highway or the Dhulikhel side of Araniko Highway. Dual‑channel ABS works on a 300 mm front disc and 230 mm rear disc, giving confident braking on wet, dusty and broken Nepali roads, especially downhill where lighter bikes can feel nervous. Top‑variant hardware such as the USD front fork and radial tubeless tyres further improve front‑end feel and stability. The N160 feels planted when cornering or dodging potholes compared with more basic commuter motorcycles.
