Key Highlights:

Bajaj 2024 Pulsar NS160  is set to arrive in the Indian market with some new updates. The bike has been spotted testing, and it is expected that the bike will come with a new instrument cluster. The bike will also feature all new updated switchgear.

In an exciting development for motorcycle enthusiasts, the Bajaj Pulsar NS160 is gearing up for a significant update before making its presence felt in the Indian market. Recent spy shots have surfaced, revealing the bike undergoing testing, and it appears that the updates extend beyond mere cosmetic changes.

New Instrument Cluster and Switchgear: A Technological Leap Forward

The standout feature of the impending update is the anticipated introduction of a new instrument cluster. The spy images suggest that the NS160 will embrace a coloured TFT unit, marking a departure from its previous instrumentation.

This move aligns with the industry trend towards more advanced and visually appealing displays. The inspiration for this upgrade reportedly stems from the 2024 Bajaj Chetak, reflecting the brand's commitment to incorporating cutting-edge technology across its range.

Furthermore, the NS160 is set to boast updated switchgear, and a multifunction button on the left-hand side switchgear has been spotted in the spy shots. It is speculated that this button will serve as a control hub for the TFT display, providing riders with a seamless and intuitive interface to navigate through various functionalities.

Powerful Performance Unchanged, Comprehensive Update Expected

While the NS160 is renowned for its robust 160.3 cc single-cylinder engine delivering 17 bhp of power and a maximum torque of 14.6 Nm through a 5-speed gearbox, sources suggest that no significant changes are expected in the powertrain. However, Bajaj promises a comprehensive update throughout the NS series, hinting at a holistic enhancement beyond the power unit.

Aside from the anticipated instrument cluster and switchgear upgrades, the NS160 is also expected to receive a refreshed headlamp design, further contributing to its aesthetic appeal and overall modernization.

Pricing Update and Market Impact

Currently priced at Rs 1.37 lakh (ex-showroom), the Bajaj Pulsar NS160 is poised for a price hike post-update. Enthusiasts should brace themselves for an increase of at least Rs 10,000, bringing the expected new price to nearly Rs 1.5 lakhs.

While the increase may seem substantial, it is anticipated that the enhanced features and overall updates will justify the uptick, making the NS160 an even more compelling option in the competitive mid-range motorcycle segment.

As the testing phase progresses and more details emerge, motorcycle enthusiasts eagerly await the official unveiling of the updated Bajaj Pulsar NS160, poised to set new benchmarks in performance, technology, and design within the Indian two-wheeler market.
