Bajaj Pulsar N160 E20: Clear All Your Queries Here Now..

FRONT DESIGN

From the front, there is no change in the design. you will get the same LED projector light that consists of both high and low beams. whereas the LED positioning light is also the same with no difference, moving on to the front fender is also the same double-layer type.

Besides this, to mount the Licence plate bajaj has provided some space above the headlight and the front fairing is not available in this bike so you cannot save yourself from a large wind blast during a highway ride.

Now here comes the change in the N160 you will get halogen-equipped clear lens turn indicators whereas, in the Pulsar N250, you will get LED turn indicators. and side view mirrors are bolted on the handlebar because you don’t have a large fairing.

SIDE VIEW

Talking about the side profile of the bike it’s pretty much the same as the N250 except for one thing that is exhaust. yes in the 160 you will get an underbelly exhaust whereas with the N250 you will get a short side exhaust pipe.

And personally speaking, I don’t like the underbelly exhaust design bike those bikes look incomplete to me. but you may like that kind of design it’s the personal choice of everyone.

Talking about seats and fuel tanks they are exactly identical to the N250. besides this, you will get a tyre hugger at the rear wheel to say your bike from dirt and a mud flap is also provided below the monoshocker to save the shocker from mud.

I love the design of the wheels and if you buy a dual-channel ABS model you will get black colour wheels with racing stripes over them and if you buy single-channel ABS then you will get silver colour Alloy with racing decals.

Apart from that, the engine cowl is also provided with N160 and this engine cowl is made up of fibre plastic, not metal so it’s just a design element and it’s not going to say your bike from underbelly damage.

On the left side of the bike, Bajaj has added a saree guard which is well designed and not looks awkward and upfront for rider protection a two-piece leg guard has provided that not only saves your legs but also prevents engine damage.

and last, the chain remains exposed in the N160 model means no full chain cover is provided so you have to get your chain sprocket cleaned often. I think I have explained almost everything and the rest of the things you can see in the images we have provided.

REARVIEW

Talking about the rear view N160 is identical to the N250. but you will see only one change here the Halogrn equipped indicators and the rest of the things like the Licence plate holder, dual strips type LED taillight and grab handles all are the same.

HANDLEBAR

Another change here is the handlebar in the Pulsar F250 you get a clip-on handlebar but with the naked Pulsar N250/160 you will get a bar-type handle that is slightly bent toward the rider and gives good control over the bike.

SWITCHGEAR CLUSTER

One thing, I like about the new pulsar is that the company is offering an illuminated switch gear cluster that makes it easy to operate at the night during rides. and a new rider doesn’t need to find them blindly.

The left side cluster consists of four switches which are the Passing/High & low beam/ Turn indicator and the horn switch.

Similarly, on the right side switch gear cluster you will get three switches which are the Engine kill switch/the headlight on/off and the self-start switch.

INFINITY DISPLAY

The speedometer is also identical to the N250 with no change.

This engine is coupled with a 5-speed constant mesh gearbox that delivers power smoothly to the rear wheel via chain and sprocket arrangement. and to shift gear you have a toe shifter.

When you ride this bike it feels smoother and when you twist the throttle it pulls effortlessly which is sufficient to put a smile on your face. and as this bike is 160cc it has a nice Initial, mid and top-end power range.

and you can cruise effortlessly above 80 kmph all day and the engine will not show you any sign of loss of power. and one more thing if you want to ride this bike on long routes you can ride it it’s absolutely fantastic.

Talking about the suspension system the Pulsar N160 dual ABS comes with 37 mm telescopic suspension and single-channel ABS comes with thin 31 mm telescopic forks. Besides this, at the rear, you will get Monoshocker and this suspension system absorbs bumps efficiently and keeps you in comfort even on broken roads.

Talking about brakes you will get front and rear disc brakes with ABS and these brake callipers offer great bite and offer good stopping power.

So this bike comes with a muscular design look at the bike each and every panel of the bike looks muscular & sharp which attracts people. up front, this bike gets new fully LED headlights. headlights split into two peaces for low and high beam chambers.

TVS has changed the design of Led positioning lights and now they look like a beast eye really impressive. and rear taillights also comes with LED. but the indicators are still halogen type bu they looks cool.

Another change TVS has done is on some body panels of the Apache RTR 160 gets carbon treatment/finish that makes the bike looks premium. besides this, the company has added a new fully digital speedo meter that replaced the older semi-digital unit.

when you compare the Pulsar N160 with the Apache RTR160 you will find some changes here like Apache RTR160 looks more muscular than the Pulsar N160.

Apache RTR 160 comes with fully digital speedometer with bluettoh connectivity but Pulsar N160 gets semi digital instrument.

Brakes lever comes with metal finish whereas Pulsar n160 come in black color and personally i like the Apache RTR160 because it has a side mounted exhaust and N160 comes with under belly exhaust and i don’t like the design of underbelly design.

NOTE: I personally like the Apache RTR160 in terms of design but it doesnt mean that N160 is not attractive.

ENGINE

TVS Apache RTR 160 2V comes with 159.7 cc, single cylinder, Air cooled SONC engine that produced 16.04 PS power with three riding modes and it gives 48 kmpl of mileage.

whereas NS160 comes with 164.82 cc, single cylinder oil/air cooled SOHC Fi engine that develops 16 ps of power and there is no riding modes pulsar is offering.

Both bikes offers great throttle response but you get dual channel ABS whereas Apache RTR160 2V gets single channel dual channel ABS.

Conclusion

Guys, no doubt Pulsar N160 is a great product and you also have bigger N250 model. but Apache RTR160 is offering fully digital speedo with Bluetooth connectivity, super moto ABS, clip on handlebar and three riding modes.

so i belive that Apache RTR160 is slightly better and you also have RTR 160 4V which is well equipped and comes with great design. so Apache RTR 160 is our choice.

NOTE:- In case you have decided to buy N160 then you can buy it it doesnt have any problem.
