Positioned in Bajaj's allround motorcycle lineup, the 2024 Bajaj Pulsar N160 features a 164.3 cc (10 cu in) oil & air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 16 HP (11.7 kW) at 8,750 rpm while maximum torque reaches 14.7 Nm (10.8 lb-ft) at 6,750 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 97.4 HP per liter and a 2,000 rpm working window between peak torque (6,750 rpm) and peak power (8,750 rpm), the engine character is reflecting a performance-oriented street tune that balances strong mid-range pull with an energetic top-end rush.
On the scales, the Pulsar N160 measures 154 kg (340 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.1 HP/kg (9.63 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 795 mm (31.3 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,358 mm (53.5 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 14-liter (3.7 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
