Built around Bajaj's naked motorcycle platform, the 2025 Bajaj Pulsar NS160 relies on a 164.3 cc (10 cu in) oil & air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 17.2 HP (12.6 kW) at 9,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 14.6 Nm (10.8 lb-ft) at 7,250 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 104.7 HP per liter and a 1,750 rpm working window between peak torque (7,250 rpm) and peak power (9,000 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 NS160 measures 152 kg (335 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.11 HP/kg (8.84 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 1,372 mm (54 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 12-liter (3.2 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
