Built around Modenas's sport motorcycle platform, the 2022 Modenas Pulsar NS 160 relies on a 160.3 cc (9.8 cu in) single cylinder, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 14.8 HP (10.8 kW) at 8,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 14 Nm (10.3 lb-ft) at 6,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 92.3 HP per liter and a 2,500 rpm working window between peak torque (6,000 rpm) and peak power (8,500 rpm), the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.
On the scales, the Pulsar NS 160 measures 151 kg (333 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.1 HP/kg (10.2 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 1,370 mm (53.9 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.
