Bajaj Auto has expanded its premium commuter motorcycle portfolio with the launch of the Pulsar N160 S and Pulsar N160 SS, introducing new technology and performance-focused enhancements to the popular Pulsar N160 platform. The new motorcycles are designed for riders seeking improved performance, enhanced safety, and modern connectivity while retaining the everyday practicality that has helped the Pulsar brand remain one of India’s best-known motorcycle lineups.
The company confirmed that the newly introduced variants will be sold alongside the existing standard Pulsar N160, giving customers additional choices depending on their preferred feature set and budget.

New 165cc Engine Delivers Improved Performance
Both motorcycles are powered by a newly developed 165cc, four-valve engine producing 18.2 bhp. Bajaj says the updated powertrain is engineered to deliver stronger acceleration and smoother power delivery.
According to the company, the motorcycles can accelerate from 0 to 60 km/h in approximately 4.5 seconds, making them among the quickest models in their segment.
The motorcycles also introduce an Electronic Throttle Body (ETB) system that enables more precise throttle control while supporting several electronic rider-assistance technologies.
Multiple Ride Modes for Different Road Conditions
The ETB system allows riders to choose from four dedicated riding modes:
- Rain
- Road
- Sport
- Off-road
Each mode adjusts throttle response to better suit changing road and weather conditions, helping riders balance performance and control.
Crawl Technology for City Traffic
One of the standout additions is Crawl Technology, a feature designed to reduce rider fatigue during slow-moving traffic.
The system helps the motorcycle move smoothly at very low speeds, minimizing frequent clutch and throttle inputs in congested urban conditions.
Premium Features on the Pulsar N160 SS
The flagship Pulsar N160 SS receives several exclusive upgrades, including:
- Responsive traction control
- 5-inch TFT instrument cluster
- Smartphone navigation support with Google Maps integration
- Updated graphics
- Colored alloy wheels
- Revised handlebar position
- Improved seat ergonomics
These enhancements aim to provide a more connected and comfortable riding experience.
Available Color Options
The new motorcycles will be offered in three colors:
- Atlantic Blue
- Pearl Metallic White
- Brooklyn Black
Deliveries are expected through Bajaj dealerships across India.
Bajaj Highlights Growing Demand
Bajaj Auto says the Pulsar N160 family has continued to gain popularity among Indian riders, particularly younger customers. The company reported strong sales growth for the model range during the first half of the current calendar year, reflecting sustained demand in the premium commuter motorcycle segment.
Commenting on the launch, Sarang Kanade, Chief Business Officer – Two-Wheeler Business Unit, Bajaj Auto, said the new variants build upon the success of the Pulsar N160 platform by combining stronger performance with intelligent rider-assistance technologies that enhance everyday usability and riding confidence.
