Bajaj has launched the refreshed versions of its popular Pulsar NS160 and NS200 motorcycles.
The key updates focus on aesthetics and technology, with both bikes receiving new LED headlights, DRLs, and a digital instrument cluster with Bluetooth connectivity.
The most noticeable change is the adoption of a new LED headlight on both models. The NS160 features DRLs shaped like lightning bolts, while the NS200 gets full LED lighting, including LED turn signals.
Both bikes now sport a new digital instrument cluster, similar to the one seen on the recently updated Pulsar N150 and N160. This new dash allows riders to pair their smartphones for call and message notifications.
Mechanically, the updated Pulsar NS160 and NS200 remain identical to their predecessors. The NS160 continues to be powered by a 160.3cc air-cooled engine, while the NS200 retains its 199.5cc liquid-cooled engine.
The new Pulsar NS160 starts at Rs 1.46 lakh, competing with the TVS Apache RTR 160 4V (Rs 1.24 lakh – 1.38 lakh) and the Hero Xtreme 160R 4V (Rs 1.27 lakh – Rs 1.37 lakh).
The updated NS200, priced at Rs 1.55 lakh, takes on rivals like the TVS Apache RTR 200 4V (Rs 1.47 lakh) and the Honda Hornet 2.0 (Rs 1.39 lakh).
