Bajaj has just dropped the hottest version yet of the Pulsar N160 โ a proper single-seat setup paired with those eye-catching golden upside-down front forks. Price? A cool โน1,23,983 (ex-showroom Delhi). This isnโt some random update; Bajaj straight-up listened to riders who kept saying, โBro, give us a single-seat N160 that looks aggressive and handles even better.โ So here it is โ mean, lean, and ready to roast city streets.
Where This New Variant Fits in the Line-up
The Pulsar N160 family now has four proper options so nobody feels left out:
- Base Single-Seat (twin disc, no ABS) โ โน1.13 lakh
- Dual-Channel ABS version โ โน1.17 lakh
- New Single-Seat + Golden USD Forks (the one weโre hyped about) โ โน1.24 lakh
- Top-spec Dual-Seat + USD + Dual-Channel ABS โ โน1.27 lakh
What Makes It Look So Damn Good
Those golden USD forks completely change the game. The front end now screams premium and sporty at the same time. Add the single-seat cowl and the bike suddenly looks longer, lower, and way more aggressive than the dual-seat version. You still get the same sharp LED projector headlamp, LED DRLs that look like wolf eyes, glitter-pattern LED tail light, and a USB charger so your phone never dies mid-ride.
Higher variants also flash turn-by-turn navigation and ABS modes on the digital cluster โ proper modern stuff.
Size, Weight & Hardware โ No Surprises, All Good
Everything else stays exactly how N160 fans love it:
- Wheelbase: 1,348 mm
- Seat height: 795 mm (easy for most Indian riders)
- Ground clearance: 165 mm
- Kerb weight: 152 kg
- Fuel tank: 14 litres
- Tyres: 100/80-17 front, chunky 130/70-17 rear
- Brakes: 300 mm front disc + 230 mm rear disc (ABS available on higher models)
The golden USD forks are the only big hardware upgrade, but trust me, they make the bike feel planted and confident while scrubbing off speed or attacking corners.
Same Punchy 160cc Heart โ Because It Didnโt Need Fixing
No engine changes, and honestly, no one wanted any. The 164.82 cc oil-cooled single still pumps out 16 PS at 8,750 rpm and 14.65 Nm at 6,750 rpm. Mid-range punch is addictive, city riding is buttery smooth, and the 5-speed box feels perfectly ratioed. Itโs the kind of motor that makes you grin every time you whack open the throttle in 2nd or 3rd gear.

Final Verdict โ Should You Buy It?
If you ride solo 99% of the time, love that single-seat hooligan look, and want your daily bike to turn heads at every signal โ this new Pulsar N160 with golden USD forks is basically made for you. At โน1.24 lakh, itโs still cheaper than most 200cc nakeds but looks and feels a class above everything else in the 160 cc segment.
Bajaj just proved once again why Pulsar still rules the hearts of Indian bikers โ they listen, they deliver, and they do it without burning a hole in your wallet.
