Not long ago, Bajaj Auto updated the Pulsar N160 with a Bluetooth-enabled digital dash enabling users to accept/reject calls and receive mobile notifications. And, in a few months since then, Bajaj has launched a new variant of the Pulsar N160 in the Indian market. Priced at Rs 1.40 lakh (ex-showroom), this new variant gets a gold-finished upside-down (USD) fork at the front, while the dual-channel ABS variant (Rs 1.33 lakh, ex-showroom) of the bike continues to offer 37mm telescopic front forks.
Besides the USD fork, the new variant of the Bajaj Pulsar N160 brings turn-by-turn navigation and three ABS modes (Road, Rain, and Off-Road). The latter allows riders to choose their preferred braking intervention level depending on the circumstances. The motorcycle is available in four different colours: Red, White, Blue, and Black.
