Updated Bajaj Pulsar NS200 Teased, to Get New Headlamp and Digital Display

Bajaj Auto launched the existing Pulsar NS200 motorcycle in March last year, after which it introduced a new red colour scheme on the motorcycle. Now, the bikemaker has released a teaser, suggesting that the Pulsar NS200 will get significant updates to the current version. Based on the teaser, the visual changes will include a new LED headlamp (as opposed to a halogen unit), integrated LED daytime running lights, and LED turn indicators. Features-wise, the bike is expected to offer a digital display, with Bluetooth connectivity, turn-by-turn navigation, and call and message alerts. The display will be the same unit as the Pulsar N160 and the Pulsar N150. The updated switchgear is also likely. Considering these changes, the new Bajaj Pulsar NS200 will likely be more expensive than the existing bike, which retails at an ex-showroom price of Rs 1.47 lakh.

Bajaj Pulsar N150, N160 Updated for 2024

For the model year 2024, Bajaj updated the Pulsar N150 and the N160 with a new LCD dash with Bluetooth connectivity as well as a couple of hardware upgrades. While the entry-level Pulsar N150 retains the same digi-analogue cluster as before, the top variant of the bike now features a Bluetooth-enabled digital display enabling you to accept/reject calls and receive mobile notifications. Moreover, the new LCD also allows you to keep a tab on the distance travelled, gear position, speed, fuel efficiency, and so on. Another update to the sportier version of the P150 – the N150 – comes in the form of the introduction of a disc brake at the rear end. Meanwhile, the front end continues to come with a 260mm disc as well as a single-channel anti-lock braking system (ABS).

While the price of the base N150 remains unchanged, the base Pulsar N160 is now more expensive than its predecessor. Thanks to dual-channel ABS (as standard), the Pulsar N160 is now offered at a starting price of Rs 1.31 lakh (ex-showroom). At the top of the heap is the high-spec Pulsar N160 (Rs 1.33 lakh, ex-showroom), which features the same digital dash as the N150.
