**Great look and design**
In terms of looks and design, the Pulsar N160 has always been considered one of the most stylish bikes in its segment. The company has introduced new color options and graphics for the S and SS variants, which give the bike an aggressive and muscular road presence.
It retains the signature LED projector headlamp at the front, with sharp DRLs. The sculpted fuel tank and side panels give it a true street-fighter motorcycle feel. Whether you are driving on the crowded city roads or on the open highway, its sporty looks will definitely catch your attention.
**Full of modern features**
Today's riders want great features along with a powerful engine. Keeping this in mind, Bajaj has equipped the Pulsar N160 with great features. It features a fully digital instrument cluster with Bluetooth connectivity, allowing you to connect your smartphone to receive call and message alerts as well as turn-by-turn navigation. It also has a USB charging port to keep the phone charged during the ride. For safety, the bike has dual-channel ABS and multiple riding modes.
**Which variant should you choose?**
Bajaj has introduced S and SS variants keeping in mind the needs and budget of different customers. The S variant is best for riders who want a great 160cc bike on a low budget, while the SS variant is for riders who prioritize high-quality features and advanced safety. Talking about the price, the S variant is priced at ₹ 1,33,511 and the SS variant is priced at ₹ 1,42,585.
With this price, it gives tough competition to other bikes in this segment like TVS Apache RTR 160 4V and Hero Xtreme 160R. If you are looking for a bike that has a combination of style, power, new features and reliable performance, then this new model of Pulsar N160 can prove to be the right choice for you.
