2025 Bajaj Pulsar NS160 – What has changed?
A recent video posted online shows the updated 2025 model of the Pulsar NS160. While the motorcycle looks entirely similar to the outgoing model, it has two new important feature add-ons: ride modes and navigation.
The digital console on the NS160 now shows the option to switch between the three different ride modes. These include – Rain, Road, and Off-road. The main difference among all three ride modes is the ABS intervention and sensitivity.
As per the video details, the riding modes change the ABS settings to avoid the loss of control in the changing riding environment. Moreover, the digital console now supports turn-by-turn navigation through Bluetooth connectivity.
Apart from these two changes, the rest of the motorcycle is unchanged. The NS160 continues to offer sharp styling and beautiful colour combinations to match its sporty persona.
The now E20-compliant 160.3cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine makes 16.9 bhp and 14.6 Nm of peak power and torque. Other key hardware highlights include the USD front forks, 17-inch alloy wheels, dual-channel ABS, and a monoshock rear suspension.
The new upgrades have been added with a slight revision in the pricing. The new model is now Rs 1,000 costlier than the previous model.

Our verdict
The new Pulsar NS160 now offers more features and sporty appeal without leaving a dent in the pocket of new buyers. It competes with the TVS Apache RTR 160 4V, which already offers ride modes and turn-by-turn navigation but at a premium price.
