The Bajaj Pulsar NS series is again in the record books. This time the Pulsar NS160 has broken the world record for the longest no-hands wheelie.

The road tester performed the no hand wheelie setting a record of 186.8 meters and breaking the existing world record of 89 meters. According the Hrishikesh Mandke the Pulsar NS160 is light enough to manage a no hands wheelie and also has a strong frame to deliver control. The powerful engine also helps initiate and maintain the wheelie, said Mandke.
