Bajaj has launched a new Pulsar N160 variant in India with gold USD front forks and a single-piece seat, priced at ₹1.24 lakh ex-showroom (Delhi), slotting between the dual-channel ABS model and the top split-seat USD-fork trim.
What’s New On This Bajaj Pulsar N160 Variant?
- Upside-down (USD) front forks finished in gold, replacing conventional telescopic units.
- Single-piece seat instead of the sportier split-seat layout.
- New single-piece grab rail in place of split units.
Bajaj Pulsar N160 says USD forks improve handling, stability and shock absorption on broken roads, while the one-piece seat offers better rider–pillion comfort, targeting family buyers who preferred a continuous seat in internal research.
