Engine and Transmission of Bajaj Avenger 160 in Nepal

Engine Displacement: 160.37 cc

The Street 160 is powered by a 160.37 cc, single-cylinder, air-cooled, SOHC, 2-valve engine. While it shares some DNA with the Pulsar NS160, it is tuned for a much smoother and more relaxed character. The BS6 version features Fuel Injection (FI) for improved cold-weather starts—a vital upgrade for riding in the Nepal hills.

Max Power: 15 PS @ 8500 rpm

With 15 PS of power, this bike is remarkably peppy for its size. It provides a perfect balance for those who find the 220cc version a bit heavy for daily Kathmandu traffic but still want enough power for weekend highway getaways.

Max Torque: 13.5 Nm @ 7000 rpm

The 13.5 Nm of torque ensures a strong mid-range pull. This "grunt" allows you to navigate city traffic in higher gears without the engine knocking, reducing the need for constant downshifting.

Mileage: 45–50 kmpl

One of the biggest advantages of the 160 over the 220 is fuel efficiency. In real-world Nepalese conditions, it comfortably returns between 45–50 kmpl, making it a highly economical choice for a stylish daily commuter.
