Engine Displacement: 164.82 cc
The N160 features an all-new 164.82 cc single-cylinder, 2-valve, SOHC engine. Unlike the NS160, this unit is oil-cooled, which helps it maintain performance during long city idles while being significantly smoother and more refined than older Pulsar engines.
Max Power: 16 PS @ 8750 rpm
It produces a peak power of 16 PS at 8750 rpm. While the numbers are similar to its rivals, the N160 is praised for its "tractability"—it can pull cleanly from low speeds in higher gears, making it an effortless city commuter.
Max Torque: 14.65 Nm @ 6750 rpm
With 14.65 Nm of torque, the N160 offers 85% of its peak torque across a wide rev range. This "torque-on-demand" nature makes it the fastest in its segment for passing acceleration (30–70 km/h) in 3rd, 4th, and 5th gears.
Top Speed: 120 km/h
The N160 has a top speed of 120 km/h. It is designed to cruise comfortably at 85–95 km/h on the highway with minimal vibrations, thanks to its superior engine counter-balancer.
Mileage: 45–50 kmpl
In real-world conditions, riders can expect a healthy 45 to 50 kmpl. It strikes a perfect balance for young professionals and students who want a sporty look without the high fuel bills of a 200cc+ bike.
