HH Bajaj, the sole distributor of Bajaj motorcycles in Nepal, has announced the launch of the all-new Pulsar NS 160 TD (twin disc) in the market. 

The Pulsar NS 160 TD comes at an introductory price of Rs286,900, the company said in a press statement.

The new bike features twin disc brakes, a sharper design and new colour schemes. It will be available in four dual tone colours—passion red, pearl metallic white, saffire blue and glossy pewter grey. Apart from its dual disc brake set-up, the new Pulsar NS 160 TD also features split seats, split grab rails and a longer wheelbase. The new rear disc brake is a 230mm unit, while the front disc is 240mm. Suspension duties are handled by telescopic forks up front and by a gas-charged Mono shock at the rear.

The company said that the Pulsar NS 160 TD continues to ride on 17-inch wheels which are shod with 90/90 (front) and 120/80 (rear) tires. Providing power to the new Pulsar is its 160.3cc oil cooled single cylinder engine producing 15.5 Ps @ 8500 rpm and 14.6Nm of torque at 6,500rpm, which is sent to the rear wheel via a 5-speed manual gearbox with short ratios.

Pulsar NS 160 TD’s variant has also undergone significant improvements in noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) due to engine optimisation and chassis touch points, the company said. The new bike targets the modern youth who seeks comfort in performance and mileage, but is also looking for a sportier option, it said.

The bike has a top speed of 120 km/h and weighs 145kg with fuel tank capacity of 12 liters. High ground clearance of 167 mm ensures smooth and comfortable ride on all terrains. Following the trend of modern bikes, the Pulsar NS 160 TD comes equipped with a five-gear system.

Shekhar Golchha, managing director of Hansraj Hulaschand, said, “One key factor that helps Bajaj lead the market is its focus on outstanding product design and its superior engine technology. When it comes to product design and engine technology, Bajaj has always proved to be outstanding.”

“With the addition of this powerful model, we are continuing Bajaj’s legacy. And with this new addition to the Pulsar family, we shall again steer the conception of new industry segment. We are confident that Pulsar NS 160 TD will meet the riders' expectation.”
