According to a media report, Bajaj is planning to launch a new variant of the Pulsar NS160 with a rear disc brake setup. The new variant is likely to be priced higher than the single disc brake variant, which costs Rs. 82,624 (ex-showroom, Delhi).



Spy images indicate that the first bikes have started arriving at dealerships. In terms of styling, the rear disc brake variant looks similar to the standard NS160. It features a triangular headlamp with integrated position lamps and dual-tone bodywork. It comes with a stepped seat with split grab rail at the rear.



The Pulsar NS160 with rear disc brake comes equipped with telescopic type front forks and has a monoshock suspension at the rear. It rides on 17-inch alloy wheels finished in black. It is expected to be powered by the same 160.3cc, single-cylinder, air-cooled engine as the single disc variant. This engine produces 15.2 BHP @ 8,500 rpm and 14.6 Nm of torque @ 6,500 rpm.



The rear disc brake is expected to make the new variant of the Pulsar NS160 slightly heavier than the single disc brake version.

Additional Feature is always welcome. Just that it would have been nice if the NS200 was made a bit more exclusive.

Right now the NS160 & NS200 are nearly identical. Which is a kind of a disappointment for the ones who want to get the NS200.
