The 160cc segment just got more interesting!
Say hello to the Pulsar N160, a motorcycle that’s shaking things up with features you’d normally expect on bigger, more expensive bikes!
But here’s the real kicker: it’s assembled right here in Sri Lanka. That means world-class performance, now with a local touch.
Designed for those who want more out of their daily ride: more power, more control, more head-turning style, the N160 brings advanced engineering to the streets we know best.
From its refined build to the premium tech packed under the tank, the Pulsar N160 is built for Sri Lankan roads and riders. Let’s break down why this one’s become the talk of the town.
1. Dual Channel ABS – The finest in the 160cc Sports Segment
When you’re riding through Colombo’s unpredictable traffic and need to brake suddenly, you want to stay upright.
The Pulsar N160 premium safety system becomes the first 160cc sports bike in Sri Lanka to offer Dual Channel ABS, automatically preventing wheel lockup when you need to stop fast.
The system works by monitoring both wheels independently and adjusting brake pressure when it detects a potential skid. Combined with wider disc brakes front and rear, this Pulsar N160 premium braking system delivers the kind of stopping power you’d expect from more expensive motorcycles.
When other bikes in this segment are still using basic braking systems, the N160 sets a new standard for safety.
2. All-New Refined Engine with Torque on Demand
Stop-and-go traffic can be frustrating when your bike keeps running out of steam at low revs. The N160’s 164.82cc engine addresses this with its “Torque on Demand” feature, which maintains 85% of peak power across a significantly wider RPM range than typical 160cc engines.
What this means for your daily ride is simple: less gear hunting in traffic, more responsive acceleration when you need it, and better overtaking ability on open roads. The engine produces 15.7 PS and 14.65 Nm of torque, but the real magic is how that power is delivered smoothly, whether you’re crawling through gridlock or speeding through intercity tracks.
3. Bi-functional LED Headlight System
Riding after dark in Sri Lanka often means dealing with poorly lit roads and unpredictable obstacles. The N160’s LED projector headlamp cuts through darkness more effectively than the halogen units found on most 160cc bikes, giving you better visibility of the road ahead.
The signature “naked wolf” LED DRLs aren’t just for show either. They increase your visibility to other vehicles during the day, which is crucial when navigating busy intersections and heavy traffic. The combination creates a distinctive front-end appearance while delivering practical safety benefits.
This Pulsar N160 premium lighting system gives you the confidence to ride at any hour, whether you’re commuting home late from work or taking weekend rides on less familiar roads.
4. New-Age Styling with Smart Engineering
The N160’s naked streetfighter look immediately sets it apart from the conservative styling of most 160cc bikes. The dual-tone colour options feature darker shades at the front, transitioning to lighter tones at the rear, creating visual depth that makes the bike appear more expensive than it is.
But the styling isn’t just about looks. The sporty underbelly exhaust is positioned at the motorcycle’s centre of gravity, improving balance and handling. Combined with 37mm telescopic front forks and a Nitrox monoshock rear suspension, the N160 handles with the precision of bikes costing significantly more.
5. Local Assembly Advantage
Having your motorcycle assembled locally brings real benefits beyond just supporting the economy. The N160 is built at DPMC’s Ranna facility using 26 locally-manufactured components developed with seven Sri Lankan suppliers.
This local supply chain means faster parts availability and more responsive service support. With over 1,500 authorised dealers across the island, you’re never far from genuine parts or professional service. Whether you’re in Colombo or rural areas, the service network ensures your bike stays in top condition.
Local assembly also enables DPMC to maintain quality control while keeping prices competitive against fully imported alternatives in the same category.
This partnership between Bajaj Sri Lanka and DPMC ensures that Sri Lankan riders get international quality with local support.
