Bajaj Auto is all set to launch the all-new updated Bajaj Pulsar N160 next month, with its official debut scheduled for August 12. The launch is part of the brand’s 25th anniversary celebrations, with Bajaj already confirming that as many as 10 substantially new Pulsar models across the 125 cc to 160 cc segment will be introduced over the coming months.
The 2026 Bajaj Pulsar N160 is expected to get minor design updates along with new graphics and fresh colour options. While the overall styling is likely to remain unchanged. Currently, the Bajaj Pulsar N160 is priced from Rs. 1.17 lakh (ex-showroom). With all the expected updates, the price of the 2026 Bajaj Pulsar N160 could increase to around Rs. 1.30 lakh (ex-showroom).

Bajaj Auto is also expected to introduce a new iteration of its 164.82 cc, air-cooled engine. The current engine uses a 2-valve head, but the updated version is likely to feature a more modern 4-valve head. At present, the engine produces 16 PS at 8,750 rpm and 14.65 Nm of torque at 6,750 rpm. With the transition to a 4-valve setup, both the power and torque figures are expected to increase slightly.
Along with the mechanical updates, Bajaj is also expected to introduce a new TFT instrument console on the updated Pulsar N160. As of now, no Bajaj motorcycle comes equipped with a TFT display, making it the brand’s first bike to feature this technology. The new console is also expected to offer Bluetooth smartphone connectivity, turn-by-turn navigation, and SMS and call alerts. This TFT console is likely to be introduced on other upcoming Bajaj motorcycles as well.
