Dhaka’s streets are alive with energy—from bustling roadside tea stalls to vibrant street art and late-night cricket matches. To be a part of this energy, the youth need a ride that can keep up, that too with style. The Bajaj Pulsar N160 is the perfect ride for the youth of Dhaka, offering power, agility, and style. Whether cruising through the narrow alleys of Old Town or heading to a trendy cafe, this bike is designed to match your pace and passion.

The question is, what makes the Pulsar N160 the ultimate choice for young riders in Bangladesh? Let’s dive in!

Why the Bajaj Pulsar N160 is the Perfect Ride for Dhaka’s Youth

Dhaka is notorious for its traffic congestion. According to the 2023 Numbeo Traffic Index, Dhaka ranks as one of the top 10 cities with the worst traffic in the world. For young riders, this means needing a bike that’s agile, fuel-efficient, and capable of handling stop-and-go traffic without breaking a sweat. The Bajaj Pulsar N160 delivers all that and more.

It is fast, stylish, and reliable. Its powerful engine handles busy streets with ease. The sleek design turns heads at every stoplight whereas fuel efficiency keeps daily rides affordable.

Agile and Nimble Design

The Pulsar N160 is designed with urban commuting in mind. Its lightweight frame and ergonomic design make it easy to manoeuvre through tight spaces, whether you’re weaving through traffic on Mirpur Road or navigating the narrow lanes of Old Town.

 

The bike’s kerb weight of just 152 kg ensures that even novice riders can handle it with ease.

Fuel Efficiency

With rising fuel prices in Bangladesh (as of March 2025, petrol prices hover around 126 BDT per litre), fuel efficiency is a top priority for young riders.

 

The Pulsar N160 delivers impressive mileage under city riding conditions, making it one of the most fuel-efficient bikes in its segment. This means more rides through Old Town without constantly worrying about refuelling.

Comfortable Riding Position

Exploring Dhaka’s streets can be exhausting, especially during long rides. The Pulsar N160 features a sporty yet comfortable riding position, with well-positioned handlebars and footpegs that reduce strain on the back and wrists.

 

Whether you’re cruising through the busy streets of Farmgate or taking a leisurely night ride along the Hatirjheel, the N160 ensures a comfortable experience.

 

Superior Performance

Dhaka’s traffic demands a ride that’s quick, responsive, and reliable. The Pulsar N160 delivers with a refined 164.82cc single-cylinder oil-cooled FI engine, generating 15.7 PS of power and 14.65 Nm of torque.

The wider torque band ensures 85% of peak power over a longer rev range, giving you that extra push whenever needed.

Smooth and Effortless Handling

Dodging rickshaws, speeding through open roads, or weaving through Dhaka’s famous New Market? The best-in-class 37 mm telescopic front forks and Nitrox-backed mono-shock suspension make every ride smooth.

The bike comes with a 5-speed gearbox that offers crisp and smooth gear shifts. This is particularly useful in stop-and-go traffic, where quick gear changes are often required. The gearbox is designed to handle the demands of city riding, ensuring that you’re always in control.

Whether it’s the unpredictable Old Town roads or the sleek streets of Gulshan, the Pulsar N160 offers impeccable stability.

Safety First

Braking in Dhaka’s unpredictable traffic is crucial. The dual-channel ABS braking system ensures instant and controlled stops, even at high speeds.

The roads of Dhaka can be perilous. Wider front (300 mm) and rear (230 mm) disc brakes provide precision braking. This keeps you in control in busy areas like Motijheel or Shahbagh and during rains.

Moreover, the bike features single-channel ABS (Anti-lock Braking System), which prevents wheel lock-up during sudden braking—a lifesaver on Dhaka’s chaotic roads.

Sporty and Sleek Design

The dual-tone aerodynamic profile turns heads whether you’re parked outside a trendy cafe or taking a break at a roadside tea stall. The sporty underbelly exhaust enhances handling and gives off a deep, aggressive sound, making your presence known.

The bike’s digital instrument cluster adds a touch of sophistication, displaying all the essential information in a clear and easy-to-read format. Its sleek, muscular design embodies the boldness of Dhaka’s youth.

Illuminate the Night with Advanced LED Lighting

Dhaka never sleeps, and neither should your bike, especially if you enjoy cruising the city streets at night.

The bi-functional LED projector lamp, flanked by wolf-eye DRLs, provides superior illumination, helping you navigate through Dhanmondi Lake, Hatirjheel, or the buzzing streets of Uttara at night. Whether cruising under neon city lights or cutting through the foggy winter air, your path remains clear and safe.

Bold Colours to Reflect Your Personality

The Pulsar N160 comes in striking Brooklyn Black, a shade that exudes dominance on the road. Whether you’re racing to a pop culture event in Banani or heading to a local football match, your bike will always match your energy.

The black variant exudes an enigma that’s hard to beat or miss.

Designed for the Long Ride

From daily commutes to weekend adventures, the Pulsar N160 is built for every journey.

Planning a weekend adventure to the Chittagong Hill Tracts or a boating race in Barisal? With a 14-litre fuel tank, real-time fuel economy indicator, and 165 mm ground clearance, the Pulsar N160 is ready for any journey.

Affordability: A Bike for Every Budget

In a country where the average monthly income for young professionals is around 30,000 BDT to 40,000 BDT (as per 2023 data from the Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics), affordability is key.

The Pulsar N160 is priced competitively, with an on-road price of approximately 2.42-2.69 lakh BDT (depending on location and taxes). This makes it accessible to a wide range of young riders who want a premium bike without breaking the bank.

The Pulsar N160 is Dhaka’s Youth Icon

The Bajaj Pulsar N160 goes beyond being just a ride. It is a statement. It’s the perfect bike for young Bangladeshis who want power, precision, and personality in one machine.
