The 2020 BS6 Bajaj Pulsar NS160 has been launched in India. There is just one BS6 variant on offer, which is the twin disc model (getting a disc brake up front and at the rear). The BS6 Pulsar NS160 is priced at Rs. 1.03 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi) which is about Rs. 9,000 more expensive than the BS4 twin disc variant. Usually, we have seen that the converting an existing two-wheeler from BS4 to BS6 results in a marginal drop in the power output but the Bajaj Pulsar NS160 is bucking this trend by making more power than the outgoing model.
