2024 Bajaj Pulsar N160: USD Forks, New Features, And Cosmetic Enhancements
The highlighting change that you will notice on the 2024 Bajaj Pulsar N160 is the new USD forks with a light golden finish. This is in contrast to the dark grey ones present on the NS160 and the NS200. This visual reconditioning gives the darker body frame of the Pulsar N160 a renewed attractive element. Not just this you get overhauled decals on the sides with the N160 lettering using a checkered pattern in contrasting light grey.
Not only this, the turn indicator now sheds the halogen set-up for an LED turn signal unit that ultimately improves the overall utility. Apart from this, the N160 retains its elements as usual.

To further enhance convenience, a USB charging port was also added in the February update.
