      2024 Bajaj Pulsar N160, N150 Launched – New Tech Inbound

      by

      2024 Bajaj Pulsar N160 & N1502024 Bajaj Pulsar N160 will take the fight directly to TVS Apache RTR 160 4V which has been considered a benchmark in the segmentWith progressing technology, Bajaj is playing catch-up to keep its popular Pulsar motorcycle lineup up-to-date. After offering USD front forks with Pulsar NS160 and Pulsar NS200, Bajaj has now turned its progressive gaze at Pulsar N150 and Pulsar N160. The 2024 Bajaj Pulsar N160 and Pulsar N150 bring technology that is first-ever for Bajaj.2024 Bajaj Pulsar N160 & Pulsar N150Bajaj has been the de facto king of performance commuter motorcycles in India. With the launch of Pulsar series of motorcycles, Bajaj carved out a niche for itself. Bajaj developed Pulsar series to provide tech-laden, good-looking, performant and sporty commuter motorcycles for the average Indian without breaking his/her bank.The new technology that 2024 Bajaj Pulsar N160 and Pulsar N150 feature is a fully digital instrument LCD cluster. The headline figure, however, is that this instrument cluster now supports Bluetooth connectivity with a dedicated Bajaj Ride Connect App. To cycle through this interface on the go, there is a new Mode button on left switchgear.2024 Pulsar N160 price starts from Rs. 1,30,560 (ex-sh) offered in three shades – Black, Red and Blue, while Pulsar N150 price starts from Rs. 1,17,677 offered in Black and White shades. Where design is concerned, 2024 Pulsar N160 and N150 look identical to their predecessors, drawing inspiration from their bigger brother, Pulsar N250.Bajaj Ride Connect AppNew features!With the addition of Bluetooth connectivity, users can now connect their smartphone with their beloved Pulsar N160 and N150. Doing so, you get to accept or reject calls on the go, mobile notification alerts, mobile signal strength and battery level. Apart from that, gear position indicator, distance to empty, instant fuel economy and average fuel economy are notable features.Design, chassis and other cycle parts are the same as before including body panels, fuel tank, and headlamp assembly. Pulsar N160’s 164.82cc DTS-i engine makes 15.8 bhp of power and 14.65 Nm of torque. We can expect fuel economy figures of around 45 kmpl from this engine.Pulsar N150, on the other hand, gets a 149.68cc engine that generates 14.3 bhp and 13.5 Nm, mated to a 5-speed gearbox. Bajaj promises best-in-class power and torque, best-in-class passing acceleration (30-70 kph), smoothest gear shifts and an accentuated exhaust note with both bikes.Bajaj New Console FeaturesStriking designBajaj Pulsar N160 shares most of its features with its elder sibling N250. It gets naked wolf LED DRLs, Bi-LED projector headlamps, and a digital instrument console like N250 with features like gear position indicator. Overall motorcycle design is muscular and aggressive that fits the bill for younger riders.2024 Bajaj Pulsar N160 and Pulsar N150 are steps in the right direction. With modern technology, Bajaj better positions its products as opposed to Apache 160 and Apache 160 4V from TVS, FZ lineup from Yamaha, Xtreme 160R 4V and Gixxer 150 from Suzuki. More

      Honda 350cc ADV Design Leaked – Himalayan Rival With Off-Road Hardware

      by

      Honda CRF300L. Image for illustration only.Other than Royal Enfield Himalayan 450, Honda CB350 ADV will rival Yezdi Adventure and upcoming Hero Xtreme 440 as wellWith travel currently being one of the most popular trending activities, it has proportionally increased appeal towards motorcycling and adventure riding. After Hero MotoCorp, Royal Enfield has cashed in this segment with Himalayan 411 and now Himalayan 450. Honda is now challenging Himalayan 450 with a new contender. Let’s take a look.Honda CB350 ADV Design PatentedThis would be Honda’s first attempt at proper ADV off-road motorcycle segment, not counting CB200X. The target in sight is definitely Royal Enfield Himalayan 450. But Honda’s new ADV will lock horns with other off-road motorcycles like Yezdi Adventure and upcoming Hero Xpulse 440 built on Harley-Davidson X440’s platform.Honda CB350 ADV DesignOne look at Honda CB350 ADV design patented, your first thought might go to Royal Enfield Himalayan 411. That said, there are only so many ways to design a purpose-built ADV motorcycle. Something similar as observed when we compared Royal Enfield Classic 350 with Honda’s new CB350 Classic. These initial observations are based on a 2D side profile flat image. Final production-spec motorcycle in 3D and with surface finishing will surely look very different than Himalayan. On closer inspection, we can see design differences between Honda and Royal Enfield, even though overall approach is similar.Both get a beak, large windscreen, side guards to mount luggage, headlight guard and more. Honda is going for a round headlight too. Rear subframe has a flat pillion seat that is set higher for comfort. Pillion grabrail will have a luggage rack too. We can see rider knuckle guards on handlebar as well.2023 Honda CB200XSimilar componentry as CB350Differences are more pronounced with selection of componentry. Honda is going for a cradle chassis that houses an air-cooled single-cylinder engine with a single up-swept exhaust. Honda is going for RSU telescopic front forks with long travel and these get fork gaiters too. At the rear, Honda CB350 ADV gets twin shock absorbers.For context, Royal Enfield Himalayan offers USD telescopic front forks and rear mono-shock setup. This is too early to say based on a single 2D image, but front wheel is likely to be around 19-inches and not 21-inches like Himalayan and Hero Xpulse. Wheels are wire-spoke type and we hope Honda is giving tubeless dual purpose tyres.Considering everything, we think Honda is taking CB350 and extracting an ADV version of it. And that explains all the component choices that Honda has made. Currently, CB350 has a 348cc air-cooled engine generating 20.78 bhp and 30 Nm, mated to a 5-speed gearbox. We hope Honda is eking out more performance out of this engine to better rival Himalayan and Yezdi Adventure. Honda could launch it in 2025 and just like CB350, it is likely to be a global product as well. More
