India's Bajaj Auto has launched the Pulsar N160 SS, a higher-spec version of the Pulsar N160. Peak output rises to 18.5 hp, up from 16 hp on the standard bike, and the SS adds a 5-inch TFT display and traction control. Ride-by-wire lets riders switch between four riding modes: Road, Rain, Sport, and Off-Road.

Looking at the spec sheet, cramming both traction control and a TFT into the 160cc class is the good part. Bumping peak output from 16 to 18.5 horsepower quietly matters too — honestly I didn't expect this much electronics on an oil-cooled single. Ride-by-wire with four modes is the kind of spec that gets my pulse up.

Feels like Honda's Unicorn is still more polished overall.

Packing this much electronics into a 160cc says a lot about where we are.

Google Maps mirroring on the TFT is a quietly nice touch.

Getting traction control at this price is genuinely good value.

Really? I'm more worried about long-term durability.

Going from 16 to 18.5 horsepower is a bigger jump than it sounds.

Is 18.5 horsepower still manageable for a beginner?
