160cc Bikes in Bangladesh
A small class of 158 to 162 cc bikes, and one where most prices need checking with a dealer.
3 of the 6 bikes here carry prices that have not been confirmed in over a year, and their cards say so.
Why the prices here need checking
Five bikes sit in this class: TVS's two Apache RTR 160s, Bajaj's Pulsar NS160, which Bajaj no longer lists, Haojue's DR 160 and Aprilia's SXR 160 scooter. Only the SXR carries a current price, Tk 4,38,000 from Runner's Aprilia shop. TVS publishes specifications for its Apaches on its Bangladesh website but no price, and the 4V still carries a price from January 2022. The Bajaj and Haojue entries are older catalogue listings whose prices date from the same period. Treat every price in this class as a starting point for a conversation with a dealer.
How they compare on paper
The Pulsar NS160 is quoted at 16.8 bhp and the Apache RTR 160 4V at 16.28, both ahead of the DR 160's 15, the Apache 2V's 13.95 and the SXR's 10.9 PS. The Pulsar has single channel ABS recorded and Runner states ABS on the SXR's front disc; the Pulsar is the heaviest at 151 kg. The Apache 2V carries the most fuel, 16 litres against 12 for the other three motorcycles and 7 on the SXR, and the DR 160 lists petal discs at both ends and six gears.

Common questions
Why do so many bikes stop at 160 or 165cc?
Imported motorcycles have long been capped at 165 cc in Bangladesh, so many models are sold at or just under that size. Since BRTA's notification of 11 October 2023 it also registers motorcycles made in Bangladesh up to 375 cc; confirm with the dealer, in writing, whether a larger bike counts as made here.
Which 160cc bike is the most powerful?
On the figures we hold, Bajaj's Pulsar NS160 at 16.8 bhp, from the old catalogue, and TVS's Apache RTR 160 4V at 16.28 bhp, from TVS's Bangladesh website.
