Recently launched, the 2019 Modenas Kriss 110, priced at RM3,377 and the 2019 Modenas Pulsar NS160, at RM7,577, garnered a lot of interest amongst Malaysian riders, notably in the budget market. While the Pulsar NS160 is sourced from Bajaj India and rebadged, the Kriss 110 features bodywork designed by Modenas’ Malaysian engineers and manufactured by Zongshen in China before being assembled locally.
Joining the Pulsar NS200 and RS200 in Modenas’s lineup and sold as companion to the V15 cruiser, the NS160 carries an air-cooled, SOHC, twin-spark, single-cylinder mill fitted with an oil cooler displacing 160 cc. Power is claimed to be 15.2 hp at 8,500 rpm and 14.6 Nm at 6,500 rpm, fed by Bosch EFI.
With a five-speed gearbox, the Pulsar NS160 uses single hydraulic disc brakes front and rear, while ABS is omitted. With claimed weight at 142 kg and seat height set at 805 mm, the Pulsar NS160 carries fuel in a 12-litre tank.
For the budget-conscious rider wanting cheap daily transport, the Kriss 110 comes with a Euro 3, 109 cc, air-cooled single-cylinder mill that produces 6.3 hp at 8,000 rpm. Power gets to the ground via a four-speed automatic gearbox and chain final drive.
Modenas claims the 4.2-litre fuel tank will give the Kriss 110 at least 200 km of range while the under seat storage compartment has a 6.6-litre capacity. Seat height is a rider-friendly 775 mm with braking done using drum brakes front and rear with four colour choices for the Kriss 110.

NS160 got small 160cc engine + fuel injection + huge fuel tank = long range lah right?
me likey. suitable for long daily commutes. alternative to the FZ150i.
Yeahhh. Wish the ABS would be a mandatory on all NS bikes
All the Mat Moto and Kutu now very happy they can go rempit in Kesas with these two new bike
Hope they find better jobs
To a-bangang sambung bayar above , why you born so much stup##d?. no mat rempit won’t buy these Modenas..
Mat rempit know which bike with more hp..& kw vs weight..
World is more complicated & advance than you expected..
These bikes never suite any rempit chances..
According to internet sources, the real-life mileage is around 40km/l (it’s claimed to be better on highways). A 12l tank would give you approx. 480km between the fill-up.
NS160 is only air-cooled, not even liquid cooled, for long distance ride i think Yamaha FZ150i is better.
For the price of the FZ150i you will get the liquid-cooled NS200 with 200cc and 7hp more…
NS200 look nice but heavy for asian average at 160cm & below
FZ light weight suited more asian..
Indian, Arab & probably Western will choose NS.. while other Asian depends on size .
Bajaj sold in 2018: 3234k in India, 300k in Sri Lanka, 150k in Egypt (where Bajaj is market leader by far ahead of Honda), 130k in Colombia and 117k in Nigeria.
The reliability couldn’t be that bad, otherwise they wouldn’t sell >3800k of bikes all over the world. I guess it was a good idea for Modenas to go with Bajaj.
This one got top gear indicator or not? Pulsar ns200 have no such think.
Moto India kokak
Butoh pak hang
Mak hang lah bob
BMW GS310 and G310R also from India. So India’s motorcycle industries must be competent. Or Zontes anyone?
I have to confess: Zontes has an interesting design language. Additionally, they have Delphi fuel injection, Bosch ABS, …
For hot countries better buy indian brand..more reliable..
Plus indian people share their knowledge in online forum, youtube etc. in English language.
So later it inspires people from Indonesia YouTubers to share their finding..
China bike not so generous – the owner keep secret and never expose their knowledge openly..for business, shy their results, not interested??? We don’t know what the real issues.- that the reason why we avoid China bikes.
