Trending Questions on TVS Bikes - Answered by Autocar Experts
Hello, I am an avid Autocar India reader and a regular visitor to www.autocarindia.com. I also enjoy your podcasts. I wish to buy a 100cc motorcycle. Currently, I ride a Honda Dio and previously used the Splendor and Platina. Now, I have shortlisted the Honda Shine 100 and the TVS Sport. My usage will be strictly city-centric, approximately 10 to 40 km daily. My expectations are comfort, good suspension, easy maintenance, fuel efficiency, and reliability. Kindly guide me. Thank you.
Iβm 27 (5β²9β³) and my father is 60 (5β²11β³) with a broad upper body. I want a bike (on-road budget under βΉ2.4 lakh) that fits both our heights and body types. My riding will be mostly city and highway, with some casual off-roading and long trips. Iβm considering the Yezdi ADV, Yezdi Roadster, Royal Enfield Hβness, TVS Apache RTX 300, and Hero Xpulse. Which of these suits both of us best?
Considering your use case, we would advise choosing between the TVS Apache RTX 300 and the Hero Xpulse 210. The RTX is an adventure bike, which will make it great on the road, while the Xpulse is a dualsport, which will be more capable during serious off-roading.
If you want a more road-biased machine, then the Honda CB350 H'ness (or either of its siblings), the Royal Enfield Classic / Bullet 350 and the TVS Ronin would make for a good option.
Take a test ride of these machines to help decide which one is best for you.
I currently own a Honda Livo for my daily commute from point A to point B, and I want to upgrade to a new bike in the 125 cc to 220 cc segment for the same purpose. My daily ride is about 20 km in the city. Iβm considering bikes like TVS Ronin, Apache, Bajaj Pulsar N160, Hero Glamour, and Honda Hornet. I want reliability and comfort for daily commuting.
All the options you've shortlisted are great at being decently reliable point A to point B runabouts.
Going for a 125cc or 150/160cc option like the Hero Glamour, Bajaj Pulsar N160, or the TVS Apache RTR 160 4V will give you considerably more fuel efficiency than a bigger machine like the TVS Ronin, but at the cost of performance.
We'd recommend taking a test ride of all the options you're looking at and then deciding.
Iβm planning to buy a new scooter since my Ntorq has completed over 50,000 km and needs some rest. My daily running is about 50 km. I had initially planned to buy the Rizta 3.7, but now Yamaha is launching the Indie Twin. Should I wait for it? Also, when can we expect the EC-06 to launch?
From our experience with the practical and comfortable River Indie, it seems likely that the Yamaha EC-06 will carry forward those qualities as well. However, it remains to be seen what Yamaha's sales and service network for its EVs shapes up to be, and that is a crucial factor to consider.
We would recommend you stick to the proven mainstream players like the Ather Rizta, Bajaj Chetak and TVS iQube if you're looking for an electric scooter right now.
Iβm planning to buy a quick and comfortable scooter for city rides. Iβm 43, my daily commute is about 40 km, and my height is 5'4". The budget is around 2 lakhs.
I have a 9-year-old Pulsar 150 and want to change. Iβm 35 now. I have seen the Honda SP160, Bajaj NS200, and Apache RTR 160 in the same segment. I am also considering different types like the CB350, Royal Enfield Hunter, and Avenger Cruise. Iβm confused about which one to buy. Any other options? I ride 60-80 km per week and occasionally go for long drives.
I want to buy an electric scooter for myself. My daily riding distance is 30β40 km, and the roads are good. I care about good handling, a smooth ride, and comfort. Iβm considering the Vida VX2 Plus - is it a good choice?
The Vida VX2 Plus you have shortlisted is a good option from a proven player like Hero, and will be comfortable.
Other options you can also look at are the TVS iQube 3.1 and the Bajaj Chetak 3001, because both are comfortable options from reputed manufacturers and will also serve you well.
I currently own a Honda CBR 250R and want to buy a new bike. Iβm experienced - Iβve done many 2,000 km rides. I will travel to office 3 days a week, do short rides on weekends, and plan 2β3 long tours every year. My height is 5β²7β³ and Iβm considering buying a TVS RTX 300. Is it a good buy for me?
If you are comfortable with the size and heft of the TVS Apache RTX 300, then it is certainly worth considering because it will fit your needs quite well.
If you want something in the same price range that is lighter and more manageable, then bikes like the Bajaj Pulsar NS400Z and the KTM 250 Duke are worth considering.
Take exhaustive test rides of all the machines you shortlist before you decide.
Hi Autocar, Iβm based in Delhi and looking for a daily-commuter bike that can also handle occasional long trips to places like Manali or Leh. My maximum budget is βΉ2.3 lakh. Iβm 6β²1β³, so seat height is not a problem. Iβm not interested in the Classic 350.
In the adventure bike space, you can take a look at the TVS Apache RTX 300, which will be the best all-rounder because of its form factor. If you want a neo-retro bike, you can consider the Honda CB350 models, Triumph Speed T4 and the TVS Ronin. They all are smooth, comfortable, and have reasonable performance, although the Triumph will have a noticeable edge over the other two.
Iβm nearing 50 and want to start riding two-wheelers again. Iβve heard about back pain issues with the Meteor 350, especially for city riding. Is that true? Alternatively, Iβm considering the Hunter 350. What would you advise based on my age and city use?
With their feet forward and fists-in-the-wind riding position, cruisers tend to put a lot of weight on your back and over less-than-ideal roads, which can transmit a lot of the bumps through to the rider. If you stay in an area with less-than-perfect roads, we would recommend you look elsewhere.
The Hunter, with its upright, neutral ergonomics and pliant suspension, will be able to handle bad roads much better.
A test ride will help you decide whether the Meteor or the Hunter is the best bet for you. Other options you can also look at are the TVS Ronin and the Honda CB350 models.
