Trending Questions on TVS Apache RTR 160 4V - Answered by Autocar Experts
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. I’m 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.
I have a 9-year-old Pulsar 150 and want to change. I’m 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. I’m confused about which one to buy. Any other options? I ride 60-80 km per week and occasionally go for long drives.
I’m looking for a bike that looks good and offers lots of features. I’m considering the TVS RTX 300 for its features, but I’m also tempted to wait for the Yamaha XSR. I feel the RTX’s weight might be too much for me - I rode an Apache 160 comfortably, and I don’t think I can handle a bike weighing over 150 kg. I want a bike with 40-50 kmpl mileage, good looks, and plenty of features. I’ve also considered the Pulsar and Unicorn; don’t limit suggestions to these. What should I choose?
Since you're shopping in the 150/160cc segment and want flashy looks, good features and decent mileage too, here are all the options you should consider. The TVS Apache RTR 160 4V is a smooth, comfortable yet decently sporty machine. Also, since you mentioned that you want a more manageable machine, we'll stick with options that have a low seat and are lightweight. In a similar vein, you can also consider the Bajaj Pulsar N160 and Honda SP160, too.
If you can extend your budget, bikes like the KTM 160 Duke and Yamaha MT-15 will also fit the bill because they have punchy performance, yet return good fuel efficiency and are lightweight and manageable too.
Hi - I’ve been riding a 2014 Unicorn and now I’m looking to buy a new bike. Could you help me decide whether I should go for a 150 cc or a 350 cc model? I won’t be doing long rides very often - my weekly distance will be just about 10-12 km at most. I’m looking for something stylish, not the traditional Unicorn look. Here are some models I’m considering: the Royal Enfield Meteor 350, Honda CB350RS, Bajaj Pulsar N160 / Pulsar N250, and the TVS Apache RTR 160. Could you advise?
If you're not going to go on longer journeys often and want to stay in the same displacement range as your Unicorn, the Bajaj Pulsar N160 and TVS Apache RTR 160 4V will serve you well. If you want a small step up in terms of performance without sacrificing too much fuel economy, the Bajaj Pulsar N250, Honda Hornet 2.0 and Suzuki Gixxer 250 will fit the bill. You can also take a look at the KTM 160 Duke and Yamaha MT-15 because, while they have smaller displacement engines, they are liquid-cooled and offer punchy performance with great fuel economy.
The more laidback Royal Enfield Meteor 350 and Honda CB350RS will definitely feel more special in their riding experience and fit & finish. Also, it will be significantly more expensive to buy and maintain compared to the aforementioned bikes.
I have low back listhesis and ride about 80-100 km per week. The roads I use have potholes and rough patches. Please suggest a smooth bike that won’t aggravate my back. I’m 52 years old.
I currently own a TVS Radeon bike and travel 50+ km daily (about 70% highway, 30% traffic). My height is 5 ft 10 in. Please suggest a bike for daily commuting that offers comfort and performance.
Since you haven't specified your budget, we'll recommend something that feels like a step up without hurting your wallet too much. You can take a look at the Bajaj Pulsar N160, Suzuki Gixxer 150 and TVS Apache RTR 160 4V - all three are comfortable and fuel-efficient machines which will feel like an upgrade over your Radeon. Do take a test ride and see which one fits you best, because your daily running is quite high. The Apache is a little cramped in the way it folds your legs, so you may want to take a look at the other two.
I’m planning to buy a bike with a budget of around ₹1.30 lakh. My daily office commute is about 60 km (round-trip) and I’ll do occasional highway rides with my wife, so seat comfort is non-negotiable. Which bike should I buy?
Something comfortable in the 160cc space, like the Bajaj Pulsar N160, TVS Apache RTR 160 4V or Suzuki Gixxer will fit the bill for your requirements, although you may need to extend your budget a little bit for some of the higher variants. You can also look at some 125cc bikes like the Hero Glamour, Honda Shine and TVS Raider if you don't want to stretch your budget, but with two people on board, the 125s will feel a little breathless at highway speeds.
I’m looking for a new bike for my 35 km daily commute in heavy Bengaluru traffic with rough, pothole-filled roads. I need a comfortable ride with good suspension.
I currently ride a Bajaj Platina 100, and my daily run is around 150 km. I’m looking to upgrade to a bike with better mileage and improved comfort, especially since I’m 5′ 11″ tall. Could you suggest suitable upgrade options?
A good upgrade without sacrificing mileage from your 100cc Platina would be something in the 150-160cc space, like the Bajaj Pulsar N160, TVS Apache RTR 160 4V, Suzuki Gixxer, Honda Unicorn/SP160, or the Yamaha FZ lineup. If you want to go beyond that, the TVS Apache RTR 200 4V, Honda Hornet 2.0 or Bajaj Pulsar NS200 will fit the bill. Take a long test ride to see which option suits you best.
I currently own a Honda Activa and want a reliable motorcycle. I’m 5'9" tall and my budget is up to ₹2 lakh. Daily commuting is up to 20 km. I’ve been diagnosed with a slipped disc, so I need a bike with good suspension and a comfortable riding posture for two. I prefer a sporty look, low maintenance, strong fuel efficiency, and good after-sales service. Which bike should I buy?
Since you have mentioned you want a bike that looks sporty but is comfortable to ride, something in the 150-160cc sporty commuter space like the Bajaj Pulsar N160, TVS Apache RTR 160 4V, Honda SP160, or Hero Xtreme 160R 4V will serve you well. If you want something that is packed with more performance but is still usable and comfortable inside the city, the KTM 160 Duke and Yamaha MT-15 are options you should consider.
We would also recommend the Royal Enfield Hunter 350 because it is a comfortable, approachable and reliable machine, although it doesn't have the sporty look you want.
