Trending Questions on TVS Apache RTR 160 4V - Answered by Autocar Experts
I am planning to buy a new 160cc bike. My options are the Apache RTR 160 4V TFT, Pulsar N160, and Xtreme 160 4V. Most of my riding will be in the city at speeds of 60-70 kmph, with occasional long rides. My priorities are mileage, looks, low maintenance, good customer service, resale value, fewer complaints, comfort, performance, and easy availability of spare parts. Please suggest one good option.
I am a regular Autocar follower and need your guidance in choosing my next motorcycle. The bike will be used mainly for city commuting, though not in heavy bumper to bumper traffic. I have previously owned an Activa and a Honda Unicorn. I am 36 years old, 5 feet 7 inches tall, and occasionally ride with a pillion and my children. I am not very focused on looks or features and am primarily looking for a comfortable, reliable motorcycle for long term ownership. Budget is not a constraint.
If you are open to the idea of a larger, premium machine, then bikes like the TVS Ronin, Royal Enfield Hunter 350 and Honda CB350 will be the options we recommend. If you want to instead go for a commuter bike, there are loads of great options in the 160cc space, such as the Honda Unicorn / SP160, Bajaj Pulsar N160, TVS Apache RTR 160 4V and Suzuki Gixxer.
Take a test ride of all the bikes you shortlist with a pillion to see what suits you best.
I currently own a Bajaj V15 and I am planning to buy a new bike for commuting and occasional long drives. My budget is ₹2 lakh. Please suggest a bike that offers good performance, mileage, and comfort.
Since you haven't specified what displacement range or style of bike you are looking at, we'll give you multiple options to choose from.
The Royal Enfield Hunter 350 is a good option because it will be comfortable, stylish and will give you decent performance and fuel economy too. Another bike worth taking a look at is the Honda CB300F, which is a friendly naked bike that will also be comfortable and fuel-efficient. You can also take a look at the Hero Xpulse 210, which will be far the most comfortable machine of all the bikes mentioned here.
If you want to stick to the same displacement bracket, bikes like the TVS Apache RTR 160 4V and Bajaj Pulsar N160 are the options to consider. Take a test ride of everything you're considering before making a decision.
Kudos to the Autocar team for helping motorists. I appreciate all your guidance and help. I used to ride a Honda Unicorn, but switched to a scooter after becoming a father for safety and convenience. I’m not happy with the scooter and want to return to a motorcycle with a smooth ride, plush suspension, and low maintenance. I need a bike suited to Bengaluru city commuting. I’m 175 cm tall and on the heavier side, and I prefer a model that handles rough roads well. Please suggest suitable options.
First of all, thank you for your patronage, we appreciate your kind words.
Coming to what machine we would recommend, since you had such a lovely experience with your Unicorn in the past, you can look at the same bike even today because it is a no-nonsense, practical and fuel-efficient commuter.
If you want to look at other options in the class, bikes like the Bajaj Pulsar N160 and TVS Apache RTR 160 4V are our top picks in the 150/160cc sporty commuter segment.
Take a test ride of everything you shortlist so you can decide what suits you best.
Hello, Autocar. I follow your updates and value your suggestions. I currently own a 2015 Hero Passion Pro in good condition. I want to upgrade to a 160cc bike. I am 5'9", my daily commute is around 60km with family, and my budget is ₹1.5 lakh. I like the NS160. Please guide me.
I am currently using TVS sport 2017 model. My daily commute 54 kms approx. I want to upgrade to 150 - 160 CC to make occasional long rides. I am confused to choose between top contenders. Kindly suggest me in this concern.
Since you are already familiar with the TVS after-sales experience, we would recommend you take a look at the TVS Apache RTR 160 4V.
It is a smooth, comfortable, fuel-efficient and feature-rich offering. However, do bear in mind, it can feel cramped for larger riders, so we'd advise you to take a test ride and figure out if that is the case for you. Another option to consider is the Bajaj Pulsar N160, which has similar attributes to the Apache bikes but is a more spacious machine.
I am 31 years old and have been using a 2016 Jupiter for the last 9 years. I now want to shift to a mid-range bike around 150cc. My riding pattern is around 60km per day, five days a week, with about 70% normal traffic and the remaining in heavy traffic. Can you advise me on the best options available in Hyderabad with a mileage of around 45kmpl? I am 5'10" with a lean build. I have been riding a 2018 Gixxer (my cousin’s) for the last month and generally feel comfortable on it, though I experience slight lower back pain occasionally. Also, please advise on the XSR 155.
Hi team, I own a Honda Activa 2019, which I hate for its ride quality. I want to buy a bike or scooter with a budget of ₹1.4 to 1.8 lakh (up to ₹2 lakh if required), which has a good ride quality, good suspension, good seat cushion/comfort, no back pain, and reasonable mileage and maintenance. My ride will be mostly in the city with 40km/day.
I want to upgrade from my 2013 Honda Shine and am looking for a peppy-performing motorcycle for city use only. Please suggest options in the 125cc and 150-160cc segments.
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.
