TVS Bikes Inspired by Racing Experience 

TVS has been involved in motorsport for more than four decades through TVS Racing. The experience gained from racing has also influenced its road-going motorcycles.

Trending Questions on TVS Bikes - Answered by Autocar Experts

I want to buy a 2-wheeler under Rs. 1.5 lakh but I am confused between Yamaha FZ-Fi and TVS Apache RTR 160 2V. Please advise.

Verified
•2d

The Yamaha FZ-Fi is one of the most dependable, practical and fuel efficient commuters in its class but its not what you'd call cutting edge or exciting from a performance standpoint. Over the years, the FZ has transformed from one of the most powerful machines in its category to now making power akin to most sporty, new-age 125cc commuters like the Raider and Xtreme. Where that pays dividends is in terms of fuel economy and the FZ scores really high in this regard. In some ways the TVS Apache RTR 160 2V is similiar to the FZ in that it is a decades-old product that has been soldiering on with small updates sprinkled in over the course of its lifecycle. Where it differs from the FZ is that this is still a quick and peppy commuter and will 'feel' fun to ride. Its engine isn't the most refined and its design is now the better part of two decades old but the Apache 160 2V is nonetheless a sorted machine in its own right. These bikes have very different riding experiences so we'd recommend a test ride of both to figure out which one makes more sense for you.

Dear Autocar team, I am looking to purchase a two-wheeler for my daily office commute, roughly 95km per day (a mix of both highway (40%) and city traffic (60%) - Chennai). My height is 5.3 feet, and I am looking for a bike to suit my height; the preferred options are Pulsar 150, Apache 160 4V and Royal Enfield Hunter. Also, looking at the budget and features, the new Pulsar 150 make more sense to me. Need experts' suggestions on this. Thank you.

If your priority is fuel economy, you're better off with either the Bajaj Pulsar 150 or the TVS Apache RTR 160 4V. These bikes are proven workhorses which will last you a long time and deliver good fuel economy, which will be an important factor in your purchase decision given your near-100km daily commute. If, instead, you want a more premium and polished machine with better performance, build quality, design and ride quality, then the more expensive Royal Enfield Hunter 350 is surely a good option. It all boils down to whether or not you can manage the stretch and what sort of experience you are after.

Hi Autocar Team, I currently own a 2021 Hero Super Splendor. The most annoying aspect of my bike is its gearbox, which frequently experiences missed shifts and false neutrals. A few months ago, I decided to upgrade to a 160cc motorcycle. However, my neighbour recently bought a Hero Xtreme 125R, and it seems to have similar gearbox issues. Why has Hero been unable to provide a consistently smooth gearbox experience? If I upgrade to the Hero Xtreme 160R, am I likely to face the same issues? Please advise.

Verified
•4d

On most Hero motorcycles, as you've pointed out, the gearbox is quite notchy & lacks a snick, precise feel. While we can't comment on why the company has been unable to solve this issue, we can say that the latest Xtreme 160R 4V doesn't seem to suffer from this issue - at least our experience from the first ride event tells us that it doesn't. We'd recommend you get an extended test ride of the bike to properly try it out before going ahead with your purchase, or look at alternatives like the Bajaj Pulsar N160 or TVS Apache RTR 160 4V.

Is Bajaj Pulsar 220F a good choice for daily commute of 50km?

Verified
•2w

In isolation, the Bajaj Pulsar 220F is a proven workhorse with a punchy engine, comfortable rider's traingle position and good highway stability, which makes it well-suited for longer daily runs. It is also relatively affordable to maintain and has a wide service network, which is important for a high-mileage commuter.That said, the 220F is now nearly 2 decades old and has only seen regulatory and minor feature-related updates since. It does not offer the refinement or modern features of newer-generation bikes in the segment. If your commute is mostly highway and you don't mind the old-school feel of the 220F, it can make sense for you. However, if you are looking for a more modern package with better refinement, consider Bajaj's own Pulsar N250, the TVS Apache RTR 200 4V or Honda Hornet 2.0 as similiarly-priced and comparable alternatives. Try to take a test ride of all four before you make your decision to see where your preferences lie.

I am looking to buy a new scooter primarily for city commuting, with a typical daily riding distance of around 7 to 8 km. My pillion rider is a senior citizen, so ease of getting on and off, comfortable seating, and a stable ride are important considerations. Price is not an issue. Kindly suggest a suitable scooter that would meet these requirements.

Verified

Given your low daily run and emphasis on comfort and practicality, we'd advise you to choose between the Honda Activa 110 / 125, Suzuki Access 125 and TVS Jupiter 125. These are reliable, fuss-free, comfortable, fuel-efficient and practical machines - basically textbook family scooter options - which will all suit your needs very well. We'd recommend you take your pillion with you on your test ride and then gauge which one fits your needs best.
