Q. What's changed in Apache BS6 and when it will be launched?
  • The power and torque have been reduced in the BS 6 version. The look has been facelifted and gives more premium feel to the machine. Headlight is upgraded from halogen to full LED which has better luminance. There is no carburetor variant in BS6 as Fi is kept standard. Price for dual disc variant has got up by around 8000. Exhaust has been made more crispier which resembles to KTM. The electric start mechanism has improved, you hear almost no motor noise on pressing the start button.The engine is more tuned to race and RTFi (race tuned fuel injection) has been added. Overall BS6 variant is 30-40% better
  • The most exciting update for the RTR 160 is definitely the bump in power. While the current-gen RTR 160’s engine is the familiar 159.7cc air-cooled one, it now makes 16.04PS and 13.85Nm, 0.51PS more but 0.05Nm less than its predecessor. The new bike is also 2kg lighter than the outgoing model. TVS has replaced the previous-gen RTR 160’s semi-analogue cluster with a new digital unit that facilitates Bluetooth connectivity and also boasts TVS’ SmartXonnect tech with voice assist, a segment-first feature. Also on offer are features like turn-by-turn navigation, gear position indicator and shift assist, call and notification alerts and more. That said, only the top-of-the-line 2022 RTR 160 gets Bluetooth connectivity. The LCD console also has three riding modes: Sport, Urban and Rain, which can be changed on-the-fly, and alter the throttle mapping as well as ABS sensitivity. It has already been launched. Moreover, we would suggest you to take a test ride before making the final decision. Follow the link and select your desired city for dealership details.
  • It don't have any more change in bs4 you get blackish light in speedometer and now you will get the blue light the major change in the bike is it's bs6 engine and some little amount of cut and sketch to give the more sporty look to the bike and no more.

Q. Which is the better option for family bike between Honda unicorn and TV's Apache 160?
  • Among the two, if you are looking for a calm and comfortable bike with a reliable and refined engine, then the Honda Unicorn would be a good option. Unicorn has always been the go-to bike if you were planning to buy a 150cc commuter and with the BS6 update, the Unicorn now gets a larger 163cc fuel-injected, air-cooled engine. With the old-school styling, it still remains a well-rounded motorcycle. On the other hand, if you are looking for sporty motorcycle with bits of modern elements, then you may opt for the TVS Apache RTR 160. Given the RTR 160 2V BS6’s low pricing, it is a viable and relevant stepping stone into the 160cc segment. Moreover, we would suggest you to take a test ride before making the final decision. Follow the link and select your desired city for dealership details.Read More: - Honda Unicorn vs TVS Apache RTR 160

    Middle class 

    For a middle class and to a person who lives in very much populated cities like bengaluru, Mumbai etc this bike provides best mileage with comfort of riding.Pickup is nominal as according to its category, Power is as expected from a 100-125cc category bikes.Best thing is the mileage and the comfort while riding it does provides when it comes to worst things its less powered bike and for a crazy drivers it doesn't goes well.The services are pretty promising and maintenance cost is as less as the bike costs.Overall it's a good bike to consider in 100-125cc category bike.

    This 160cc beauty delivers impressive power and pickup, Making it a joy to ride on highways and city roads.Its lightweight design and responsive suspension make it easy to maneuver through traffic and corners.It has a sleek, Sporty look that turns heads on the road.Bike's price is comprtitive, Making it an attractive option for those seeking a performance bike on budget.Worst things that some owner responded to faulty electrical components.At high spped bike can experience vibrations that's uncomfortable for riders.Pillion seat can be uncomfortable for long rides.Bike's fuel efficiency is average but overall the bike's overall performance and features make it a compelling choice.

    No doubt, the TVS Apache RTR 160 stands out with it's a quick response and cornering maneuverability, that make it a dream of a ride for city traffic. It's customers prefer these motorized bike for its notable peppy engine, excellent response from throttle and its low weight chassis, which makes weaving through traffic very easy.

On other hand, a number of drivers emphasize the need for better transportation fuel economy and the requirements for an improved suspension system for the smoother ride on a rocky road.
