Recently Asked User Questions

Q. I am bit confused between Apache RTR 180 and Hornet 2.0 which one should i go for can anyone share there reviews?
  • Selecting between the two would depend on certain factors such as budget, performance, preference of the brand, etc. TVS Apache RTR 180 gets a peppy engine 177.4cc single-cylinder fuel-injected engine that makes 16.79PS of maximum power and the bike is a great handler too. However, the bike boasts an old design and with the BS6 updates the bike remain a fan FAVOURITE for the time being. On the other hand, Honda has unleashed its brand new Hornet 2.0 which is a performance-oriented naked bike with great styling and thriving mid-range performance. The 184cc single-cylinder air-cooled mill churns out 7.27PS at 8,500rpm and 16.1Nm at 6,000rpm. However, with its price tag, Hornet 2.0 locks its horns with the likes of TVS Apache RTR 200 4V, Bajaj Pulsar NS200, Royal Enfield Bullet 350, etc. Moreover, we would suggest you to take a test ride for a better understanding of comfort and compatibility.

  • Go for 180rtr has got oil cooling and better low end torque.Oil cooling helps for non stop touring. Hornet 2.0 is over priced and underpowered for a 185 cc Engine. Honda yamaha suzuki makes their engine smooth by reducing compression ratio and making it underpowered and sell it overpriced. Some Indians who has inferiority complex to buy Indian brands will fall for the japanese. Don't support this marketing gimmick of honda yamaha suzuki. Buy Indian brands brother. Why wasting your money to make the Japanese rich.

    The N160 is a beast 

    After clocking over 5,000 kilometers on my Bajaj Pulsar N160, it’s time to tell the story. The N160 is a beast, with an engine that delivers 15.7 HP and a torque of 14 Nm making it an absolute joy to rev. Its fuel efficiency is commendable too, standing at around 45 kmpl striking a fine balance between performance and economy.The bike's handling and agility in traffic are top notch all thanks to its lightweight frame and responsive brakes. Riding it feels secure and exhilarating at the same time.

    the most attractive thing on road 

    The Bajaj Pulsar N160, with its 164.82cc engine, offers a slight power boost over the N150. It is decent for city rides with good , though not ideal for high speeds. It delivers around 45-50 kmpl in the city and comes with features like LED headlamps and digital instrument clusters. Comfort-wise, the split seat and handling are satisfactory, but some feel the suspension is stiff on rough roads. Safety features include disc brakes with optional ABS. While it's stylish, affordable, and fuel-efficient, it might not suit highway enthusiasts extreme power or high speeds.
