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. You may click on the link and select your desired city for dealership details.Read More: - All The Juicy Details Of The Honda Hornet 2.0 - [Do The Hornet 2.0’s Rivals Have What It Takes To Stir Its Nest?@https://www.zigwheels.com/news-features/news/honda-hornet-20-vs-tvs-apache-rtr-200-4v-vs-bajaj-pulsar-ns200-specification-comparison/39583/
  • 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.
Q. Duke 125 vs ns 125 which is better.?
  • Selecting the right bike would depend on several factors such as your budget preference on the segment, features required, engine options, brand preference, etc. The KTM 125 Duke BS6 is the most affordable way into the KTM family. It Service as the perfect stepping stone to performance-oriented motorcycles. The only grouse is you may be able to master the motorcycle rather quickly, and the lack of power means you will be left craving for more performance. KTM 125 Duke is powered by a 124.7 cc engine. This Duke 125 engine generates a power of 14.5 PS @ 9250 rpm and a torque of 12 Nm @ 8000 rpm. The Bajaj Pulsar NS125 follows the same design ethos as its other NS siblings. The same wolf-inspired headlamp, muscular tank, chunky body, and split-seat setup make their way into the NS125. However, blame it on the skinny tyres and a slim telescopic fork, the proportions of the bike do not seem quite right. Bajaj Pulsar NS 125 is powered by 124.4 cc engine.This Pulsar NS 125 engine generates a power of 11.99 PS @ 8500 rpm and a torque of 11 Nm @ 7000 rpm.

  • The Bajaj Pulsar NS125 packs a peppy engine, is fun to ride, and could be the perfect beginner bike for you. The entry-level NS125 could be the perfect platform for those graduating from a scooter, and yearning to learn the ropes. On the other hand, TVS Raider's styling, features and performance will excite youngsters, and for someone looking at their first motorcycle, the Raider does make good sense. TVS has gone the smarter route, keeping a thrilling ride experience as the USP, instead of a purely commuter-centric approach. Moreover, we would suggest you to take a test ride before making the final decision. Follow the link and select your city and brand accordingly for dealership details.

    excitement and thrill all the way 

    The Bajaj Pulsar NS125 is a stylish and fuel-efficient. I love its 125cc bike, perfect for daily rides . Its engine produces 11.6 PS of power and 11 Nm of torque, delivering around 50 kmpl in the city. Comfort features include a split seat and well-positioned handlebars. Telescopic front forks and nitrox rear suspension ensure decent handling. Safety-wise, it has disc brakes with optional ABS. With a starting price of ₹ 99,990, it's affordable and low maintenance. While it's stylish and comfortable, it's not built for high speeds and might feel a bit stiff on rough roads.
