Recently Asked User Questions

Q. Which one is better Apache 160 or apace 180?
  • Better you should Buy the Apache RTR 180 because its Aerodynamics is much better in comparision to Other Bikes in its Class and also to its Younger Sibling Apache RTR 160 4V Fi.I own a TVS Apache RTR 180 2016 Model and till now it haven't shown us any Chain Sprocket or Engine Problems, instead only the Battery Sometimes Dies Fast and we have ridden almost all kind of Terrains and its Torque & Power is amazing compared to Other 180cc Bikes. TVS APACHE RTR 180 gives you an Aggression of Performance and one who owns The RTR 180 will too soon get to the Bike's Manuals and Riding. I want to say that Our TVS APACHE RTR 180 is the 2016 Model and still it doesn't have any time to Time (almost negligible issues) and our Bike even doesn't have ABS and then also it performs and Brakes and accelerates too well, in point the Bike becomes too responsive and Easy Daily commuter and if any Buys the RTR 180 now in 2020, the New RTR 180 will definitely gonna be more Awesome and Responsive 👍🇮🇳. But maintain the Time to time Bike Servicing and Other Maintenances; you'll obviously gonna take Care of your Beautiful Bike more than you but Ride Safe Guys. Lastly, but not the least, the APACHE RTR 160 4V Fi is also a Quite very Responsive and Good Commuter Bike it's your choice, what you wanna Buy but personally I would Recommend to Buy the TVS APACHE RTR 180 ABS cz I have experienced a lot with all the Models of the Apache RTR 180 till now and I wanna say that ofcourse both the TVS bikes questioned here are amazing Bikes🙏🇮🇳👍
  • TVS has dealt with the Apache RTR 160 performance issue and has now made the bike near-perfect, well, except of course those raised eye-brow-like DRLs, which we think are a polarizing aspect of the design. Factor in the kind of equipment and features on offer, and it becomes a no-brainer if you’ve got performance on your mind. On the other hand, TVS Apache RTR 180 is a fun-to-ride motorcycle with quick handling dynamics and a range of safety features. The razor-sharp handling makes it a hoot to ride and it is a value-for-money vehicle. 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.
  • If i says if tvs motor up grade 180 with 4v and 6 speed manual then don't wast time and go for it bkz i am a owner of 180 from last 10 years but i still clock 141 kmh speed on it, in short its far better then 200 4v or 1604v in speed but as we know only speed is nothing a bike with new upgrades is better in all aspects

Q. Which bike is better Ns160 or Apache 160 ?
  • While TVS has done well in reviving the Apache RTR 160 2V with a fuel-injected motor, it could have done better by offering it new bodywork and additional features, something it has done with the Apache RTR 160 4V. On the other hand, while the Bajaj Pulsar NS160 BS6 might not have many tangible features to justify the price hike due to BS6 norms, it more than makes up for it with raw performance. In fact, it is the most powerful motorcycle in its segment, making it ideal for enthusiasts who prioritize performance over anything else. Moreover, we'd suggest you to go for Bajaj NS 160 for its raw powerful engine and capable perimeter frame. For better understanding, we would suggest you to take a test ride and then take a final decision. You can find dealers here.
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

    Basically designed 

    It's basically designed for city commute but i using it in hilly area of south india.Its range is ok after one year of use but one thing is if the cycle looses it's power it will be difficult to go even slightly uphill area even with gear.It's chain that i got was spur brand, Freewheel of shimano but advertisement initially showed shimano tourney.I had 2000 km ride and chain is loose so hero lectro service center adviced me for replacement of chain and freewheel cost about rs 2500 not sure whether it's normal wear or due to adding non shimano chain on shimano free wheel.Due to use of cheap quality fuse for motor controller my cycle had short circuit but hero replaced it under important thing is maintaining fixed tyre pressure at please 65psi.

    power one needs in their life 

    My TVS Apache RTR 160 is a popular bike in India, It has a 159.7cc, single-cylinder, air-cooled, BS6 engine which is very decent in this range . It provides around 40-45 kmpl, but real-world mileage may vary depending on riding style and conditions .

    My Day-to-Day Champion 

    The TVS Apache RTR 160 has been my companion for several months now and it has proven to be a reliable workhorse. The bike’s 159 cc engine offers sufficient power for city commuting and the occasional joyride. What really stands out is the bike's mileage I get about 45 kmpl, which is incredibly economical for daily use.However, the bike's vibration levels at higher speeds are a concern. It tends to detract from the otherwise smooth handling and can cause a bit of a nuisance on longer trips. Also, I find the braking could be a bit sharper specially during rainy conditions.
