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

    powered by engine, thrilled by rides 

    My Hero Super Splendor XTEC is a well-suited option for everyday commuting, offering a balance between affordability, reliability, and a few modern upgrades. It's known for its fuel efficiency and comfortable riding experience. The XTEC offers a smooth and comfortable ride with good handling for riding through traffic. The XTEC offers a relaxed and upright riding position with a well-cushioned seat which is loved by my mother as it feels like a sofa chair to her . But it is not that much powerful

    A Mixed Bag of Features 

    The Hero Super Splendor XTEC, which I purchased six months ago, is pitched as a more feature rich variant of the Super Splendor. The digital cluster with Bluetooth connectivity and call alert feature is a significant upgrade for anyone looking to mix practical commuting with a touch of technology. However, despite these additions, the bike still houses the same 124.7 cc engine, which though reliable feels a bit outdated compared to competitors.The ride feedback is mixed. While I enjoy the smooth handling and the gear transitions, the bike's suspension setup is affecting its stability on rough terrains.

    The Hero Super Splendor XTEC is a feature-rich variant of the popular Hero Super Splendor bike . It generally has a 124.7cc engine which does not provides that much power which expected from it . From past 1 year i am noticing that its mileage is of around 55 kmpl. It lacks additional safety features like airbags or traction control found in bigger bikes . I love it but its safety features are very basic and does not contains some features like$

    smooth ride even on rough patches 

    I have been commuting on my Hero Super Splendor XTEC for over six months now. One thing that stood out immediately after my purchase was its feature- ich composition, especially considering its price point. With a digital instrument cluster featuring Bluetooth connectivity and call alerts, it feels quite modern for a 125cc bike. Riding this bike in city traffic is a breeze thanks to its i3S technology for fuel saving start stop and a powerful 10.73 bhp engine, which provides a smooth ride even on rough patches.

    मेरी बाइक चलने में  

    मेरी बाइक चलने में तो बहुत बढ़िया है लेकिन माइलेज 55km पर लीटर मिल रहा है। और अभी डिजिटल मीटर में ब्लूटूथ, बेटरी, मेसेज ओर मिस कॉल के साइन नहीं दिख रहे हैं मोबाइल कनेक्ट करने के बाद। जब कोई कॉल आता है तो वो दिख रहा है लेकिन बाकी साइन नहीं दिख रहे हैं। सर्विस सेंटर पर भी दिखा लिया लेकिन उन्हें भी कुछ समझ मे नही आ रहा है। इस समस्या का कोई हल है क्या?

    I own this bike  

    I own this bike, bought it on 13th March, and have driven nearly 4k kilometers in two months. I ride around 70-80 kilometers daily without any issues or back pain; the bike is very comfortable. The mileage is as follows: Single person: 63 to 66 km per liter Two persons: 55 to 60 km per liter The switch quality is average; I had to change it in 1.5 months, but even after replacing it, the engine's refinement is not satisfactory. You feel its refinement only after 12,500 kilometers. Until 2,500 kilometers, the bike's gears were jerking or not changing easily; I had to push a little bit to shift to 2nd gear. However, after 2,500 kilometers, the issue was resolved, and now it's working really well . The light is above average, but during highway rides, it feels a little bit hard when some big vehicles come towards you. The sales services may vary depending on the area, but in my area, the support has been very good. The first service cost me 425 rupees (350 for oil, 75 for the oil filter) at 500 kilometers, and the second service also cost 425 rupees at 3,000 kilometers.

    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.
