Q. Which bike has a better mileage, Apache RTR 160 or Apache RTR 160 4V?
  • If you want to spend more than 1 lakh go with R15,fz,pulsar 220,dont purchase apache because spare parts also 2 much cost and every year i spent 6 to 8k for repair worst bike starting 1 to 2 yrs it will be normal after that it starts repairs
  • It would unfair to give a verdict here as the brand has not revealed the mileage of TVS Apache RTR 160. On the other hand, TVS Apache RTR 160 4V has a claimed mileage of 55.47kmpl.

Q. For long Drive Which one is good JAWA or Royal Enfield Thunderbird?
  • Thats true, Jawa is a city bike with a contradictory gear box, i.e., seating posture is for the city, but gear box is for the highway. Also Jawa's pickup had no competition in those earlier days, but now things are different, with plenty of options. Young boys maturing to ride bikes will prefer sporty bikes. Jawa will be preferred by more mature men starting from around their 30s, and by that time men will be family men and for them a short seat like that in Jawa will not serve their family purposes. So most men who are Jawa enthusiasts will have to drop their enthusiasm for Jawa and opt for other options. Lack of tubeless tyre options will also deter many from opting a Jawa. If Classic Legends do not take these into consideration, then Jawa might have a bleak future.
  • Hello Daniel, both bikes are very capable and very retro in their looks. The Jawa however has an edge in the performance department. If you are looking for leasurely cruising then the Thunderbird will suffice. However if you need a higher speed and the benefit of a sixth gear to cruise at higher speeds, yet at lower rpm, then it has to be the Jawa. Why don't you take a test drive of both and then decide.
  • Thunderbird is best one. Jawa is a city bike not a tourer

Q. What the difference between Jawa bikes and Royal Enfield in reference to price, performance, service etc. Is it true that the waiting period for Jawa bikes is 6 month
  • I don't think you've made a ride with the jawa, because the performance is much better than the Enfield ones.Enfield truly lacks power and in terms of smoothness and handling Enfield isn't even close.where enfield gets the benchmark is the service cost and volume of the bike
  • Costlier than Royal Enfield . In performance Royal Enfield is good. Regarding service wehave wait until it hits the road. Regarding waiting period it is falsely over hyped by jawa. To create more booking.
  • Waiting period is 8 months. Booked it today. RE is far inferior compared Jawa in ride quality, comfort, handling, pick up, smoothness, Fewer or no vibrations etc.

    Got my jawa maroon classic 

    Got my jawa maroon classic in 2020.Didn't get to ride much.But whatever i rode, I was utterly disappointed.The vehicle is too heavy to pull or push.The rear wheel appears to spin hard.When asked the showroom mechanic, He said it was due to a 'large rim'!!!!! the clutch lever is so hard it results in wrist aching.No solution from the mechanic.The sound is not impressive, And it is on the irritating side.The sound that continues for some time after the engine is stalled after a ride is even more irritating.Riding comfortably for short distances is fine, But can be painful in long hauls.Pick-up, Speed, Etc are ok.Now the major flaws.Within one year, The silencer and the leg guards started rusting, And surprisingly, The silencer developed holes too! so much so for the mahindra quality.Try parking the vehicle on the centre stand.You should be a weight lifter!!! overall, The vehicle looks awesome although do not replicate the original jawa.The quality of the materials is pathetic.Mechanics such as hardness in wheel spin, Clutch lever, And center stand are painful to the rider.The sound is unimpressive and irritating.The mileage is not great.

    Most comfortable and great performer bike 

    The engine of this bike comes with the great performance and gives sporty looking ride and the ride quality i like the most with great comfort. The design of this bike is muscular and pretty nice and also the handling of this bike is very good and is a great family bike with high comfort but in the corners it is not good. The suspension setup is really very nice and the engine performance is very high with good power and is the feature rich bike and TVS Apache RTR 160 now gives smooth engine but tyres could be more better.

    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.

    Nimble and Agile Commuter 

    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. The sharp looks, cozy chairs, and sturdy brakes receive nearly the full mark. 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.
