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. What's changed in Apache BS6 and when it will be launched?
  • The power and torque have been reduced in the BS 6 version. The look has been facelifted and gives more premium feel to the machine. Headlight is upgraded from halogen to full LED which has better luminance. There is no carburetor variant in BS6 as Fi is kept standard. Price for dual disc variant has got up by around 8000. Exhaust has been made more crispier which resembles to KTM. The electric start mechanism has improved, you hear almost no motor noise on pressing the start button.The engine is more tuned to race and RTFi (race tuned fuel injection) has been added. Overall BS6 variant is 30-40% better
  • The most exciting update for the RTR 160 is definitely the bump in power. While the current-gen RTR 160’s engine is the familiar 159.7cc air-cooled one, it now makes 16.04PS and 13.85Nm, 0.51PS more but 0.05Nm less than its predecessor. The new bike is also 2kg lighter than the outgoing model. TVS has replaced the previous-gen RTR 160’s semi-analogue cluster with a new digital unit that facilitates Bluetooth connectivity and also boasts TVS’ SmartXonnect tech with voice assist, a segment-first feature. Also on offer are features like turn-by-turn navigation, gear position indicator and shift assist, call and notification alerts and more. That said, only the top-of-the-line 2022 RTR 160 gets Bluetooth connectivity. The LCD console also has three riding modes: Sport, Urban and Rain, which can be changed on-the-fly, and alter the throttle mapping as well as ABS sensitivity. It has already been launched. 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.
  • It don't have any more change in bs4 you get blackish light in speedometer and now you will get the blue light the major change in the bike is it's bs6 engine and some little amount of cut and sketch to give the more sporty look to the bike and no more.

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

    App support 

    Sporty look and sporty feelings in an ev #tork_kratos_r the tork has recently launched its tork kratos r which has an astonishing sporty feel and look, To be honest it gives you the same feeling while riding it also, It has a range of 120 kms but it will vary if we change the modes, We can change the modes according to our speed levels just like gears in any other bike it has buttons instead to change the modes, The things it lacks in are it's extra fittings and crash guard, It does not have any extra fittings and no place for crash guard, But the overall build quality is good and pickup is of 0-40 speed in just 3.5 sec just amazing pickup for a sporty feeling the after sales service is okay, But not up to the mark, The shock absorber should be made to two instead of 1 for effective shock absorption, The main thing it lacks in is abs, It doesn't have anti braking system also known as abs.It has many features like in app support, Geofencing, Gps tracker to track your bike location and many more.The after sales service should be.Improved they are not providing the service up to the mark as expected by the customer for this ev bike.

    I went for a test ride in 

    I went for a test ride in the kolkata experience centre and the first impression is good.In the long run, The sitting position might be a hassle for long distance daily commuters.Apart from that, The battery is not removable which is a bit of concern for me but it does have a chain for pulling its rear wheel which can be seen as an advantage over the competitors offering belt mechanism.Overall, It depends on your usecase whether you want to go for it or not.

    I've been using this bike 

    I've been using this bike for 1 year and i came to the conclusion, That this is one of the best ev bikes in the field.This is really a comfort-giving bike.The only thing that i'm sad, About that is its charging pumps are very rarely available but i think in the future it will be fixed as per the growth of ev users.In the talk about performance, This is better than the revolt 400, In a single charge with the eco mode it gives a 150-170 km range.And it's pickup is also similar to sports bikes as fast, Anyone can say it's an ev sports bike from its look and build quality.In the bike app lots and display, There are lots of features, And the one i like most is it has an anti-theft mode which is only unlocked by user access.As i'm from kolkata the shipping charge took more price but after all, I can honestly say you must try this e-bike.

    Unique feature 

    The bike comes with three modes, Eco, City and sport.Eco mode is very dull but lets you get upto speeds of 50kmph which is decent.City mode has better acceleration and goes upto 70kmph.I haven't bothered testing the range in eco and city modes, As i never use them.But i must say, The motor is really really efficient.I ride it in sport mode, Exactly like i used to ride my dominar 400 for my daily commute.Yet, The bike returns a good efficiency of about 95-99 kms per charge in sport mode (company claims 90kms).My accelerations are linear and i ride at around 55-70 kmph using regen instead of brakes.Being chain driven, Chain maintenance becomes mandatory which i really don't mind.The app comes with a unique feature (compensating for the lack of modern instrument cluster) where the phone connects via bluetooth and displays a fancy version of the instrument cluster on the phone.It can be used by mounting the phone on the handle bar, But it's mostly a miss since it does not work well in real time.The bike does have fast charging capabilities, But since the company has not finalised the type of charging port as of december 2022, The charging port slot has been left empty for now.The slow fixed charger at 750w does take a good 6-7 hours to completely charge the vehicle.
