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

Q. What is the difference between Yamaha FZS-FI V3 Dark Knight and matt black?
  • The Dark Knight Edition of the Yamaha FZS-FI V3 features a different color and graphic scheme over the regular color variants. The accents are visible near the backseat, on the fuel tank and you get black finish exhaust unlike the other color options.
  • Colour, only
  • Matt black non scratch
Q. Which is better for daily commute and comfortable between FZ S V3, Gixxer 2019 and Apache 160 4V - Pulsar 150?
  • I have test ridden gixer... seating is not that comfortable...you tend to slide near the tank while braking.... For daily commute i would recommend fz due to good suspension setup, comfort and mileage.
  • New FZS-FI V3 is far more comfortable than other bikes, front suspension of this bike is super and 7 adjustable hydrolic suspension in back, seat is quite good and big for riding comfort. Well it's street lord.
  • Gixxer will be better than fzsv3 and apache 160v in terms of daily commuting, fun to ride and maneuverability.

  • RTR 160 is my second bike. First one was Pulsar 150 by Bajaj. Actually i was looking for the first model of Apache RTR, the yellow beauty but landed in next model RTR 160. To be true i was totally into RTR because of the advertisement, in which the two glowing eyes in the dark. Remembering those days, trying to do the same during our night rides. During the initial time, i was getting a vibration between 58 and 64 speed, but after the 3rd service the issue was all gone. Till date my best companion for roads and my solo trips. Iam not speed fan so do not know much about RTR performance over 80.

  • First pick for me when am looking for a bike!Am a fan of TVS as my father and brother have been using TVS bikes from long time..It got better braking and handling compared to Pulsars' or Hero bikes(My personal opinion though).Styling, Riding dynamics, performance everything makes this one a good bike among 150-160CC segments.I used it for city commute and highway rides as well, pretty satisfied with the bike in terms of mileage, performance and handling.

  • I have an amazing experience with apache RTR 160. I have done more than 1lacs and 36 thousand kilometers and mine is a 2009 model RTR. still I don"t face any knocking and any power loss in my bike while my daily commute includes 20-30kms of daily ride including off roads and some minor stunts as well... I"m getting a good mileage of 45-46 kmpl overall and after sales and service department of TVS deserves a salute, the parts are pocket friendly and have a very good quality, no issues in availability of parts and overall a very bike for those who want a good entry level bike which is pocket friendly and easy to maintain. great work and great machine by TVS.I am so happy with TVS that my first bike was RTR 160 in 2009, then I bought a RTR160 dual disc variant in 2013, then I bought RTR180 in 2017, and now RTR200 in 2018...

  • Best performimg bike ever-tvs apache rtr 160 offers impressive performance, Everyday practicality, And with prices starting at rs 1.08 lakh, Great value for money.The bike has a suspension setup that is quite adept at going around corners almost intuitively.With the 2021 model, Tvs also managed to shave off 2kg, And while it's not a difference you'll immediately notice, It does play a part.The only downside to the comfort is the ergonomics.

Apache RTR 160 User Reviews
  • I've bought fzsv3 bs6 edition on february 2020, The pro's which i felt is it's having a good mileage i'm getting 48km/ltr and is very much convenient ti ride in cities and for daily purpose, Performance is good as to a 150cc bike and maintenance cost is also low, The only issue i faced is regarding the fuel tank the tanks are made up of cheap quality fibre so there's a chance to get c***k on the tank i got it personal for two times but it was rectified by the service station still there ain't permanent solutions for that, Apart from this problem the bike is worth every penny❤️

  • Brought in oct2019.Good comfort....Good mileage. With a decent speed you can easily get 45+ mileage in any condition. If you ride it above 90 km/hr mileage will be drop. Cruising speed 75-85. No vibration. Already did many tours with my Fzs V3. No problems till now.
