Six months and 6,500 kilometers later, my TVS Apache RTR 160 4V has been a great purchase. With a 17.63 PS power at 9250 rpm and torque of 14.73 Nm at 7250 rpm this beast has made every ride exhilarating. Its handling is spot on thanks to the well balanced chassis and the smooth gear transition making me feel in total control at all times.But it is not without its flaws. The seat could do with more cushioning for better comfort on longer journeys. Additionally the hustle and bustle of the Indian roads, I find the fuel efficiency approximately 45-50 kmpl a bit underwhelming.

Driving experience
3.8
Driving experience is remarkable i purchased this bike in 2019 till now not even a single issue.Seat cushioning is good.Only one con the gear shifting between 2nd and 3rd sometimes lag not at high speed but when you are driving slow in traffic which is pretty annoying.Otherwise no issues i suggest you guys to go for it better option than pulsar n160.

Driving experience
The driving experience is super smooth and the bike service costs around 800 to 1000 for oil change and wash n polish.Pick up is gud but little bit of problem in gear shift sometimes it feels so hard and sometimes it'll be smooth.

The bike is very good in
4.6
22000 km ownership review.This is the most powerful bike i have ever ridden in this segment.The pickup and top end performance are best in class.The gear shifts was also very refined and smooth.But gear shifts are too notchy and no click sound or feel are in there.The engine refinement is also excellent in this segment.The build quality was also very good in this motor cycle.No color fades or rattling noises are seen in 22k km experience.Breaking was very powerful.But there are only front abs option are available.Which was not working very good.Abs was only *ok*.But there are many features i missed in this segment when i bought.Like side stand cutoff sensor which was very useful.The bike mileage was also very good in city or highway.My bike average mileage is 47 km at present also.Even i am using mild rough ride and speed up to 90 kmph.And when i ride very harshly and in its top end like.120 - 130 in highway.Then my bike gives me 39 - 40kmph.That was good.The bike was very good in approx.Everything but after sales service is very bad.They have to improve there after sales services.

160cc class
5.0
It's very powerful bike in 160cc class in naked street bikes,but it will be good if they offer dual channel abs as optional and also 6th gear is little draw back for such a nice machine hope they add these features in next upgrade, And over all this bike is a perfect monster on streets with 16.1ps and best in class 16.4nm torque that can be very easy to flip in city edge to edge and great performance on highway tooGreat bike for its price point

Performance is not bad but
Performance is not bad but gear change ing problem is a big issue, Setting position is really comfortable for city rides, Rear brakes too bad, Build quality is it's not so good, This bike have a really good quality head light and horn is really great mileage is pretty decent (35-42)kmpl.Overall this bike is a really great option for students and city riders.

Pretty good
4.2
Pretty good and aggressive bike in segment.I am very much comfortable with the sitting posture thought i feel knee pain during long distance rides.Overall performance is good, Seat is comfortable for both rider and pillion.Disadvantage: low mileage.Gear shifting is not good.Several time at 1st and 2nd gear the bike finds neutral automatically.
