Good and better
Everything is nice and clean comfort can be upgraded more Sure thing! The TVS Apache RTR 160 is a solid choice in the 160cc segment. Here’s something good about it: One of its biggest strengths is the excellent balance between performance and mileage. It delivers peppy acceleration, thanks to its refined engine, making it fun for city rides and occasional highway sprints. Plus, its nimble handling and sharp styling give it a sporty feel without compromising on comfort. Also, TVS has worked on vibration control, so the newer models feel smoother compared to earlier versions. Bonus points for features like a fully digital instrument cluster and Bluetooth connectivity (in the latest variants).

Must buy for this price segment
Very good for city use and very good quality of accelerator and brakes. it has a nice and good seat quality. It comes with wide tyres which gives it a good grip on the road and help to prevent from falling from the bike. The posture can be more good but it can be manageable for longer rides. And it's sound is also good.

Best bike with best handling
Best bike I ever ride. Its handling is amazing. Its comfortable for rider but not good for the ladies who seats backside. I ride it with my highest speed of 120kmph. But more importantly its brakes , we can drive too fast without any fear because of it brake. At 120kmph , handling was too good. Suspension of this bike is too good.

About bike
The bike engine was very refined and buttersmooth, the riding quality was also very good. The mileage was as expected it is giving me around 40 to 45 km per litre. The breaking was very fast stopping and good effectiveness. And we can also do touring on this bike very well. And overall the bike was very good.
