Pros & Cons

Pros
Cons

TVS Apache RTR 160
- Good value for money in terms of pricing and performance
- Extensive list of features for its price point
- Great handling characteristics
Bajaj Pulsar NS200
- Offers great performance and quick acceleration
- Now comes with a lot of new features like smartphone connectivity and turn-by-turn navigation
- The new headlight design gives the bike a premium look

TVS Apache RTR 160
- Engine could have been more refined
- Very closely priced to the RTR 160 4V, which offers better performance and features
- Though the design in itself is sporty enough, it feels dated at this point of time.
Bajaj Pulsar NS200
- The suspension setup is now a bit stiff and makes the rider feel most bumps and potholes
- The seat height is a bit too high and the wide seat makes the bike inaccessible to shorter riders
- Engine vibrations start creeping in at higher speeds and can be annoying

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.
