Value for Money and Fun to Ride
I’ve been riding my Apache RTR 160 for the past one year, and honestly, it’s been a great experience. The bike looks really sporty — I still get compliments from friends and strangers now and then. It’s quick off the line and super fun to ride, especially in city traffic. The handling feels sharp, and the bike stays stable even during tight turns.I usually ride in the city, and the comfort is pretty good for short to medium rides. For longer trips, the seat can feel a bit stiff for the pillion. I get around 48 kmpl, which is fair for a 160cc bike. Vibration is noticeable once you go above 80 kmph, but otherwise, the engine feels smooth. Maintenance-wise, it’s not too expensive. As long as you stick to regular servicing, you won’t have any major issues. The only minor thing I’d say is the rear suspension feels a bit hard on bad roads. Overall, if you’re looking for a stylish, reliable, and budget-friendly bike with good performance, Apache 160 is a solid pick. I’ve really enjoyed riding it.

My Opinion on hero Xtreme 160r
Speed and look are awesome. And handling are outstanding. By the way. It's value for money. Iam saying like this because iam using this bike from 1 year and it's still giving me it's best. But theres only speed limit of 120. One thing I like the most are it's headlight it's so bright and clear you can see properly in the night and dark areas

Hero xtreme 160r disadvantages
Average is too low and maintenance cost was so high for this. More bikes in same segment are also giving better experience. You can buy apache rtr and 4v in same segment. I suggested to purchase other bikes. But this bike looks so satisfying even in hero brand. It looks classy and racy and in black and red colour it looks just amazing.
