                  TVs rtr apeche
                  The TVS Apache series (such as the RTR 160 and 200 4V) is widely praised for offering aggressive styling, class-leading power, responsive handling, and high-tech features like riding modes and smart connectivity at an affordable price, though riders note some engine vibrations at high speeds and a slightly firm ride. A visual walk through and test ride highlighting the features of the updated Apache lineup.

                  A Durable Bike with Excellent Ride Quality
                  I chose this bike because I love riding the Apache. I haven't found the same level of comfort in any other bike in this segment and the riding posture is also very comfortable and perfectly balanced and relaxed on every ride. The ride quality of Apache RTR 160 has been very good so far. For long routes, city ride the most important things are comfort and riding posture, and that's what really makes this bike's ride quality better. Everyone has their own choice, but I would definitely choose this bike in this segment. As per current regulations, bikes are subject to scrapper after 15 years, and if this bike is properly maintained, it still run like day one even after 15 years. It's a very durable machine.

It is very comfortable bike for short or long people for ride with a good feature and its mileage is also very good with the 160 cc engine ever with a full power in engine. It has 3 riding modes also for ride that are very usable for bike. Yes I recommend this bike for a people who wants a good feature and a very good and power full engine.

                  Best bike for daily city rides.
                  I chose the Apache RTR 160 because it has a sporty design good mileage and strong pickup which is perfect for daily city use. It feels stable at high speed and the exhaust note is enjoyable. The only downside is its slightly stiff suspension on bad roads and the seat could be softer for long rides. The ride quality has been smooth and the engine responds quickly which makes traffic rides comfortable. Handling is sharp and I feel confident while turning. On long rides I feel a little vibration and the riding position can cause mild back pain. Still it is enjoyable for both short and medium rides. Yes I would recommend the Apache RTR 160 to riders who want a stylish bike with good performance for daily use. It has reliable mileage and great road presence but those who want soft suspension or long touring comfort should take a proper test ride before deciding.

                  Highly recomended for highway bike
                  Engine is refined, no vibration even driving on speed 100, suspension is stiffer side which become positive for highway rides. Good highway if your continuously riding on highway. Will get 40 plus mileage on highway if cruising on 80 speed. Handling is good. Breaking is fantastic even on high speed braking will provide enough confidence to control on it. Bigger negative is, need to shift the gear during on city rides. I would its one of bad bike if you are driving on city. Go for it if you riding on highway, will get 40 plus mileage which is an edge of this bike. Smother and refined engine will provide an next level experience on highway. DUAL Channel abs and traction work fantastic and provide too much confidence during braking.

                  Best luxury cruiser with modern vintage combo
                  I chose this bike for that vintage cruiser style. It is so stylish it is literally a head turner, from kids to elder people everyone has clicked a photo with my bike. The features and performance of the bike is beyond commendable very modern. First things first the ride height is low so even a short person can comfortably get on the bike. I commute daily 52 kms for work and I have been getting an average of 35.7km/l very affordable. The handling is so easy as the handles of the bike are low compared to other cruisers, also the bike looks big but the weight is so light. I would really recommend this bike because I have used it for more than 15000 kms in almost 2 years and I can definitely say it is the best cruiser bike. The Honda engine is the best. It is very stylish and will give you the feeling of luxury. Performance 10/10, comfort 10/10 and the pillion also has a lot of fun. Mileage also I am getting 35.7kmpl

                  Better than RE
                  Purchased after test drive, excellent performance, comfortable and pleasure on riding highways, tall gearing and big gear lever are the only issue, as a mechanical engineer this bike feels like riding a power machine. Purchased if you want great experience not to flex the friends, seems like different from common bikes.

                  3 Months, 5k km and No Regrets with the CB350
                  I always wanted a retro cruiser. 2 months before purchasing the bike I didn't know that cb350 exist and was leaning more towards RE, but one fine day cb350s insta ad came and I tested it and fell in love with this bike. In 3 months I have ridden this bike just over 5k kms and the bike is butter smooth. The engine refinement is top notch. And the way people look at this bike with curiosity just boosts my confidence while riding. I once encounter a steep off-road patch and the bike went smoothly through it. From the reviews I came across many issues regarding rusting problem but for me it's not the issue as of now and I regularly use wd40. I would definitely recommend this bike. If you are confused between RE and this bike definitely go for Honda cb350. It is worth every penny. But first of all test ride the bike and see if it matches your expectations or not.
