                  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 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.

                  I chose this bike because it is good bike for a middle class family with very good performance and good 160 cc engine with full power and stylish look and not much very high maintenance cost and it is very good for either is urban area or highway that's why I chose this bike. 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. If anyone wants a good and powerful bike with a very good mid range mileage then I will suggest this bike for him.

                  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.

                  review of bike.
                  Splendor is a good bike for daily commuters as it delivers a good mileage and smooth performance. In one word, a buget king or mileage king. Moreover maintainance is also low, parts are easily available in market. I will recommend this bike for all the office commuter as well as for local users. Overall nice bike.
