                  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.

                  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.

                  Feels Safe and Solid
                  I bought it because of the positive reviews online. Also liked the looks – simple but modern. Mileage and build were key points. This bike is easy to handle for occasional long trips. Checked few options but this one gave the best sitting comfort. Riding experience so far is very good. No major vibration, smooth gear shifting, and comfortable seat. Feels safe at moderate speeds. Engine power stays constant, and no heating problem. It’s comfortable for both rider and pillion. Good bike for daily riders who care more about practicality than style. It delivers mileage and stability without any hassle. Highly recommend for those who ride both short and long distances. Comfortable, steady and gives honest fuel performance.

                  performance and look
                  Look and performance of bike is very good..new innovation of the bike is retro model. Compare to other vehicle cost is low and mileage is also good when comparing with 250CC Bike but disappintment isn't 6 gears, try to overcome from that. Rest over all I am suggesting my friends also to purchase this one.
