                        Blend of both style and practicality
                        RTR 180 and 160 2V both may not feel so comfortable at first and it require some time to get used to over long urban commutes. Good for touring as well, best with speeds upto 80-90 kmph and vibrates a lot after that. Decent mileage. Easy on pocket ownership cost. Became more affordable post GST 2.0. Go for it if you are looking for a motorcycle that is simple yet sporty.

                        Apache RTR 180
                        It feels torn out when it goes above 75 kmph but it has good pickup and it has very good riding posture and the bike is best for highways because it does not wobble on high speed and has very good stability. It has many cons and many pros depend on the usage and different perspectives for different users and different age group. It is best for youth because it gives very good mileage so overall this is a positive review. Yeah, For sure, I recommend this bike because it has decent look and good performance in a decent price range with the branding of TVS and I am using this bike from 2012 and till now my bikes engine has opened only 1 time and I have completed 75000 kms from this bike and I'm very satisfied.

                        Need improvement
                        The best bike in its segment. Some improvements are needed, such as ABS, which is a must, and projector headlamps. The gear shifter also needs to be cleaner, and the horn is not good because a heavy horn is the beauty of a Pulsar.

                        The best bike in the 125cc segment and affordable for family use. The update is totally worth it, with design changes and multiple improvements that make this bike completely different in the segment. It is a feature-loaded and budget-friendly bike.

                        Raider review
                        It is better than others in terms of looks and mileage. However, sometimes it feels expensive due to maintenance costs. Gear shifting can also be difficult at times, and the ground clearance is insufficient for two people sitting on the bike, especially when crossing speed breakers.

                        This bike delivers good performance on the highway. I like it because of its sporty looks, good performance, and good mileage. It is comfortable to ride in the city, and the disc brake system provides good safety features.

                        Very comfortable. I have ridden this bike continuously for 120 km. I feel very comfortable. I like off-roading and also used. Average speed 90km. Breaks are too much good. Overall performance of this bike is amazing.

                        Bike is best for city riding but gets little aching for longer rides, above 70kmpl significant vibrations can be felt everything else is very good including mileage, maintainance, features, screen, maneourability, power, pickup etc i have tried this bike in almost all terrains and I am satisfied with whatever they are providing at this price point.

                        TVS RAIDER Was Fantastic
                        I loved this bike and its mileage is surprisingly amazing. Disk brakes are too affective in such a small distance or emergency. Looks wise TVS Raider is too awesome. Features are also good. Calls monitoring, gps, eco performance, boost modes are fantastic.
