                • Cons

                • Bajaj Pulsar N160

                  • Great handling - changes direction quickly, feels stable when leaned too
                  • Riding posture, although a bit sporty, is quite comfortable
                  • One of the few bikes in the 160cc segment to get dual-channel ABS
                  • Powerful and smooth engine

                  TVS Raider

                  • Build quality is excellent
                  • Powerful enough for city commutes
                  • Top-end variants get a rear disc brake and single-channel ABS

                • Bajaj Pulsar N160

                  • Looks very similar to the smaller Pulsar N150
                  • Rear suspension setup feels a bit uncomfortable, especially on sharp bumps

                  TVS Raider

                  • Lever feedback can be better for braking
                  • Fuel tank should’ve been larger

                  Best bike in this segment..
                  Bike is very smooth in city as well as highways. It has very comfortable seat and posturing with a good mileage and smooth and refined engine. Bike is overall good by looks and performance in the segment of 160cc. I ride the bike 400km in once and it is very smooth and no vibration in handle and refined engine with soothing performance. I only stop bike for half an hour after crossing 250kms and bike is overall perfect for far journey by bike. I would like to recommend this bike to office employees who want a stable bike also mileage, performance, and good engine with a genuine budget and for family bike, it is good. This bike has it own craze in youth who want sporty bike in low budget as it is a fast commuter bike.

                  Tvs raider owner review
                  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.

                  last 4 years of riding rapido with long rides and how good it Handels .
                  It's been 4 years now I have been riding tvs raider, purchased it from susheel motors Kukatpally. I have already completed around 45000 km approx and completed 1500 km ride from Hyderabad to west bengal in 32 hours with minimum break time, it didn't gave any issue like engine heating and didn't gave any trouble, worth buying. Service was good. no delay in service and coustomer support is good.

                  The bike looks stylish and feels comfortable to ride. Performance is smooth, pickup is good, and handling is easy. Mileage is also decent for daily use. Build quality and features are impressive for the price. Overall, it is a good choice for both city rides and longer journeys great experience with this beast.
