Expierence with Pulsar N160
Incredible breaking system and emergency stops, also expireneced the free handle module to get gaps while driving, also torck capacity little bit, rest is everything is fine. The battery power may decrease when the vehicle is parked outdoors or during rainy weather, so proper care is necessary. The mileage is good and excellent overall.

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.

Over all good bike and also it's all versions
Riding quality is too good. Very huge and look is too brilliant. Just 155 cc but still beat any 200 cc bike. Engine is too reliable. Average is very good compare to other bikes. It gives me 40km per litre mileage and this is too good because it's a sports bike and still it give 40 kmpl mileage. I like it.

A good sports bike
This bike is meant for our age group especially for age group between 18 to 25 years. Going for long drive on this bike will feel like participating in bike race as pick is so good and balance is also very good. Pick up of this bike is very good and you will not feel tired after having long drives. And balance of this bike is very phenomenal and due to which chances of skidding is very less even on slippery roads. Yes, I recommend this bike specially for youngsters who like to ride a racing bike. This has amazing pick up and drives smoothly even on mud and bumpy roads. Though the mileage is low and drives smoothly.

Bike's performance is an excellent, powerful pickup, starts easily, one handed used only, driven 7700 km only within 3 and half years. Overall experience is memorable, sound is normal, highway experience is totally amazing, driving R15S vs other bikes is totally different, average can be maintained if we drive well.

The best bike of segment
Its a stylish bike. Very good looking and powerful with a muscular body and heavy duty. I love the bike since beginning, my dream bike and very solid bike. Better in every aspect in mileage, great in looks and performance. It's very sharp looking and comfortable for long rides also a good mileage provider, good acceleration and pickup, fast, smooth, tension free riding and less maintenance bike for sure. In this price range, it's the best. The best bike. I would definitely recommend to young guys, not for old grandpa's, it gonna make you feel royal and elegant, very strong presence and that's why I am recommending this bike to all of my friends.

BEST IN THE SEGMENT 🖤
Best Bike in that price segment you can ever with that loaded features, i own Ronin base black variant and it's worth every penny and it gives you a decent mileage of 40-42kpml and 35-38 in city conditions and offers good riding comfort and it also looks cool the only downside is it's service, I hope TVS will look into it and improve.
