User Reviews
Great Performance and Handling but City Mileage CoI chose the TVS Apache RTR 160 4V TFT USD model mainly for its sporty design, features and strong road presence. The bike feels very stable on highways and comfortable for daily city rides. Handling is sharp and confidence inspiring. It is also good for family usage when riding normally. Overall the build quality, braking and features like TFT display make the bike feel premium in this segment. Ride quality so far has been very good. The Apache RTR 160 4V TFT USD has excellent handling and stability. In highways the bike feels planted and smooth even at higher speeds. Braking performance and suspension are also good for most road conditions. But the biggest downside for me is the city mileage. In city I am getting around 28 to 32 kmpl, which is lower than expected for a 160cc bike. If someone wants good performance, sporty design, great handling and modern features, the Apache RTR 160 4V TFT USD is a very good choice. However mileage is the only reason I hesitate to recommend it to everyone. Competitors like Pulsar N160 give better mileage in city conditions. So if mileage is your main priority you may consider other options, but apart from that the bike is really enjoyable to ride.Read More- I switched from R15 to BobberI bought my 1st bobber this February 09 2026. I was looking for a cruiser, I went down to RE but test ride wasn't available and didn't got what I was looking in terms of looks and power. Then, my friend suggested me to checkout JAWA YEZDI MOTORCYCLES. When a saw JAWA 42 BOBBER i really liked the looks and fit and finish of the motorcycle. Later I take the test ride and this is beast exactly what I was looking for... I booked the motorcycle same day in August 2025 and took delivery this month. However the clutch and gear shifting is not as smooth as Japanese motorcycle. But that is completely fine not an issue.Read More

As about the mileage it is good as it's around 85 km and and the comfort it gives is too good as I also have activa 6g but I feel very comfortable in this. The negative I find is that the accessories are not available at the showroom very difficult to find it's accessories. Yes I highly recommend this scooty as this is far better than the cheap electric scooty that are available in the market. I recommend this to the people who look for looks. Design and mileage.
