Pros Cons of Bajaj Avenger Street 160

Pros

  • Good stability
  • Decent engine
  • Affordable cruiser

Cons

  • Lack features
  • Dated design
  • Braking could be better

Verdict

The Bajaj Avenger Street 160 offers an affordable package in a cruiser-like design over what is essentially a commuter motorcycle. Ergonomics are feet forward and the suspension is softly sprung, not so great while going over broken surfaces. While the engine is good enough to potter around the city, the Avenger Street 160 is happiest at speeds under 80 kmph, and that limits its touring capabilities.

Pros Cons TVS Apache RTR 160

Pros

  • Offers a fun and peppy ride with three riding modes: Rain, Urban, and Sport
  • Lightweight at 138 kg, providing agile handling and easy maneuverability in city traffic
  • Fully digital instrument cluster with SmartXonnect system and Bluetooth connectivity for modern features like navigation

Cons

    • Engine shows its age, with vibrations setting in after 80 kmph
    • Ride quality feels too soft, and the front suspension bottoms out over sharp bumps
    • Ergonomics may feel cramped for taller and heavy-set riders, limiting comfort on longer rides

Verdict

The TVS Apache RTR 160 2V remains a fun and agile motorcycle, especially in urban settings, with a peppy engine and lightweight frame. However, the engine’s age shows with noticeable vibrations at higher speeds, and its softer suspension affects ride quality on rough roads. While it’s still a good option for those looking for a simple, no-nonsense ride, the marginal price difference with the more advanced Apache RTR 160 4V makes the latter a better choice in this segment.
