Pros Cons of Hero Destini 125

Pros

  • Good fuel efficiency
  • Comfortable riding position
  • Engine Performance 

Cons

  • No Disc Brake
  • Overall Quality
  • Lack of underseat storage

Verdict

The Hero Destini 125 isn't a path-breaking scooter in any sense; neither does it try to be, nor is it intended to be. It's designed and made to do family duties and all of it, it does fairly satisfactorily. The Hero Destini 125 is now the most affordable 125 cc scooter available on sale. With a sales and service network as vast and easily accessible as Hero MotoCorp's, the Destini 125 certainly will make a mark in the 125 cc scooter segment, and that is precisely what Hero intends to achieve.

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.
