Pros Cons of KTM 125 Duke

Pros

  • Sharp Styling
  • Premium components and build
  • Dynamic handling

Cons

  • Pricey for its performance
  • Stiff suspension
  • Rivals offer better value

Verdict

The 125 Duke offers similar road presence, fantastic road manners and a suitably entertaining personality for young riders to hone their skills to graduate to bigger and more performance oriented bikes. And being a 125 cc, it may well be passed off as a relatively 'safe' option, at least while convincing the parent. Considering the KTM 200 Duke is at least ₹ 30,000 more expensive, the 125 Duke certainly offers a relatively affordable and accessible entry into the KTM family.

Pros Cons TVS Apache RTR 160 4V

Pros

  • Refined BS6-compliant engine with improved fuel injection technology
  • Sharp handling with commendable grip from TVS Remora radial tires
  • Enhanced design with a new LED headlamp and race-inspired graphics

Cons

  • Slight reduction in power output compared to the previous model
  • Lacks the SmartXonnect Bluetooth system, which is available on other models
  • 5-speed gearbox could have been slicker for better shifting experience

Verdict

The TVS Apache RTR 160 4V BS6 model continues to be one of the best options in the 160cc segment, offering a refined engine and sporty handling. The updates in design and the new headlamp add to its appeal, though the slight drop in power and the absence of advanced features like SmartXonnect might leave some wanting more. Overall, it remains a solid and stylish performer in its class, offering good value for its price.
