Pros Cons of 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.

Pros Cons Aprilia SR 160

Pros

  • Powerful engine
  • Slick CVT gearbox
  • Excellent handling

Cons

  • Firm suspension set-up
  • Expensive
  • Impractical

Verdict

The Aprilia SR 160 is one of the sportiest scooters offered on sale in India. Dynamically sound with entertaining performance, the SR 160 clearly is the one to pick for enthusiasts in the scooter segment. The only downside is its high asking price, and lack of practicality to some extent.
