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 Ducati XDiavel

Pros

  • Comfortable riding stance
  • Torquey motor
  • Loaded with electronics

Cons

  • Uncomfortable suspension
  • Expensive spares & service
  • Limited service network

Verdict

The standard XDiavel costs ₹ 15.87 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi). So, if you're looking for a cruiser with looks that stand out, and with edge-of-the-seat performance, the Ducati XDiavel could well be that bike for you. But the only way to really describe the experience of what the Ducati XDiavel is - you have to get astride and grab a handful of that throttle. Life could suddenly get very interesting indeed.
