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 Hero Super Splendor

Pros

  • Great build quality
  • Good quality parts
  • Fuel-efficient

Cons

  • Conservative design
  • Poor front brake bite
  • vibrations at higher revs

Verdict

The 2018 Super Splendor is a bike that is Hero's entry-level offering in the 125 cc segment. It is not high on features but at the same time, what sets it apart is that it is dependable, it will get the job done and keep getting it done for a long time. There is this inexplicable feel of solidity to all the Hero bikes, which we feel is a reason why Hero does so well in rural markets and so does the Super Splendor too.
