TVS Apache RTR 160 vs Suzuki Gixxer Comparison

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.

The Suzuki Gixxer may be a bit long in the tooth, having been around for close to a decade. When it was launched it immediately set new benchmarks for the segment, and even today, offers a very well-rounded package. The Gixxer is the near-perfect beginner motorcycle, which has decent power and performance from its 155 cc engine, impressive refinement and good ride and handling.
