TVS Apache RTR 160 vs TVS Radeon 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 commuter bike from TVS is a near-perfect commuter offering comfortable ergonomics, efficient mileage and a smooth gearbox. If you’re looking for a bike that is robust, stylish, sports a potent engine, is easy to handle and provides excellent comfort, especially during long drives, TVS Radeon becomes an ideal choice. However, with just a few tweaks such as stronger brakes & silent starter, it could have well surpassed its competitors like Bajaj Radeon110 ABS and the latest Hero Splendor.
