          • Pros
          • Cons

          • TVS Apache RTR 160

            • Good value for money in terms of pricing and performance
            • Extensive list of features for its price point
            • Great handling characteristics

            Bajaj Pulsar N160

            • Great handling - changes direction quickly, feels stable when leaned too
            • Riding posture, although a bit sporty, is quite comfortable
            • One of the few bikes in the 160cc segment to get dual-channel ABS
            • Powerful and smooth engine

          • TVS Apache RTR 160

            • Engine could have been more refined
            • Very closely priced to the RTR 160 4V, which offers better performance and features
            • Though the design in itself is sporty enough, it feels dated at this point of time.

            Bajaj Pulsar N160

            • Looks very similar to the smaller Pulsar N150
            • Rear suspension setup feels a bit uncomfortable, especially on sharp bumps

            Maintenance
            Maintenance cost is too high every 2.5k km & for every maintenance you have to pay 3000 around. Every this is normal. Don't look for comfort seat is too tight you can not ride more then 20 km if ABS Little risky sometimes ABS works when i don't need which cause me to hit somebody. Mileage little low compare to pulsar 150 almost same CC But mileage is way differ.

            Personal Experience from a daily rider
            i bought this bike in 2023 i basically bought this bike for looks and performance, i'd say if you looking for a bike that fall under 1.50 lakhs, daily commute and for the looks i should recommended you go for this bike but if you want performance i'd say check others bikes this bike's performance is neither good nor bad, riding comfort i'd say for riding its good but not for pillion, mileage its good its giving me 51 kmpl but keep it in mind it having a common problem almost in all N160 is engine check light to remove engine check light you need to go to service centre and get done your sensor update and last thing the maintenance cost its also very budget friendly, if you ask should i buy this bike, definitely if you want mileage and looks.
