Good perfomer
Overall good performance, mileage is good around 40-45 in city ,requires proper maintenance. Equipped with ABS provides safety and confidence. The tyres need to be replaced around 25000-30000 km . Battery can last long 4 or even 5 years . Should go to service at proper intervals , which ensures long life .

Best one apache
My overall experience is very good , this bike provides a great riding experience along with a better comfort position and safety measures. One of the best one in its segment.As a rider I always prioritised apache over any other bikes and this one exactly fits that perfectly. If you are looking for a best option in this 160cc segment then surely go for it it will be worth it.

A Budget Superbike
This is the first bike I bought ...but after that I realised why I bought it..very very worst customer care support and service centre are worst in my area.Apart from that Smooth experience with bike and it is more comfortable only one thing service costs are too high.if you maintain it good then it will best for the money.But it's a good superbike category falls under budget.

Perfect for this price but seat is a little hard.
The seat is not that soft and not that comfortable for long ride but overall performance and looks are great worth buying, breaks and suspension of KYB is also great.
