As you guys know the competition in the market for 150cc bikes. All the companies are making their best out of them. Lets talk about some famous bike in 150-160cc segment


1> Pulsar 150


2>CB dazzler


3>HH cbz extreme


4>Yamaha FZ & Fazer series


5>Apache RTR 160.... (these are my options in the market)


It is outdated bike which I rode it for more than 4yrs I was done with it.. it was a good bike but we need to change with time..


CB dazzler...


i never rode this bike so I can't comment on it .. But I heard that it is really smooth bike in 150cc


HH cbz extreme..


I was comfortable with this bike ... But my right wrist didn't accept it to twist it bcoz there is no fun in riding a bike which is too quite


Yamaha FZ & Fazer


They both have the same heart. Yamaha as just added a stylish headlamps to its fazer. It's a good bike easy to handle.. But as an INDIAN im not fyn with its mileage. Finally here comes Apache   RTR. TVS has done good job . This bike is really impressive one among the above mentioned bikes. It has a 160cc heart just 10cc more than the above bikes .


My personal experience after riding this bike ...


Pros:


1.It has excellent pick up best among its competitors..


2.I never expected a bike with 160cc to touch a top speed off 113 kmph with a pillion on..( I hope it would reach about 125+kmph with no pillion on)


3.Mileage is very impressive it gave me 54+ in city (at speeds of 50-58)


on highways it gave about 40km/ltr ( at the speed of 100+)


4.Looks .. it got the best looks I really love its looks .


5.It is easy to drive in the traffic conditions.. as its a compact bike the little beast..


6.The petal disc does its job very well really impressive .. drum brake does its job




  1. Digital console well built good to look at.. notifies you about everything like low fuel, servicing due , low oil , etc it has 2 trip meters , its records the top speed and not the least lap timings can be recorded it is the unique feature




the only thing u need to do is just twist ur right wrist and look at ur rear view mirrors ...


u can see friends struggling to pass u


cons:


i think there are nothing much


1.sleek rear Tyre .. you may slide on the wet surface.. and should be careful when u drive through


pot holes


2.Seating position I got back pain and wrist pain ( may be bcoz of my sitting posture )




  1. Vibrations you can feel them at the speeds of 50-60 mostly , but they disappear soon when u ride it at the speed of 60+ ( it is negotiable )




4.Gearbox its little bit hard but its not a problem u get addicted to it (this problem is also negotiable )


comparing to other bikes I think this is the best bike


I said you about the other bikes and mentioned about them in a line why not to choose them...


Apache RTR is the best ... I personally advice my friends to own this beast...


you can count on me guys as I know how important this review will be for a biker to choose a bike


ride safe , put your helmet on ....
