That analog tachometer on Pulsar is an old school charm and still looks pleasing... 😇

@thangarajj Год назад

It looks beautiful actually :)

@pravinmurthy Год назад

With most parameters being so close, the dual channel ABS of the new Pulsar is enough for making it my most favorite in the segment..

After purchasing,u will spend half of ur days in service center and garage

@yashsahu571 Год назад

The wider issue was that Bajaj ,once they launched pulsar , then after never really worked on design for a long time ,and solely relied heavily on just mechanical performance and simultaneously taking advantage of the brand's name that it created in early 90's meanwhile TVS understood the importance of tech inclusion and extra features provided in budget friendly bikes and took gamble while continuously improving design and performance. TVS ever since they stepped into racing , has been evolving very aggressively and that's a big plus for them , at least in this segment .

@kimjong-un4954 Год назад

I just got my N160 dual ABS yesterday and i love it

@suyashmane271 Год назад

The digital instrument cluster on TVS has ton of information, but don't know why I like the Bajaj s semi digital cluster, it's very appealing. 😍

@ArunSapaare Год назад

Oh boy, this was the video I was waiting so long to watch! Good comparison video. As always, Rishaad does a mega job! My next suggestion would be to bring together all the 3 Avengers of the 160 segment, the TVS Apache 160, Bajaj Pulsar 160 & the Hero Xtreme 160, that would be a blast of a video! Keep up the good job Autocar India.

More color options are something that both Bajaj and TVS can work on.

@sparkx4109 Год назад

*If TVS gives dual channel abs to 160 4v then it will be the king of the segment, as the pillion seat and ride comfort of TVs is far better than pulsar*

@deepbje5656 Год назад

I own N160 & let me tell you, it does stand out. People literally look at it & admire it and i don't think same can't be said for apache as 4v is nearly 4+ yrs old, only headlight changed in newer verisons.

@pointbreaker9508 Год назад

N160 definitely a head Turner bike🔥

@MAX-xw8xq Год назад

Pulsar brought the revolution in Indian motorcycle industry. Bajaj was plagued by poor quality of spares. I still fondly remember my pre owned pulsar 150dtsi 2008 model with 18 lts tank... Refills were at thousand kilometre intervals on odometer in city.... Sits comfortably at 80-85kmph all day. Those were the days. Eventually give away due frequent failures after clocking 30000kms

@MrTransporter5 Год назад

@imnoone8532 Год назад

@@MrTransporter5 yeah idk why no one talks about poor handling from Bajaj bikes !

@indrajith_indra Год назад

I would disagree with the mass opinion of modes being unnecessary and gimmicky. Only a person who has used it often can tell its practicality..for others it seems like a gimmick. For me its most useful for city rides and highways. There is a clear cut difference in power and mileage obtained from the modes and so as speeds. And we can adjust these according to our necessity. Rain mode is effective during rains, which i feel the bike gripping more on the road than normal(maybe only my intuition). Surprisingly my pillion also felt the same (maybe his intuition 😂). But anyway boosts my confidence. So its nothing but a very useful day to day practical feature than a gimmick.

@reubendias18 Год назад

Rishad should do a comparison between the RTR 200, N250 and the MT-15. I've seen these videos elsewhere but I'd definitely watch his take on it.

Bought N160 a week ago and believe me in this segment and in this price range N160 is unbeatable... Looks, performance, safety, features, comfort everything is just remarkable...N160 is such a revolution in Bajaj market currently...In 160 segment missing this bike will be regretfull....

@wong2292 Год назад

I haven't ride n160 yet but I used my friends Apache 160 for a year. So I have a little mixed experience. No doubt mileage and power is good. But frequently changing gears is annoying. In traffic it was a headache for me. Handling is also terrible in corner, i got no confidence in corners.. Even i rode other heavy bikes too, but cornering was never was a problem on other bikes. Seat comfort is top notch, rode 150km non stop without a single hault. Not a single problem. Exhaust note is so good.

@GiGaChadAF Год назад

For someone who is 5'6", mostly a car amd scooter user, relaxed rider.. I don't like to rev anywhere near the redline, and safety is more important, which one is the better bike. I will be test driving those anyway, but just asking from the general public at large for some cues. Also, dont ask why i am in this budget if I am a relaxed rider, I always felt wider tyres are safe so.. i won't settle for thinner tyres than the current sizes.

@vaishakh_chandrasekhar Год назад

Really needed comparison. I don't know why all reviews are different which seems little fishy.

@hitlerrabha3059 Год назад

Bajaj only updates in new paint scheme rather inclusion of new tech features and new refined engine which is very important nowadays for a rider.TVS has rightly included new technical features which rightly serves as userfriendly for a rider. Bajaj still needs to improve the refinement levels of its engine as also TVS (though TVS is really improving).

@praneethchakri7052 Год назад

I picked pulsar after test riding both..the most annoying thing in apache are 1. The side stand handle comes between your heel and foot when disengaged and It always hurdles my feet whilst switching gears. 2. At higher gears even if we lower the speed a bit, the engines keeps getting stalled and off. None of these issues were there in pulsar.!

@manu201022 Год назад

Apache 160 4v has pretty flat power delivery, which isn't much impressive if you are used to strong midrange surge of FZ / Gixxer / Pulsar. Otherwise, it's a great bike with amazing handling, strong top end power and butter smooth engine.

@rajatkhandelwal885 Год назад

We need a pulsar f125 with first in the segment 4v engine or vva maybe. With all other exact same f250 specs such as breaks suspension design etc. Basically a more fuel efficient, equally powerful and better looking one than n160.

@TheLazyWandererMys Год назад

Coming back to the bikes, I would rather pick the RTR if i really had to. Barring the garrish red accents on the seats (ugh!!) and the alloys too, I think it actually looks better of the two, swap the headlight with the pulsar and you have the better package too. :D Also it would be only fair to compare it with the new one no?

@mrinalchoudhury7423 Год назад

Those red seats and alloys looks much better in person and they aren't that bright like u see inthe video
