Bajaj Pulsar N160 vs TVS Apache 160 4V | Detailed Comparison

The introduction of the Bajaj Pulsar N160 has once again heated up the 160cc motorcycle market. Bajaj will have challenges because the market is one of the most competitive in the nation and a favorite among many young people.

Motorcycles in the 160cc market provide the ideal blend of reliable performance and everyday travel. Additionally, this sector offers high fuel economy, something many college-bound young people should consider before purchasing a motorcycle.

Since companies are constantly seeking methods to grow their market share, nearly all of the motorcycle producers in India have a distinctive product to offer in the 160cc market. Despite the segment’s wide range of options, we will contrast the recently released Bajaj Pulsar N160 with the TVS Apache RTR 160 4v.

We will compare four factors in this comparison: design, features & comfort, engine, and price.

Design:

Vehicle design is quite individualized; what I may find appealing may not be appealing to others. However, the Bajaj Pulsar N160 and TVS Apache RTR 160 4V are also made with young people in mind.

Beginning with the most recent design, the Bajaj Pulsar N160 is visually comparable to the Pulsar N250 and has a considerably more appealing overall appearance than the TVS Apache RTR 150 4V. In addition, features like the projector headlights and the underbelly exhaust give the motorbike a somewhat sportier and more appealing appearance.

The current upgrade to the TVS Apache RTR 160 4V, on the other hand, has made the motorbike seem a little crisper and more contemporary with the redesigned headlamp assembly, DRLs, body graphics, and color possibilities. However, it falls significantly short of the Pulsar in this aspect.
