That analog tachometer on Pulsar is an old school charm and still looks pleasing... 😇
It looks beautiful actually :)
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
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 .
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. 😍
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.
I just got my N160 dual ABS yesterday and i love it
More color options are something that both Bajaj and TVS can work on.
i wonder how white n160 would look like
@@H2oSANIOX it would look sick with black graphics
What about chrome N160??
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
U forgot about the terrible weight distribution n poor handling too...
@@MrTransporter5 yeah idk why no one talks about poor handling from Bajaj bikes !
Wow! Two of my most favourite bikes.
Agree, I would go with N160 as I am 6'3 tall.
6:57 glad to know Jeremy Clarkson is on autocar india 👍
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.
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.
*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*
Awesome, review with the neat differences to take decisions.
N160 definitely a head Turner bike🔥
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....
Perfect review and verdict! 👍
Bajaj's Stiff suspension is the major issue for City riders.... Be it ns200... Or few other recent launches
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.
With just 50% volume.. you give very good feel in terms of explanation
The verdict.......
As expected
TVS it is
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.
If only the RTR 160 had a duel channel abs #hopefullysoon
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.
Tq, very informative
Much awaited review
Two words - Bulls Eye.
Neat review👏
good compairsation between 2 bikes. good job
Pulsar dual channel ABS models should get all color options
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).
TVS for the pick always!
Great video brother 🤗🤗
Really needed comparison. I don't know why all reviews are different which seems little fishy.
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.
Pulsar N160 killer look❤
I have read all comments
And N160 is best Option 🔥 (for long time use)
Even after so many months of launching I see very very less number of n250 n160 and f250, bajaj should give importance to the quality of spares and body parts
Lmao n160 is launched just a month ago
lmao N160 was not even sold here in Bangalore a week back...
1:58 surprised Pokemon? 🤣🤣🤣🤣
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.!
Tvs still not offering dual channel abs,its a shame...
For those who don't need it,shut it ,and skid😂
Nice comparison
I'm waiting for Pulsar N160 4v 😊
Might be a little late to ask but which bike in the 160cc category is best for really tall riders? I'm 6'4
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.
both ground clearance which is better?
The Pulsar looks more pleasing to the eye
Well presented and informative. Just a query which has a better seat comfort for side sitting mom🎉🎉🎉
Plz do a similar comparison when the new leaked Apache Rtr 160 4v launches.
I am confused between Pulser,apache and hornet... which is give sports feel with function
I feel N160 is good while comparing to Apache except that it missed on tech
You get dual ch abs as trade-off for BT and driving modes
"Clash of the Titans"🔥
Watching this video sitting beside my apache rtr 160 4v Special Edition
Is nissan closing shop in india
They dont seem to have any new test mules on the road or nor do anywebsites have an idea on new models
Make review on n250 dual channel abs
Always Racing DNA,That's TVS for you
Apache 200 vs Pulsar N250 comparison please
I am activa rider and use passion pro on weekends which is best for me Apache 160 4v vs pulsar n160 vs fzs 4??
Please compare it with Apache rtr160 2v model. Like this one
Man... the Pulsars 0-100 in 21 secs is even slower than v1 FZ 😶 Not that outright acceleration matters much in this segment, but still in 2022, a 160cc bike should do 0-100 in at least 15 secs.
which engine is more reliable?
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?
Those red seats and alloys looks much better in person and they aren't that bright like u see inthe video
@@mrinalchoudhury7423 indeed. I too thought the same about the red bits on the bike, but they are way better in person and imo it's a better head Turner than the pulsar.
Which of these will have less vibrations in long run. Pulsar bikes perform well when new and starts vibrating after few years
This is completely different engine from the rest pulsars' engines. So don't pass any judgement. In short don't generalise it.
@@struggler5960 Bajaj has a reputation of weak spares,and frequent service interval,
So,u may lick bajajs boots.....
But the fact is....u will spend all ur time in garage after 4-5yrs .....
@@struggler5960 every bike segment has different engine. What's so new in this one of which you are so confident about.
You talk like a Pulsar Fan Boy
Apache 160 4v the undefeated king 👑 of 160 segment
N160 me slipper clutch hai?
Rishad is the only journalist I love listening to after Shumi.
Xtreme 160r stealth edition (2022) is 🔥🔥
should have compared xtreme 160 too..
All hail the King RTR👑
Can you guys pls compare this pulsar 160 with its own old gen pulsar 135 ls in terms of power
135 beats it.
very nice👍💖💖😍
what about the quality of service Rishaad?
First unbaised comparison from any journalists, thankyou alot
Apache hand down 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
Pulsar gives the tough fight but still apache is winner
Which bike has better engine and less vibrations?
As an Apache owner for about 6 years the only annoying thing about this machine is its vibrations 🙄
Which model is this?
Hero Xtreme 160r should have been included here.
Pulsar n160 is clear winner here because of more safety and modern day features
TVS has taken that DRL directly from the BMW.
6:30 uh oh pulsar is surrounded by apache from two sides xD
Autocad has become a habit have to see it alwayz
Still both Bajaj & TVS not changed that alloys wheels design 😂😂 . Come on man that alloy design in TVS that was in 1st gen RTR series 🤣 & alloy in pulsar was 1st seen in 1st gen NS200 😝.
Vera maari bro 🔥👍
Hey any tall riders here? I am planning to buy Apache and my height is 6'1. Any tall riders riding this bike for long run? Can anyone please tell me how is the comfort ?
In urban mode apache gives 55kmpl in highway
Apache 160 4v special edition 🔥🔥🔥
Sir please compare it with hornet 2.0
Pulsar n160 headlight is amazing but the back seat is worst
Do the same video on their bigger siblings
Update is most important customer point of view is better than Apache 160 RTR 4v
Tvs apache rtr new model review please
TVS is brilliant, but the riding position for 5 11 is cramped, not sure why they never fix it or introduce a different model
*RE Hunter vs Ronin* please. We would like here it from you
Apache has slipper clutch? Didn't know
For 6feet person which will be more suitable
N160 has fresh look
Apache look is out of date
hero xtreme 160r is also a very good option
Yes exactly. Both n160 and xtreme rival the rtr160 toe to toe. They completely forgot the extreme
The exhaust of Apache! irkkkk
N160🖤
0:45 this brand new Pulsar is a little down on PAA! 😭
