When I think of this bike, I'd say it's a Genie in a bottle, the confidence that drives through you when you throttle this bike really inspires me. The corners are super smooth. The bike is fabulously fabulous. The riding experience is great but if you're planning on a long hill trip, this might not be your go-to bike. It is more on the sportier side of litmus. Braking is good and for a beginner, it is a great start.

The bike is good, maintenance is a bit higher side but mileage is good so if you consider mileage then it is low cost to handle and speed is ok as the bike is 160cc so you can not expect too much mileage and speed and spare parts are available at service centers but the mechanics do not have much knowledge of bs6 bikes there so service issue is there overall good bike just go for it ... I think its good choice over ns, gixxer, extreme and fz.

I had purchased rtr 160 4v high performance model in july 2021. Till then i have ridden it above 14000 kms. I have done 4 road trips also on this bike. All trips were above 1000 kms. Comfort of this bike very good. Acceleration is superb, i love to ride my bike. I have touched this bike all the way upto 137 kmph. It can go upto 140 kmph i think. Overall i think this is the best bike for under 1.40 laks.

4An all-rounder motorcycle 1 month ago by Nishant Singh

1. Buying experience: the buying experience was okay but the staffs weren't professional and they didn't knew even about basic specifications of this motorcycle. We purchased it on 10th march, 2021, when it was announced that hp version of this was launched and the staffs themselves were not aware about the same and we were assuming that it was previous version. When rc of this motorcycle was released by the rto in which it was mentioned that its power is 17.38 bhp then we were able to be sure that it was hp version.
2. Riding experience: this motorcycle is an all-rounder motorcycle by which you can commute, go for long tours, some off-road duties because it comes with showa suspensions which are quite smooth for indian conditions and you won't be hesitant to jump upon the speed breakers while being at good speeds and also comes with good amount of ground clearance. Overall, it's smooth machine with smoothest gear shifts with some vibrations at higher revs which is still not a problem as it won't bother you in any way.
3. Details about looks, performance, etc: looks are subjective but as per my view it looks bit muscular as we've knight black colour and its pillion grab rail gives 'batman' look which enhances its looks. Its headlight and taillight both are eye catchy especially at night and while doing night rides you don't need to worry about some blind spots as its throw is one of the best in the market be it straight, left and right you can have a complete vision from all such sides even when you're using low beam. Talking about performance, its acceleration is great in the segment and I've achieved the top speed of 139 km/h and goes till 11k rpm out of total of 12k rpm. Talking about cruising speeds, you can effortlessly cruise it at the speeds of 100-105 kmph and in that range it gives 38-40 km/l and when you're riding at the speeds of between 70-80 km/h you can easily get 49-50 km/l by which we can assume that it will give 50-55 km/l while riding economically. When i decided to go for a ride from Lucknow to pratapgarh and back then i got its fuel tank full before going for a ride and, to my surprise, my journey gone free of cost as i completed my total ride of 392 kilometers with that full tank only and when i gone to refuel it then it came upto 8 litres and by dividing i got 49 km/l and the riding range was between 70-85 kmph. I did Lucknow-delhi-Lucknow too and the seating comfort was also great as i did 525 kilometers in a go without much stress. Talking about vibrations, you will feel them only at higher revs upon foot pegs and below your seat but it won't hamper your riding experience in any way like re classic 350 (lol) which can be ridden effortlessly only upto 80 kmph only (we owned classic 350 which got resold in exchange of this motorcycle at good resale value of 1,05,000 after 4 years of its use as i maintained it well). Braking is not upto the mark because of not having enough bite and it doesn't come with radial tyres due to which i don't get enough confidence every time. For city purpose, it's quite nimble and light to go through city traffics but i'm 5'11 and my hands get pain while being for a long time but if one is upto 5'9 then it won't be a problem for him/her.
4. Servicing and maintenance: the service was also not bad as i made up good relations with the service staffs and manager is a great person who himself assisted me in everything till date. But, make sure you read your service manual completely and they can unnecessarily change engine oil if you're not aware about when it has to be changed as it has alternative engine oil change interval (6,000 kilometers or 6 months whichever is earlier) i.e., odd and alternative services like first, third, fifth, etc, and second, fourth, etc, requires only top-up (and when ridden upto 3,000 kilometers only or 3 months whichever is earlier). When service personnel unnecessarily insisted me to get its engine oil changed then i called tvs motor company by its toll free number and the company was continuously in touch with me to help me out and, to my surprise, the service centre got to learn such lesson in no time and i'm still thankful to tvs for it's assistance and till now my service experience is going flawless.
5. Pros and cons:
Pros: (a). Great mileage.
(b). Smooth suspensions.
(c). One of the best for indian conditions with good amount of ground clearance.
(d). Lesser vibrations.
(e). Smooth gearbox.
(f). Comfortable single piece seat.
(g). Good for family purpose.
(h). Low maintenance costs.
Cons: (a). Braking.
(b). Lacks good fit and finish.
(c). No radial tyres.
(d). Single channel abs.
Coming to the conclusion, this motorcycle excels in almost every aspect with some cons which are prevalent in every vehicle.

Service centers have poor knowledge about new BS6 bikes, so they don't know how to solve any of our problems. So bike experience was poor because of them so I don't need this bike any more. I am tired of telling problems again and again after paid service. I don't want to get paid service anymore they have taken lots of money but problems are not solved, so I think this is utter non sense.
