2014 TVS Apache RTR 160 - Scarily Fast!

Choose Unicorn for low maintenance, better and widespread service network and easy availability of parts. Choose Apache for sheer performance and looks. Unicorn comes with a 'combi-brakes' variant which helps as both brakes area applied together, whether you apply one or both. Also, in this variant both are disc brakes. Apache 160 too has a dual-disc version. A pity they have limited the ABS to 180 version because that would have made a huge difference. In terms of pickup, speed and cornering, Apache is miles ahead of the Unicorn which is a commuter at heart, albeit one that can be used as a tourer over relatively shorter distances. Honda is always stellar in terms of quality and electrical, even the switchgear is great and doesn't look tacky. One thing that goes against TVS is those shitty TVS tyres. If you change those to MRF or Ceat or Bridgestone, that makes for a fantastic bike.
