Bajaj’s Pulsar series, potentially, has just one rival in the Indian market, the Apache RTR moniker from TVS Motor. Though TVS Apache RTR 180 and Pulsar 180 are the best bikes in their respective series, the 160 cc and 150 cc versions are sold more due to the low price and mileage. Let’s take a look at how these bikes fare when they are tipped against each other.
Talking about Apache RTR 160 first, this bike is really stylish and packs a punch when it comes to appearance due to its sharp edges. The beast-inspired headlamps are formed by LED light combined with new pilot headlamps. Other highlights of this bike include, roto petal disc brakes, muscled tank, sharp engine cowl and muscled tail cowl. The engine of Apache RTR 160 is powered by a 159.7 cc single cylinder that produces an output of 15.2 bhp and torque of 13.1 Nm.
Bajaj Pulsar 150, since its launch, has upstaged the 180 cc version in the market due to its combination of efficiency and performance. Wolf eyed headlamp with twin pilot lamps and naked street fighter look make this bike really top class in appearance. Other highlights of its appearance are clip-on handlebar; compete with pass switch and engine kill switch. This bike is powered by a 149 cc engine that produces an output of 14.06 bhp and torque of 12.5 Nm.
