Bajaj Pulsar P150 vs TVS Apache RTR 160 2V | Which is the Best Bike For Young Riders?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 лют 2025
- The Bajaj Pulsar 150 and TVS Apache RTR 160 have been battling it out for the hearts and minds of young riders since 2016. And that battle rages on today with the recently updated Apache RTR 160 2V and the all-new Pulsar P150. Both bikes offer a good blend of sportiness and everyday usability. But does the updated, but still rather long in the tooth Apache have what it takes to fight the P150, which is hands down the best Pulsar 150 till date?
Both these bikes take slightly different approaches to wooing the youth, with TVS delivering the more edgy and sharp motorcycle, while Bajaj has built this new Pulsar with a focus on everyday usability, but not completely sacrificing fun in the process. The Apache also brings to the fight a wider plethora of features such as an all LCD instrument console with Bluetooth connectivity as well as three riding modes which change power and torque output and throttle response to suit various riding conditions. The Pulsar on the other hand seems almost basic. But sometimes, going back to the basics is best, right?

Damn..that Apache 2V design looks gorgeous even now. It's been around since 2012 and aged like a fine wine. 😍
They called beast design, more like a joke.
@@SuperImbadude It still looks good for my eyes. Maybe a joke for you. Opinion differs.
Yeah it's aged very well compared to an NS for eg
The Apache looks really good compared to that discover looking p150
Case1: The design is very old and doesn't look attractive now.
Case2: The design is legendary and immortal. Still looks stunning even after decades.
That's how reviews can be twisting depending upon what they like to say.
Better, go for what pleases you.
I am 12 years Apache user the engine performance is still Young ❤❤❤
Vibration??
I am 16 years Old🥰
I Will still buy an apache for even no reason
mustaken
There is lot of reasons my bro ###
I have been an apache fan all my life because of their acceleration and handling and adrenaline pumping nature. But now at the age of 28 i am leaning towards the new pulsar due to its comfort, refinement and linear & wider torque delivery and its easy going Nature. Even after knowing that this decade old apache 2v could smoke the new pulsar p150 and more expensive N160 at any given time, I'll still go for Pulsar kyuki shayad me ab launde se uncle ho gya hu. 😂😂
Also pulsar has good breaks...!!
But being honest..I own the TVS RTR APACHE 160 2012 model..and it still works like a charm. No problems faced, no major issues.
Left it in the corner of my building for a year and started it thereafter and it works beautifully 🥰..ridden it on roads, no roads, off roads..And won't give out issues like the Bajaj and the after sales is good👌🏼
The parts are a little expensive than the Bajaj counterpart but they last longer.
The only thing that you would dislike is the vibrations all over the place at any given speed..🥲😐
Mileage only 45 😂
Vibration king hai apache
great if thats so ..my old Tvs Victor was thrash..
or it might be only the higher cc bikes where Tvs has improved
@@Sanket117 mileage of 45 is something good
@@armaangirdhar1175 sahi me bhai 🤣🤣🤣
I own Apache 160 2v.....to me it is the better bike.....the design stayed so long due to its success, also the engine is reliable unlike the competition. I will go for Apache anyday
I am a 16 year user of Apache 150🥰 ..I love that vibration🔥
So the Apache is faster in a straight line, faster in corners, overall more fun to ride, better quality, better reliability, gets more features and will get you better fuel efficiency as well if you use the riding modes. While the Pulsar looks better, is smoother and slower. Is this even a fair comparison?
Breaks are better in pulsar, it can save lifesand mileage
Yes it is bcoz Apache lack refinment most people dont do drag race or 0-100, its all about relax riding comfort. And easy handling and no vibration at all till 90km thats enough. Apache lacks all this and also Pulsar is All new model.. Apache is 10 year old.. ZIG Wheels have not done any mistake we can blindly pic the winner..
I've APACHE 180 since dec, 2015. Clocked around 75k and no major repairs or problems
I love my beast no rusting, no electronics problem, no swinging tail, no jumping jacks indicators, no poor handling, very soft and smooth ride not hard and stiff like pulsar handling and ride comfort is very very superior I've done 400 kms in a stretch. Apache is better than Pulsar. Pulsar's are cheap to buy and maintain but APACHE is a class above.
TVS should not give up on semi digital speedometer Bajaj redesign the meter but TVS just slapped rtr200's speedometer.
I don't know what but there is something intoxicating about Analogue tachometer
Fully digital is really boring only but hereafter TVS won't give analog-digital cluster ☹️☹️☹️
‘Definitely Male’ is long gone….
Now it's "Definitely FEMALE"
Mean while 1000cc bike guys to you "I am lool like gay"😂😂
@@ananddarnal6702 So men riding scooters are feminine? Come on man
Because genderising literal machines is a minus IQ moment.
Wolf shaped headlight turned into dog shaped headlight 🤣🤣🤣
I don't race.
I need smooth vibe free ride, great suspension, great low rpm torque,
Relax seating posture, good gas mileage, relax engine on 70 80kmph.
So, i will pick P 150 anytime.
Pls go for N160 dual chanel ABS otherwise u may regret
@@shrikanthashetty06 N160 is also good. But i like commuter bikes than sporty...
Apache RTR becouse i am using RTR 180 from 8years to till date engine like new still same feel always no major repairs ntg to maintain any thing RTR🤗🔥😈😎
00:39 the best part of the comparison
Sorry Amit Shah...But Apache still looks Macho than lean Pulsar... 😎
apache . because it just works even after a decade of usage...
RTR rocks at any day🤟🤟
After listing to this Host, even though you cant speak flawlessness, you still can start a UA-cam Channel.
I am just awestruck by the fantastic headlight design of the Apache
Pulsar looks like a grownup Platina with those skinny tyres
Using a second gen Apache from 10 years ... Engine performance is top notch...
What do u mean by the Apache is analogue in a digital world? It's the one having bluetooth connectivity and riding modes, not the Pulsar.. And by engines, both are 2vs which is seen as an older tech now. Only the monoshock, headlight and gear indicator are the few advanced upgrades in the Pulsar.
If RTR 160 2v had a Kickstarter, it would have been a lot better than P150
But hereafter TVS won't give a Kickstarter ☹️☹️☹️
Kickstarter is such a good hardware
No1 said anything about the tyres & handling? Apache has wider & more gripper tyres than p150 & in handling pulsar can never beat apache!😎
5 years of using Apache 2v. Bike is good. The only part I hate is the vibration.
I am a 16 year user of Apache 150🥰 ..I love that vibration🔥
What about mailage compersion for both
they should have providede a bigger telescopic forks like FZ
Despite the counter balancer, pulsar p150 has vibrations. Warning It's not ultra refined. Go for it only if you don't feel any vibrations. Vibrations are there in footpegs tank and bar ends. Take care. Cheers.
Vibrations are normal only
Apache is far better from pulsar. When you ride side by side you know the difference
Nailed it again
💯💯💯💯
Please review the Hero Xpulse 200T 4V
Both our host and pulsar are on a diet💥
Hahaha… true dat man
This Apache is so much fun
King once always king that is RTR APACHE
Pd has gotten flatter just like pulsar 🔥
Engine doesn't make these bikes better Rider does.
Pulsar model they came and go, but apache models remains same
Pulsar - engine refinement, better instrument cluster and hardwares
Apache - design, features and city performance
Sir Aap log apna review Hindi languages me kijiye. Subscribers and views bahut hi teji se grow honge.
Apache always legend 🔥bajaj doesn't have guts to make a bike like Apache 🤣
Sir pulsar N150 full review video bando
P150 as there is no vibrations so means more refined engine. exhaust and projector headlight adds on more fresh look
Wrong zigwheels.... The apache is far superior to pulsar p series.... P series just seems like glamour and bajaj is copy cat now.... They copied ktm engine by the name of partnership tho ...now copying yamaha by mt lights on n series and fz25 lights on p series.....
1st disappointment review from zigwheels.
Bro thats how reviews work....they are paid to say good by brands and also hired by brands...
@@racingrider7286 right said bro... It made me doubt the review as soon as n series came... They were like instantly became fan of that n series which was neither powerful nor it has a design freshness....
Similar case some motorcycles become instant hit.
Best bike for young riders in every segment
TVS Raider 125
Apache RTR 160 4V or Yamaha MT-15
Pulsar RS 200
TVS Ronin 225 (looks average)
HUNTER 350/Classic 350/Meteor 350
CB 350 RS/ Highness
P.S. I am not a fan of Dukes. Jawa 42 2.1 is a good bike but lacks reliability and mileage, Jawa bobbers are impractical.
Apache 😍😍😍😍
Having a comparison between 150 cc and 160 cc bike is not fair. Here, No one is winner
what happened to your video quality
Maine abhi ye new apache li hai jo hmsha uper rahegi inn sbse aur usko drive karne ke baad pta laga ki apache ne apni market aise nahi bana rakhi hai...
I pick Apache bcoz after few time pulsar lost pickup and power its problem in Bajaj pulsar from long time
Th of the same as you know if there was an amazing 🤩😻😻 the same 😁😁😁
I can write it and give you RTR engine will be in same condition after 7to8 yrs also with ready to race mode... Every one knows about pulsar engine after 25k KLM will face power loss and lots of problems...
Sir n160 ke saath compare Karo apache 160 2v ko please 🙏
Bajaj should have launched with its N160 engine on discontinued pulsar twin disc bike like honda unicorn 160 bs6.
Now thats what comparo is with PD..🎉
Thanks dude… glad you liked it
Pulsar all-day everyday 💪
Thank God I got into the great escape with OG Pulsar 150 TD 🤣🤣🤣
Pulsar seems to have lost its charm, looks like just another bike on the road
Jo v ho, Aaj v Apache mast lagta hai ♥️
Ek baat hai Apache ka front bohot hi zyada heavy hai.
Some people still will pick G-Shocks over Apple watches ANYDAY
Bajaj Pulsar batter bike gear ratio toller side Highway rider batter
You should have tried it in hindi. Totla sound hora hai eng mein.
Apache RTR 👑
Only Apache old pulsar
Apache...that reckless animal headlamp. Punchout engine.. totally rocks 🙂👍...a man's bike👍
Fz v3 or p150
These days reviews are just based on who hires you and for which bike....
I mean clearly somehow a story made on without facts and set that P150 is better just because it has new design 🤷
But I buy always apache RTR 160 2v it was friendly in my pocket
Who needs a backache? I'd go for Pulsar anyday . No comparison between the city commuter and backache headache.
Waiting for Bangladesh official market
What a fake review!
We all know Apache ya way better
From "Definitely Male" to "tiktoker"
Can’t understand a word of what this chap says 😒
Also, what is Pul-saar?

Man you've lost a lot of weight, hope everything is fine health wise!
Hey… yeah dude. Have been working out and eating right for the past few months to get fitter
Mr PD has travelled 16 years in time I guess. He has lost so much weight and looks very much younger...
Hehehe… thanks man
Apache RTR 160!
Apache = performance 🔥
Bajaj Pulsar: Definitely non-binary
😁😁😁😁
Rtr❤❤❤
Pulsar ❤️
The narrators pronunciation,,, I couldn't understand, sometimes!!!! Is it only for me??
New pulsar p150 is not up to mark by its design.
Rtr engines are became quicker then old.... example is Rtr 4v.. u have to drive with ear phones n helmet... othetwise disgusting sounds from engine n silencer make u angry... n u may feel u r driving cheeper bike...where as pulsar became more refined then before... example twin disk pulsar 150.. which is unmatchable refinement compared to 2016pulsar.. this is my experience.. I brought rtr4v in 2018 instead of pulsar 180... now I feel sorry about my decision
forget enjoying the ride if youre riding on eurogrips lol
P150 needs improvements and tweaks...
Only thing is design, twin spark, fat forks and tyres
No bike in this price range would pull like apache does.
OG Pulsar is a wolf but P150 is a dog 🤣🤣🤣
डिस्कवर को मॉडिफाई कर के पोलियो मारा हुआ पल्सर कहा से बना के ले आया रे।
Apache 160 2v engine over hitting problem 🔥
Xtreme 160R should have included 😂😂
FZ V3 should have included
P150 and Apache 160 2v are commuters
The guy face expression looks likd Popeye😅
For me pulsar somehow doesn't feel the value for money product as it kind off looks like off and something less. Which Fatboy Apache is offering. Well in the end it's an individual's choice but it's difficult to choose.
Of course pulsar mania
