Features onboard
The streetfighter-style Pulsar NS160 has a heavy, forward-facing appearance and is designed to be aggressive and angular. Together with a semi-digital instrument cluster that shows the speed, rpm, fuel level, clock, odometer and trip metre, the vehicle also has halogen headlights with pilot lamps. The modified 2023 model now displays readouts for the distance to empty, current mileage, and gear position on the console, which is relatively updated. It does not, however, yet have smartphone navigation or connectivity. Comfort and a hint of athleticism are guaranteed with the split seats and elevated clip-on handlebar.
The 2022 TVS Apache RTR 160 4V has LED headlamps, tail lights, and indicators. Turn-by-turn navigation and a fully computerised, multifunctional instrument cluster with smartphone connectivity are standard on the top-tier CD and Special Edition variants. Another cool feature is the “Glide Through Traffic” (GTT) function, which is essentially a low-speed assist that helps the bike pass through traffic without requiring a strong clutch application, making it much easier to crawl through it.
