        The bike is good. However, in terms of speed and quick pickup, it’s excellent for a 160cc bike.

        Nice bike, perfect for family, relatives, and friends. Truly the best bike you can take anywhere without any problem. Thanks to TVS and the RTR 160 4V—one of the most powerful and most widely used bikes.

        This is the best bike with excellent mileage and very easy to drive. Even in the rainy season, it runs smoothly. The brakes work really well, and the seat is more comfortable compared to others.
