I have an Apache 160 RTR. Apache Bikes have good features but very low on average only 36 Kmpl in city ride after 3rd service (TVS center). My Friend Umesh who is looking for new Apache, but I suggested him to opt for Pulsar or CBZ Xtreme(as I have already). We went to Hero motors and buy Cbz xtreme in cash payment. As its looks, dimensions are impressive and fairing looks too stunning so we Exchange Apache with Cbz (after 3 rd day of purchasing of Cbz). Now I am Xtreme rider. The main difference on both bikes are-
Apache have Huge roaring engine(160cc) silencer combo which produces solid Vroom. sound and feel like Beast is running on roads(some bikers come from opposite side gave a clear path to take you out first due to roaring sound from silencer of apache. I just simply raise the throttle of the Beast) Impressive na. But all of the incidents I pay more money per litre for this roaring sound on the road.
Now come on Cbz Extreme Good and stylish fairing with digital speed-dial(apache also have). Engine is come from honda mill, so it feels smooth, Refined, Vibration free for rider during long runs on roads(apache gives headache). Top speed of Cbz(109 kmphr) is near to Apache(113 Kmphr) with less stress feel and put on comfort riding zone on Cbz. Next important thing is Mileage Cbz gives near to 46 Kmpl city(My friend Umesh get 48 Kmpl city on Cbz- rider’s dependent) and after first and second service(Hero Center) it raises up-to total 5 kms that is 53 Kmpl in city. I recommend both bikes for consideration and this largely depends on your taste, Hero or Tvs.!
