Trending Questions on TVS Bikes - Answered by Autocar Experts
I am 41 years old and started my motorcycle journey with a Pulsar, which I rode for 15 years before switching to a Dominar in 2019. Although the Dominar’s power was addictive, it was not as smooth as the Pulsar and had vibes and niggles. I sold it and bought a Meteor 350 in 2021. While I enjoyed the smoothness of the J-series engine, it now feels underpowered. My rides are mostly in the city but include long commutes of 60–70 km and occasional weekend rides. What should I be looking at?
Since you mentioned you have long commutes, and you want something fairly engaging to ride, we'll recommend a mix of ADVs and comfortable roadsters. The new TVS Apache RTX 300 makes a strong case for itself as a single bike to do everything. It is definitely something that should be near or at the top of your list.
You can even take a look at the KTM 390 Adventure models and Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 - both are quick, comfortable and have great long-distance capability.
If you want a more road-biased bike, then options you can look at are the Triumph Speed 400, Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450, TVS Apache RTR 310 and KTM 390 Duke. Depending on the balance between performance and looks you want to strike, they all have something unique to offer.
Take a proper test ride of all bikes you shortlist before making a decision.
Which family scooter or bike is best for both city and highway use for me? My height is 5′3″.
In the family scooter space, consider the TVS Jupiter 110 and 125, Honda Activa 110 and 125, as well as the Suzuki Access, which are our top picks in the category currently.
Since you haven't mentioned a price cap or displacement range for the motorcycle, we will provide options from both the 125cc and 160cc commuter classes. They will be easy-going, frugal, comfortable, and affordable machines to buy and own.
In the 125cc class, bikes like the Honda Shine 125 / SP125 / Honda CB125 Hornet, Hero Xtreme 125R / Super Splendor / Glamour and TVS Raider warrant strong consideration.
Coming to the 160cc class, bikes like the Bajaj Pulsar N160, TVS Apache RTR 160 4V, Honda Unicorn / SP160 and Yamaha FZ models are worth taking a look at.
Take a test ride of all before you make a decision.
What bike can I prefer at a ₹2 lakh price range? This will be my first bike, with daily usage of around 30-35 km and an occasional ride of about 200 km once a quarter.
Since this is your first bike, you should ask yourself what sort of rider you are and then pick the machine accordingly. If you feel you enjoy speed and want a sporty, engaging machine, then something like a KTM 160 / 200 Duke, Yamaha YZF R15 V4 / MT-15 and XSR155 will be good options to consider.
If you want to have a relaxed riding experience and want something stylish, then a Royal Enfield Hunter 350 or TVS Ronin would be a good starting point. Lastly, if you want a single 'standard' bike that can do most daily things, then something like a Honda CB300F would be a good option.
If you want something that prioritises fuel efficiency, a 160cc commuter from Honda, TVS, Bajaj, Hero or Yamaha would be the way to go.
Take thorough test rides of each machine you consider before making up your mind up.
I am 40 years old and enjoy travelling. I prefer riding a two-wheeler over driving a car, but I suffer from back pain. Please suggest a bike with the following priorities: best seating comfort, ability to do long rides of 300-500 km, and a refined engine with minimal vibrations at cruising speeds.
I am 50 years old and currently own a 2017 Yamaha FZ-S. I want to upgrade to a more comfortable motorcycle. I occasionally go on long rides and need a bike that offers good comfort without straining my back or shoulders. My height is 5’7”.
I commute around 30kms on a daily basis, of which around 10kms is broken concrete road and the rest is highway. I want to purchase a bike, but I am unable to choose between Yamaha XSR 155, Yamaha FZ-X and TVS Ronin. Could you please help me decide among these bikes and suggest other bikes in similar categories if necessary?
I am new to two-wheeler riding in the city and am also a short rider. I have only used a Honda Activa 125 so far. I am confused between buying a geared or a non-geared two-wheeler. I do not know how to ride a geared motorcycle yet, but I am willing to learn. This purchase will be for multipurpose use, including office commutes and short city rides. Please advise.
I own a 2022 TVS Raider as my first bike, and it has been a good learner motorcycle. I am now planning to upgrade and have shortlisted the TVS Apache RTR 310, Hero Xtreme 250R, and Yamaha XSR155. Please advise which is the best value-for-money option for long-term ownership with sportiness and minimal service issues.
I own and ride a KTM 390 Adventure 2023 and also a Royal Enfield Classic 500, but my work is around 22 kms one way and I am looking for a bike thats between the 2 bikes I already have, light weight like the KTM but easy to ride in the city traffic like the Classic 500 and with fuel efficiency around 50kms per litre at least. What would you suggest I go with, please guide.
I have a Honda Aviator since 2013. I want to upgrade to a maxi scooter, currently eyeing Yamaha Aerox S. However, I dont want that I buy the Aerox and Honda launches the Forza 350 or Adv 350. I can wait for a year. Is Honda 2 wheelers planning to launch a Maxi Scooter in 2026?
Currently, Honda has not announced any plans to launch a maxi-scooter in 2026 and given the niche market demand it would garner owing to their high price, this also seems like a remote possibility.
Coming to the Aerox, it is a great option if you want a fun scooter. However, it can feel cramped for taller riders, and its rear suspension is also very stiff. This will get near intolerable daily if you live in an area with bad roads.
Instead, take a look at the new TVS Ntorq 150, which combines peppy performance with comfort and practicality.
