Comparative difference between Bajaj Pulsar 150 TD and Apache RTR 160 Four V signal disc, which is the best?

Pulsar has been established as a successful model since it entered the Nepali market. Although brands like Yamaha, TVS, Honda, Suzuki and Hero are trying to meet the sales of Pulsar 150 in the market now, the demand and popularity of Pulsar series has been much higher than other companies. Although other companies have brought new models to compete with the Pulsar series at different times, the models brought by other companies have not been able to compete with it.

The 150 cc capacity motorcycle has a different identity in the Pulsar series. The company has been selling it in regular model classic and TD (disc brakes on both wheels) variants. A few days ago, TVS had started selling its popular motorcycle RTR 160 Four V single disc variant. Jagdamba Motors has started selling it at Rs 2,000 more than the Pulsar 150 TD. The double disc variant is priced at Rs 2,89,900 while the single disc variant of the RTR is priced at Rs 272,900. Which is about 17 thousand rupees cheaper. The price set by the company clearly aims to compete directly with the Pulsar 150 TD.

 

Pulsar 150 TD has been selling in large numbers in recent days. To establish itself in this, TVS has launched a single disc variant of RTR 4V. Differences can be found in the design, power and other aspects of these two motorcycles. In this way, it can be estimated that the most famous motorcycle of Bajaj will be worth hitting by the successful motorcycle of TVS.
