Hero Xtreme 160R vs TVS Apache RTR 160 - Top-End Performance Test

Hero MotoCorp has done a fantastic job with the Xtreme 160R. We were quite impressed with this motorcycle when we reviewed it last year. It has got the looks, features, and performance to give a good fight to its rivals. Speaking of, the Hero Xtreme 160R faces direct competition from the TVS Apache RTR 160, one of the well-established models in the segment. So, which one of these two motorcycles has a better top-end performance? The video below tries to answer this question.

The video shows a top-end performance test between the Hero Xtreme 160R and TVS Apache RTR 160. Two long drag races are conducted. In the first attempt, the Apache gets off the mark quickly and takes the lead. It continues to increase the gap and within a few seconds reaches a top speed of 124km/h and leaves the Xtreme behind, which could achieve 118km/h. For the second run, the riders switch motorcycles. Again, the RTR 160 takes charge. Although the Xtreme 160R tries hard, he couldn’t just keep up with the TVS.

On paper, the Apache RTR 160 is slightly more powerful than the Xtreme 160R. The former has 15.52PS of max power and 13.9Nm of peak torque whereas the latter has 15PS and 14Nm. Following is the spec sheet of both bikes.
