I am Mostafizur Rahman, professionally I am an employee. Currently I am using a popular bike called TVS Apache RTR 4V SmartXconnect. I mainly purchased this motorcycle considering its stylish look, engine power and TVS brand, on the other hand, budget was also a big issue. So all in all, I prefer the TVS Apache RTR 4V bike. Since buying the bike, I have ridden about 1000 km so far. From my point of view a lot of good and bad things about this bike have come to the fore. I think you will benefit if I share those with you and serve the right idea about this bike. Below are the good and bad aspects of my bike.
Good sides:
-The first good thing I will say is its design. I think its design is very premium. I have noticed the perfect design in the head to toe from the front headlamp to the rear tail lamp and the color combination is also very beautiful.
-Engine power is great and so is acceleration. I am able to increase the speed of this bike a lot at the moment and the 4 valve engine gives a lot more torque and power to the engine.
-Although the braking system is single disc but its braking seems to be better than before.
-I get much better control as well as braking. Many people know that there was a fear of control in the minds of many people with the previous Apache RTR and by overcoming that, TVS has greatly improved the control of their 4V bikes.
-The meter panel is very beautiful and I get all the information I need from the meter. Meanwhile, as a result of SmartXconnect, I am able to enjoy several benefits.
Negative sides:
-When I cross speed of 60 to 70 kilometers per hour, I feel a vibration from its foot holder which makes me a little restrained to ride. If there was no vibration, it would have felt much better to speed up the bike.
-I feel a little irritation due to seat height as because my height is of 5 feet 6 inches.
From this bike I get mileage 38 km per liter in the city and 40 km per liter on the highway. Mileage is not as bad as 160cc 4V engine. In one day I rode 120 km continuously in which case I did not feel any back pain and I did not have any problem with the engine. All in all I like the bike a lot.
