    Some queries regarding the Apaches

    Hi all. My first post here.
    I'm a college student. I'm looking for a bike and I've almost decided on the RTR 160 Hyperedge. I'm going to use it mainly to go to college(city ride), and occasional highway rides like once in 2 or 3 months. But I have some queries regarding that.
    1. I came to know that the RTR 160 comes without tubeless tyres. Does this mean that the 160 is a lot more prone to punctures than RTR 180? (I don't want to replace the factory fitted tyres for at least a year.)
    2. Pretty noobish, While ordering can I ask them to fit the tubeless tyres ?
    3. My height is 5'11". Does that mean that I'm going to have a hard time riding it for more than an hour?
    4. Is vibration in Hyperedge or 180 any lesser than that of old 160?
    Thanks in advance

      1) A tubeless tire would retain air for a longer time rather than getting deflated immediately. You can keep filling in air and ride for several kilometers before affecting the tires.
      2) You can check with them whether they would fit tubeless tires, but not to worry, tube tires work just as fine. You should rather be bothered with the make. Ask if you can get an MRF instead of a TVS Srichakra.
      3) Me of the same height. Didn't find much trouble with the riding position.
      4) The 160 Hyper-edge does have vibes, but not too much a worrying factor. However, do take a test ride before deciding.
      But I think there is not too high a difference of price between the 160 and the 180. Why don't you check out the 180?

        I ran on stock tires for almost 3 years without a single puncture .The rear tire finally got punctured when it became bald and I replaced it.

        It helped that I never get off the road and take weird shortcuts/overtake on the left of the road where all the dirt/glass/nails are

          Punctures would actually depend how, where you ride, an xBhpian named Devilish is riding RTR refresh for almost 3 years , his tyres are "BALD" and we did whole spiti without any punctures.

          I ride 180 RTR, you can test ride both 160 and 180 and then decide
          Fare thee well xBhp, All the best for being the biggest name in corporate world
