Pulsar NS200 vs Apache RTR 200 4V

The new Pulsar NS200 directly rivals the TVS Apache RTR 200 4V in the Indian market. An Aaj Tak report states that the new NS200 costs about Rs 11,000 more than the older model. Meanwhile, the Apache RTR 200 4V starts at around Rs 1.48 lakh. This pricing will definitely heat up the competition between the two bikes.

Bajaj focused heavily on tech, safety, and ride quality rather than major design changes. However, buyers will have to shell out extra cash to enjoy these premium new features.
