Apache RTR 200 comes with typical street bike design with sharp fuel tank cowls and considerably effective windscreen. Pulsar 220F, on the other hand, is aerodynamically better with bigger windscreen and side fairing. Technically, Pulsar 220F uses a 220cc engine producing 20.64 Bhp at 8500 rpm and 18.55 Nm at 7000 rpm. Apache RTR 200 uses a 197.75cc engine producing 20.23 Bhp at 8500 rpm and 18.1 Nm at 7000 rpm. Values are quite close to each other and thus, performance during acceleration test will remain similar. Apache RTR 200 is lighter but Pulsar 220F has a semi-faired design.

In terms of equipment, Pulsar 220F has aged a lot in comparison to Apache. The latter comes with slipper clutch, fully-digital instrument console, split cradle frame, KYB suspension, and petal disc brakes. Apache even comes with an optional 2-channel ABS and fuel injection equipped variant for a bigger price tag while Pulsar 220F comes in a single variant. The console on 220F is aged while the overall design and high-performance engine are only two points that justify its presence. TVS Apache RTR 200 4V is a better option when considering a motorcycle under INR 1.20 lakh (On-Road). But in case you are interested in buying a Bajaj motorcycle in this price range, then getting a Pulsar NS200 would be a better deal in comparison to the 220F.
