Our verdict

Their ex-showroom prices are close enough to ignore, so specification decides it: the Bajaj Pulsar 125 leads on ground clearance and dealer and service reach.

Choose the Bajaj Pulsar 125 if
  • rough, unpaved or flood-prone roads are part of your daily route
  • you want servicing within reach of where you live

Choose the TVS Apache RTR 180 if
  • you want a dealer close enough to visit and negotiate at

Measured: 91 more showrooms in Nepal (301 vs 210).

Every figure in this verdict is computed from the table below — the same ex-showroom prices, variant specifications and Nepal service network the page publishes. Nothing here is an estimate, and where a figure is missing on one side the axis is left out rather than guessed.

What we have actually checked

Price movements we logged
3 recorded since August 2026

Each is a dated change we applied to a published ex-showroom price after checking it. A logged change may be a distributor's revision or our own correction coming into line with the official figure — the log says which way each one moved, and when, not why.

Trim prices distributor-verified
0 of 2

These trims are listed at their published ex-showroom price, but none has been checked against the distributor's own price list yet — so treat the figures as indicative and confirm at the showroom.

After-sales reach in Nepal
Bajaj: 210 showrooms, 190 service centres · TVS: 301 showrooms, 54 service centres

Counted from our own showroom and service-centre directories, not from a brochure — every outlet behind these numbers has a listing on this site with an address and a phone number.
