No more phone checks? These 5 bikes bring Google Maps to your handlebar

Navigation Shift

You no longer necessarily need to keep pulling out your phone to find your way on a motorcycle. Google Maps Mirroring is moving into more affordable bikes, putting turn-by-turn navigation on the motorcycle's own display and making a once-premium feature easier to access.

Budget Entry

The Bajaj Pulsar 125 brings Google Maps Mirroring into a relatively accessible price bracket. Its top-end split-seat variant is priced at ₹1.04 lakh ex-showroom and combines the navigation feature with a 124.58cc engine, front disc brake and three riding modes.

TFT Upgrade

The TVS Apache RTR 160 4V takes the feature a step further with a TFT display that supports Google Maps Mirroring. At ₹1.41 lakh ex-showroom, it pairs connected navigation with a 159.7cc engine, dual-channel ABS, traction control and a slipper clutch.

Pulsar Pioneer

The Pulsar N160 SS occupies an interesting spot in this lineup because it was Bajaj's first motorcycle to introduce Google Maps Mirroring through a 5-inch TFT screen. Priced at ₹1.43 lakh, it also packs ride-by-wire, traction control, riding modes and a slipper clutch.

Premium Routing

Google Maps Mirroring is not restricted to one type of motorcycle or buyer. From the affordable Pulsar 125 to the more powerful Apache RTR 200 4V, the feature is appearing across different price and performance levels, changing what riders can expect from their dashboards.

Power Stretch

At ₹1.50 lakh ex-showroom, the TVS Apache RTR 200 4V sits at the upper end of this five-bike list. Its 197.75cc engine produces around 21hp and 17.25Nm, while the motorcycle also gets preload-adjustable USD forks alongside its connected technology.
