Taking shock well

I am planning to buy a new bike, and have shortlisted the CB Dazzler and the CBZ Xtreme in the 150 cc segment, and the Honda CB Twister and TVS Jive in 110 cc segment. Can you please suggest which one of these has good shock absorbers and gives good mileage?

From the bikes and parameters selected by you, the Honda Dazzler is your winner in the 150 cc segment, while the Honda Twister is best for the segment below that.

I am planning to buy a bike that costs up to ₹70,000. However, I am
confused between the Pulsar 180, Apache 180 and 160 FI and Hunk. My main priorities are low maintenance and performance. The FZ won't suit my requirements as I am tall and bulky. What apart from it would you suggest?

We would advise you to go for the TVS RTR 180, if we are to strictly to go by the shortlist that you have provided us.

However, make it a point to note that we rate the Yamaha FZ-16 to be the best overall bike in this segment among all the others you've mentioned, and feel it is just as accommodative of a tall and bulky rider as these other bikes.
