With the introduction of the TVS Apache RTR 160 4V, the thrill quotient on the streets just went up with a motorcycle known to carry racetrack DNA in a value-for-money package. The new-generation TVS Apache RTR 160 4V has the most advanced technical features over the aggressive-look-styled ATV that are aimed at enthusiastic young gentlemen. RTR 160 4V goes on to consolidate its dominance in the 160cc performance motorcycle category with aggressive styling, segment-best features, and track-inspired engineering.
Head-Turning Aggressive Styling
Extremely fierce and aerodynamic design angle is created for Apache RTR 160 4V simply focused on performance. The twin-pod LED headlights with signature DRLs create another intimidating profile from the front, and the muscular fuel tank extensions and split kind seat make it really sporty from all perspectives. New graphics and colour options take centre stage with the eye-grabbing Matte Blue and Racing Red. The exposed rear subframe with an underbelly exhaust adds additional race elements that will appeal to attention-seeking riders.
Peppy And Refined Engine Performance
The motor that powers this beast has a 159.7cc oil-cooled, 4-valve engine with the capacity of producing an awe-inspiring 17.6 PS of power and 14.8 Nm of torque, thus making this one of the most powerful engines in its class. TVS Race Tuned Fuel Injection (RT-Fi) technology provides instantaneous throttle response across the whole rev range. Shifting through the 5-speed gearbox is effortless; the exhaust notes race-tuned for some mouth-watering delivery. Be it meter-jetting through traffic or belting down the highways, adrenaline-charged performance is guaranteed with the RTR 160 4V.
Segment-Leading Features And Technology
The Apache RTR 160 4V is fitted with features whose presence is usually reserved for premium bikes. The fully-digital instrument cluster displays gear position indicator, lap timer, and service reminder. Within the braking system, dual-channel ABS makes sure of confident braking while Glide Through Traffic (GTT) makes stop-and-go tasks hassle-free. The split grab rails boast practicality beside their sporty demeanor. All-around LED lighting improves visibility and modern appeal.
Track-Inspired Handling Dynamics
Lightweight chassis with the suspension well-tuned for a superbly agile machine that dives from corner to corner without any hesitation. Adjustable telescopic forks in front and gas-charged mono-shock at the rear ensure sporty handling alongside a fair amount of comfort for the ride. With kerb weight pointing just about 147 kg and seat height at 800 mm, it is accommodating for a varied range of rider profiles. MRF Revz rubber is prime time here, owing to confidence in grip on anything from the concrete jungle to a raggedy mountain pass.
Pricing And Variants
Apache RTR 160 4V comes with an ex-showroom price ranging from ₹1.25-1.35 lakh, making it a far more value-for-money proposition compared with its competitors such as the Bajaj Pulsar NS160, but with more features. It comes in more variants, such as a base model and a more premium one with superior connectivity and features.
