The 2016 TVS Apache RTR has been spotted testing again in India, which is expected to be powered by a bigger 200cc motor. Although, the test mule was fully covered, ‘TVS’ logo on the engine crankcase cover revealed that it is coming from the den of Chennai based manufacturer.
Apart from that, the front telescopic forks and the petal disc brake design of the test bike are identical to the existing Apache RTR 180. Also, if you look at the extended fuel tank and alloy wheels of the bike, they seem to have taken inspiration from concept Draken X-21 of the company, showcased in Auto Expo 2014.
Talking about the cosmetic updates, you can see a flattered bikini fairing with the headlamp and a bigger engine bottom cowl on the test mule. It also has a flamboyant exhaust muffler, which is looking much unique than the other motorcycles in the respective segment. There will be much more changes in the styling of the next-gen Apache, however, its overall size seems to be unchanged.
The 2016 TVS Apache RTR will be an all new motorcycle with upgraded technology as well as equipment. Along with all the cosmetic updates, it will also get features like rear mono-shock, wider tyres, boosted performance and much more. The bike could also get a fuel injection system for an enhanced response as well as better fuel economy.
We can expect to see the new Apache RTR at the upcoming Auto Expo in February 2016 and the launch could happen in the same year.

I chose the TVS Apache RTR 160 4V TFT USD model mainly for its sporty design, features and strong road presence. The bike feels very stable on highways and comfortable for daily city rides. Handling is sharp and confidence inspiring. It is also good for family usage when riding normally. Overall the build quality, braking and features like TFT display make the bike feel premium in this segment. Ride quality so far has been very good. The Apache RTR 160 4V TFT USD has excellent handling and stability. In highways the bike feels planted and smooth even at higher speeds. Braking performance and suspension are also good for most road conditions. But the biggest downside for me is the city mileage. In city I am getting around 28 to 32 kmpl, which is lower than expected for a 160cc bike. If someone wants good performance, sporty design, great handling and modern features, the Apache RTR 160 4V TFT USD is a very good choice. However mileage is the only reason I hesitate to recommend it to everyone. Competitors like Pulsar N160 give better mileage in city conditions. So if mileage is your main priority you may consider other options, but apart from that the bike is really enjoyable to ride.Read More

According to online review it's the best bike in the segment. I reviewed other bikes in the segment and everybody has their pros and cons but this is the overall best friend and it has been running on the roads were years that's why. Very punchy and comfortable. It's very manuvareble in traffic and the blood through technology is very helpful in the driving also when it comes to I wait as a very good performance. Mileage is pretty good. Yes to anyone in this segment. Even even has an interesting 160 CC segment this is the best way to go for according to me as it as too much features for the price range and it is very much good for this age group.Read More
