Apart from these updates, TVS says the 2021 iteration has got a new dual-tone seat with a carbon-fibre pattern. However, going by the press images, the seat looks pretty much the same as before. The rest of the mechanicals, including the telescopic front fork, rear monoshock, 270mm front petal disc, and the 130mm drum/ 200mm petal disc, have all been untouched.
The 2021 TVS Apache RTR 160 4V is now the most powerful 160cc streetfighter, dethroning the Bajaj Pulsar NS160 BS6. Among its alternatives are the Yamaha FZ-S FI, Hero Xtreme 160R, and Suzuki Gixxer.

That said, a more powerful and lighter bike at such a nominal premium is still impressive. The motorcycle is also the most feature-packed in its segment. TVS offers the RTR 160 4V in three colours: Racing Red, Knight Black, and Metallic Blue.
