Your pocket guide to all the variants with some rather long-drawn-out names
TVS stumped everyone with the launch of the 2022 Apache RTR 160 4V. The bike has received some significant updates in its latest avatar, and that should bump up the value-for-money quotient. It’s offered in as many as four variants.
All of them are powered by a 159.7cc single-cylinder air-cooled engine (with an oil cooler) that makes 17.55PS/14.73Nm in Sport mode and 15.64PS/14.14Nm in Urban/Rain mode. Yes, the Apache RTR 160 4V too gets riding modes as standard across all variants now. Moreover, there’s a new headlight design where the low/high beam can function simultaneously.
But what separates the four variants? Here’s the explanation
Front disc, rear drum
Priced at Rs 1,15,265 (ex-showroom Delhi), this is the most affordable variant of the 2022 TVS Apache RTR 160 4V. It gets a 270mm petal disc up front and a 130mm rear drum, while missing out on the rear disc, rear radial tyre, and the TVS SmartXConnect system. Its suspension setup remains the same.

Front and rear disc, with rear radial tyre
Stretch your budget by Rs 2,085, and you can get the bike with 270mm front and 200mm rear discs and a rear radial tyre. This retails for Rs 1,17,350 (ex-showroom Delhi). Apart from better stopping power (thanks to the dual-disc setup), the bike also benefits from the stronger sidewall of the radial tyre as compared to that of the conventional tyre in the base variant.
Front and rear disc with rear radial tyre, and smartphone connectivity
For Rs 2,700 more, you can opt for the 2022 TVS Apache RTR 160 4V with all that the second variant offers plus the TVS SmartXConnect. This retails for Rs 1,20,050 (ex-showroom Delhi). For that extra dough, you get Bluetooth-compatible turn-by-turn navigation.
Special Edition
Last but not least, for Rs 1,21,372 (ex-showroom Delhi), you get the Special Edition of the 2022 Apache RTR 160 4V. The bike is draped in matte black and gets red alloys, making for a perfect contrast to the overall stealthy look. Furthermore, the Special Edition model gets adjustable clutch/brake levers and a black-and-red seat cover with an embroidered ‘TVS’ logo.....

- Great Performance and Handling but City Mileage CoI 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 More3

- Apache RTR reviewAccording 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 More6 3
