Here are some details about the updated RTR 160 4V’s colour options

Just a few days back, TVS took everyone by surprise by updating the RTR 160 4V for the second time this year. With this update, in typical TVS fashion, the bikemaker threw in a few new bits including riding modes and a new colour option. Here, we’re focusing on the latter and explaining to you the colour options of the 2022 RTR 160 4V.

Racing Red
Red makes everything look faster and it’s the same case with the RTR 160 4V. Like always, TVS has used barely any graphics, but you do get a white panel in the center of the fuel tank and chequered flag stickers on the tank shrouds. Our only gripe here is the grey side panel, which looks rather conventional in an overall sporty package.

Metallic Blue
This colour is similar to the TVS Apache RTR 200 4V’s blue colour. Here, however, it is glossy instead of matte. Nevertheless, it looks quite premium and stands out, as we don’t usually see such colours on 160cc bikes. Here, too, you get a bold white panel on the tank and similar stickers to the red colour.

Knight Black
Don’t want anything tacky or sporty? Well, this is the colour for you. The knight black colour is the most conventional colour option you can opt for the RTR 160 4V. It gets glossy black bodywork, lending the bike a no-nonsense appeal.
Again, though, the grey side panel slightly spoils the vibe for us.

Special Edition
For 2022, TVS has introduced a top-of-the-line special edition of the RTR 160 4V. And it comes in a special matte black livery. The dominating colour may be matte black, but the swagger comes from the red tank panel and alloys, adding to the bike’s sporty demeanour. Even the seat cover gets red inserts with an embroidered ‘TVS’ logo. Finally, it gets black side panels instead of grey ones.
Aesthetics aside, this special edition also packs adjustable clutch and brake levers, and smartphone connectivity, similar to the top-shelf, rear disc-equipped variant. For more details, check out our variants explained story.
Our Pick
Between the four, we’d take home the Special Edition Apache RTR 160 4V. After all, it looks the most premium and sporty, while costing just Rs 1,300 more than the rear disc/Bluetooth-equipped variant of the bike.

- 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
