TVS Apache RTR 160 4V Anniversary Edition: Detailed Explainer
The Anniversary Edition is the coolest looking colour variant of the Apache, based on the top-end variant
With its new limited Anniversary Edition of the Apache series, TVS commemorated the 20th anniversary of its renowned Apache brand. The Apache RTR 160 4V Anniversary Edition has an exclusive appeal and is a purely cosmetic modification over the top model. The bike is mechanically identical to the top spec variant. So, the buying decision is solely focused on exclusivity, style, and possibly bragging rights.
1. Price & Positioning
Here is how the full range stacks up (all prices ex-showroom, Delhi, at the time of writing):
-
RM Disc (Black Edition) — Rs 1,19,890
-
Single Channel ABS — Rs 1,26,890
-
Dual Channel ABS with USD forks — Rs 1,32,740
-
Dual Channel ABS, USD forks and a TFT display — Rs 1,39,440
-
Limited Anniversary Edition — Rs 1,39,340
2. Design & Styling
The Anniversary Edition visually stands out from the rest of the variants with its unique livery. Its limited-edition status is indicated by a special 20-year anniversary logo on the tank. The model's new dual-tone black-and-gold alloys are the most striking visual feature.
Rounding off the styling are unique graphics and decals. This made the already pretty and sporty looking Apache RTR 160 4V a real thing of beauty, in our opinion.
3. Features
No new features come with the Anniversary Edition; its equipment list matches the top-spec USD with TFT variant. This includes a 5-inch full-colour TFT display with Bluetooth connectivity, turn-by-turn navigation, and riding stats. The bike has all LED lighting, and traction control and slipper clutch are included as well. Dual-channel ABS handles braking duties, while the RLP (Rear-wheel Lift-off Protection) feature keeps the bike planted in emergency braking moments. A USB charging port is also on board.
4. Engine & Performance
Under the special paint, the mechanicals of the bike remain the same: The 159.7cc single-cylinder, air-oil-cooled engine pairs with a 5-speed gearbox and slipper clutch. Up front, the golden USD forks enhance the premium appeal, whereas the rear gets a neat red coloured monoshock. Performance figures are unchanged throughout.

5. BikeDekho's Take
Since the mechanicals and features match the standard top-end model, the Anniversary Edition decision comes down to personal taste. The Anniversary Edition adds styling exclusivity and the novelty of a limited-run badge.
