Top 5 Reasons To Buy The TVS Apache RTR 160 4V

The TVS Apache RTR 160 4V stands out as an absolutely aggressive looking sporty motorcycle in the 160cc segment. This beaut also has the brawns to match, and here are 5 reasons why you should get the TVS Apache RTR 160 4V:

It Is Powerful

The TVS Apache RTR 160 4V is the most powerful bike in the 160cc sporty urban motorcycle segment, with its 159.7cc, air and oil-cooled, single-cylinder engine producing 17.55PS and 14.73Nm. This is the highest among all of its rivals. 

The power and performance offered here makes the bike a really good choice for both city riding and highway runs. In the city, the  motor offers good bottom-end grunt, making it easy to ride through slow moving and stop-go traffic as well. 

Additionally, it also comes with Glide Through Technology, which is essentially a low-speed assist that ensures the motorcycle keeps moving without stalling at low speeds. On the highway, the bike can easily hold speeds of 80kmph without feeling stressed - impressive for a 160cc bike. 

Unmatched Control With USD Fork

Another major advantage the Apache RTR 160 4V has is an inverted fork setup at the front, offered in the top-of-the-line variant. They look very premium thanks to the gold finish, and makes the bike look and feel like a higher capacity model.

The biggest advantage that the inverted fork brings to the bike is better handling. The Apache RTR 160 4V, with this addition, will feel more stable while cornering, and the front-end feel will also be a bit more engaging when compared to a bike with a traditional telescopic fork. So if you’re a rider who loves cornering on mountain roads or a race track for that matter, the Apache RTR 160 4V won’t leave you disappointed. 

Segment First Ride Modes

We had mentioned earlier that the Apache RTR 160 4V is the most powerful bike in the 160cc segment. Though this might sound a bit intimidating to newer riders, there’s something which makes the power and performance a lot more manageable. 

It is the addition of riding modes, of which the Apache RTR 160 4V has 3 on offer: Rain, Urban and Sport. The riding modes modulate the level of power and ABS intervention, making the bike a lot more versatile and easy to handle on a wide range of riding conditions. 

In the Sport mode, the full 17.55PS and 14.73Nm is available, and this makes it perfect for some spirited, fun-filled riding experience. The Rain and Urban mode dials down the power, and restricts it to 15.64PS and 14.14Nm, making it a lot easier to manage while riding in the rain and city, respectively.

Safer Than Ever

For enhanced safety, TVS has added dual-channel ABS to the bike. This stops both the front and rear wheel from locking up during emergency braking situations, thus preventing a loss of control. The level of ABS intervention can easily be managed using the riding modes.

In the Sport mode, the level of ABS intervention has been toned down to a minimum, so when you’re riding in the twisties you can brake a bit harder. In the Urban mode, the level of ABS intervention is relatively balanced, and the ABS doesn’t end up interfering too early while braking. 

In the Rain mode, the level of ABS intervention is the highest, and this comes in quite handy when riding over slippery surfaces. Lastly, TVS has also added a Rear Lift Off Protection system, which is basically stoppie control. This prevents the bike’s rear wheel from lifting off the ground and the rider losing control of the motorcycle during hard braking.

Convenience Like Never Before

Convenience is another aspect where the Apache RTR 160 4V shines, and this is evident from the simplest of things to even the more complicated bits. Starting off with the simpler ones, the bike gets adjustable brake and clutch levers which makes it easier for riders to adjust the lever positioning according to the size of their hands. 

Another aspect which the Apache RTR 160 4V does right is the LED headlight with DRL. The illumination is quite good, but what really makes it special is how aggressive it looks, especially with the fang-like DRLs. 

Lastly, the bike has smartphone connectivity via TVS SmartXonnect technology. This brings a lot of features to the table including call/SMS alerts and turn-by-turn navigation. Along with these features, the SmartXonnect system also offers a lot of data including race telemetry, crash alerts, lean angle mode and a lot more. The best part? The bike also gets voice assist which allows riders to use the bike’s functions with voice commands. Who wouldn’t like a bike that literally listens to you!
