It has been a long time since TVS did something new with TVS Apache. It came up with the launch of the ABS edition. This utility of the bike was not much highlighted as everyone wants to check out the friendliness of the bike with the race track. So this ABS edition was not much cherished by the people. Now the company has released TVS Apache RTR 180 Racing DNA edition in India, without fan fare.
 
The exterior of the bikes are very much similar with the FZ series. These DNA series accessories are compatible with all the TVS Apache RTR's after the air scoop edition. This new DNA edition is equipped with Projection Lamps, new Sprockets, Pirelli Sport Demon Tyres, Remote lockers, Handle bar grips with LED lams and LED bling-bling all over the bike.
 
The newly designed projection lamp gives a wonderful look to the bike. The new Xenon lamp on the front of the bike makes it look much more stylish. Bajaj also tried to have Xenon lamp on the Baja Pulsar 220s but were not able to because of some unforeseen reasons. The Pirelli sport demon 90 section tires give a impressive look to the bike and also seems to favour Indian roads. The silencer also provides a good look to the bike with the K&N air filters in it.
 
At all this we can say TVS had done a great job with this new TVS Apache RTR 180 DNA edition.
 
Noted that the ABS (Anti-lock Breaking System) feature in the bikes helps the biker to reduce the braking distance on both dry and slippery surfaces. This ABS feature in the bikes improves the vehicle control. The ABS feature in the bikes would be surely understood by the Indian bikers with time and would tell that weather they are willing to pay for it or not.

Urgent sell bike

Apache RTR 4v black is quite good bike as compared to other brand. This bike offer 17 bhp and 15 nm torque which is quite fast coming to looks. It looks like naked super bike with red black colour combination. It offer three riding mode with tft display and abs braking which is single only with better mileage in this segment.

Great Performance and Handling but City Mileage Co

I 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.

A Perfect Balance of Power and Style.

I chose the Apache RTR 160 Limited Edition for its sporty performance, sharp handling, unique limited-edition looks, good mileage, and reliable TVS build, making it perfect for daily use with a premium feel. Apache RTR 160 Limited Edition so far is smooth and fun it feels responsive with good pickup, confident in city traffic, and stable at higher speeds. The handling is sharp and the overall ride quality is comfortable for daily commuting as well as weekend rides. I would recommend the Apache rtr 160 Limited Edition if you are looking for a bike that fun to ride, reliable, good on mileage, and turns heads with its sporty looks. It is a great all round choice for both daily commuting and weekend rides.

Apache RTR review

According 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.
