TVS began its BS6 innings with the Apache RTR 160 4V and Apache RTR 200 4V in November 2019. Alongside their BS6 updates, the bikes also received some small new bits to justify the extra moolah that you would end up shelling out for the BS6 bike. Now, almost six months later, TVS has silently increased the prices of both motorcycles. The new prices of both Apaches are as follows:

TVS kitted these two BS6 Apaches with a LED headlight, new graphics and GTT (Glide Through Traffic) technology. Just prior to the launch of the BS6 model, TVS also gave its SmartXonnect Bluetooth technology to the Apache RTR 200 4V. It is present on the BS6 variant as well, measuring lean angles, G-forces and other ride related data.
Engine outputs of both motorcycles have taken a slight hit. The RTR 160 4V puts out 16.02PS and 14.12Nm (0.78PS and 0.68Nm less) while the motor on the RTR 200 4V produces the same 20.5PS of peak power but the 16.8Nm of peak torque is 1.3Nm lower. We took a short spin on both motorcycles at the TVS test track in Hosur and are glad to report that the drop in performance isn’t noticeable.
