TVS Apache RTR 160 Race Edition Launched
The special edition Apache only features cosmetic updates and is slightly more expensive than the stock bike
TVS has quietly launched a special edition of the Apache RTR 160, christened the ‘Race Edition’. The special edition is based on the previous-gen RTR 160 and not the recently launched RTR 160 4V. Launched in two variants, the latest edition features only cosmetic updates with no changes in terms of performance. The base-spec variant is equipped with a front disc brake only and is priced at Rs 79,715, while the top-spec variant comes with dual disc brakes and costs Rs 82,044 (all prices ex-showroom Delhi), which is an increment of Rs 1,000 over the standard bike.
Speaking about the looks and design, the special edition RTR 160 gets a white paint job and features red stripes on the fuel tank, the front mudguard and the rear body panel near the grabrail. Also, the fuel tank gets a new 3D ‘running horse’ emblem just like the Apache RR 310.
Like the regular RTR 160, the Race Edition is also powered by the same 159.7cc, single-cylinder, 4-Stroke, OHC engine generating max power of 15.3PS @ 8500rpm and peak torque of 13Nm @ 6500rpm, mated to a 5-speed gearbox. Suspension setup is again unchanged with telescopic forks at the front and dual shock absorbers at the rear. Braking continues to be handled by a 270mm front disc and a 130mm rear drum in the base variant, while the top-spec variant comes equipped with a 220mm rear disc brake as standard.
The TVS Apache RTR 160 Race Edition will compete against the Suzuki Gixxer (Rs 77,015), the Bajaj Pulsar NS 160 (Rs 81,626) and the Honda X-Blade (Rs 78,500) (all prices ex-showroom Delhi).

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.Read More

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.Read More
