TVS Apache RTR 160 4V Highlights
TVS has introduced the Apache RTR 160 4V with ABS. Unlike its bigger siblings, the RTR 160 is equipped with a single-channel ABS which is limited to the fuel-injected variant. Expect TVS to introduce the same system in the carb variant soon.
The Apache RTR 160 4V is a major departure from the RTR 160 2V, both in terms of design and dynamics. The RTR 160 4V looks more in line with the RTR 200, complete with the sleek headlamp design, mass-forward muscular fuel tank and a sleeker tail section than the 2V variant. Design-wise, as expected, the motorcycle features minimal graphics, which look quite elegant. The large TVS logo on the fuel tank is complemented by the ‘Apache’ sticker on the side panel and ‘Hyper Edge’ sticker on the engine cowl. The racing stripe on the fuel tank ends with a TVS Racing sticker on the front fender. The tail section bears a striking resemblance to the RTR 200, with the LED tail light and double-barrel exhaust.
Powering this motorcycle is a 159.7cc single-cylinder air-cooled engine with oil cooler. Working along with a 5-speed transmission, it generates 16.8PS (Fuel Injected) at 8000rpm and 14.8Nm at 6500rpm. The carburetted model makes 0.3PS lesser. The powertrain is nestled inside a double cradle split synchro stiff frame, which is suspended on telescopic front forks and a Showa monoshock at the rear. TVS offers a 270mm petal disc up front and 200mm rear petal disc or 130mm rear drum. There are three variants in total. The carburetted version can be had either with a rear disc or drum option, while the fuel injected version is equipped with disc brakes at both ends.
Main rivals of the motorcycle include the Suzuki Gixxer, Honda CB Hornet 160R, Bajaj Pulsar NS 160 and Yamaha FZ-S FI.

TVS Apache RTR 160 4V Expert Review
Overview
The TVS Apache RTR 160 4V Fi now gets single-channel ABS priced at Rs 98,644 (ex-showroom Pune). The addition of this safety feature translates to a price hike of almost Rs 7,000 over the non-ABS variant. The Apache RTR 160 4V features a complete redesign along with an all-new motor. Its small headlamp, sculpted fuel tank, contoured single-piece seat, dual-tone side panels now give it a modern look similar to the larger Apache RTR 200 4V. The all-digital instrument console is borrowed from the RTR 200, with the fuel injected model having a more info-laden console than the carburetted version. Fuel tank capacity is 12 litres.
The 159.7cc, air and oil-cooled single-cylinder motor makes 16.5PS at 8000rpm and 14.8Nm of torque at 6500 rpm in conjunction with a 5-speed gearbox. The frame is a new split cradle unit. Suspension setup includes telescopic front forks and rear Showa monoshock, while braking is handled by disc brakes on both ends. There is also a base variant that gets a rear drum brake and a thinner 110-section rear tyre instead of the stock 120-section rear tyre. It is available in three colours: Racing Black, Racing Blue, and Racing Red.
The Apache RTR 160 is available in three variants: Carburetor single disc, Carburetor dual disc, and Fi dual disc. The base variant is priced at Rs 82,535 while the Carburetor Dual Disc and Fi Dual Disc variants are equipped with disc brakes at both ends and are priced at Rs 85,535 and Rs 91,535 (all prices ex-showroom Delhi) respectively. It competes against the Honda CB Hornet 160R, the Suzuki Gixxer, the Pulsar NS160, and the Yamaha FZ-S FI.
