TVS Apache RTR 160 Price:

After the price hike in April, the TVS Apache RTR 160 2V starts from Rs 1,03,365 for the rear drum brake-equipped version and Rs 1,06,365 for the model with a rear disc (both ex-showroom Delhi). The two variants are Rs 1,295 more expensive than earlier.

TVS Apache RTR 160 Features:

The TVS Apache RTR 160 2V is equipped with fuel injection, helping it comply with the stringent BS6 emission norms. Additionally, the motorcycle also features Glide Through Technology, a low-speed assist that ensures the bike crawls with just the clutch modulation and no throttle. This should be a boon in traffic-ridden roads. The motorcycle gets a semi-digital instrument cluster, halogen headlamp, LED DRLs and an LED tail lamp. To keep the costs in check, the bike features single-channel ABS instead of a dual-channel unit. For sporty yet comfortable ergonomics, TVS has equipped it with a pair of raised clip-on handlebars and a single-piece contoured seat.

TVS Apache RTR 160 Engine:

The Apache RTR 160 is powered by a 159.7cc single-cylinder air-cooled, fuel-injected engine. It generates 15.53PS at 8400rpm and 13.9Nm at 7000rpm, which is 0.42PS and 0.87Nm more than the BS4 model. The engine is mated to the same 5-speed gearbox as before. TVS says the aerodynamically designed tank cowl also helps in reducing the engine heat by a massive 10 degree Celsius.

TVS Apache RTR 160 Suspension & Brakes:

The Apache RTR 160 2V is built on a double cradle “Synchrostiff” frame linked to a telescopic front fork and twin 5-step preload-adjustable rear gas-charged shock absorbers. A 270mm front petal disc, a rear 130mm drum or 230mm petal disc bring the bike to a halt. TVS offers single-channel ABS as standard for both variants.

TVS Apache RTR 160 Rivals:

The Apache RTR 160 goes up against the Pulsar 150, Yamaha FZ V3, and Honda XBlade. That said, you can also go for the Bajaj Avenger Street 160 or the Aprilia SR160 in the same price bracket.
