Variant Recommendation
The TVS Apache RTR 160 4V is available in 7 variants, ranging from Rs 1.24 lakh to Rs 1.40 lakh ex-showroom. The newly launched variant, Dual Channel ABS with USD, is the most expensive but elevates the riding experience completely, with a gold-finished 37 mm USD front suspension. However, we believe the most value-for-money variant of this bike is the BT Disc, where both wheels get disc brakes, and the front one also gets ABS support. Additionally, Bluetooth connectivity is also included, allowing the rider to enjoy the benefits of connected features on this bike. Lastly, its asking price is also justified.
Expert Verdict on Apache RTR 160 4V
The TVS Apache RTR 160 4V stands out as a top choice for premium commute buyers seeking a sleek and powerful naked sports bike. Its excellent build quality, sleek modern design, and advanced connected features make it a standout option. With a lightning-fast engine performance, this bike offers an impressive combination. Yet, its drawbacks include the lack of dual-channel ABS and slightly less comfort from the seat.

Pros & Cons of TVS Apache RTR 160 4V
Should I buy the Apache RTR 160 4V?
The TVS Apache RTR 160 4V is the updated version of the old RTR 160 bike. It is more sporty and aggressive to sit & ride. Also, TVS has tuned its engine for fast performance which is majorly liked by young buyers. TVS also offers it in multiple variants at a range of pricing. The RTR 160 4V is the top choice for a fast 160cc bike. It offers advanced features like riding modes and Bluetooth connectivity. Competitors like the Bajaj Pulsar N160 offer similar excitement at a lower price. The special edition of this motorcycle costs more.
- The styling, outlook, & design aesthetics of the Apache RTR 160 4V are very good. It looks beautiful from each angle and the road presence is also better than its rivals. The beautiful color options and graphics give it a proportionate and handsome design.
- TVS has been known for using the best quality fitment on its products. The Apache RTR 160 4V is no different case either. The plastic used on the bike is of rich quality and there are no panel gaps or inconsistent quality issues anywhere on the bike. The fit and finish of the bike is the best in the segment.
- In terms of comfort, rivals like Hero Xtreme 160R 4V offer more. It is because the Apache doesn’t get an option of split seats. Also, the single seat is not very cushioning. Additionally, the front set handlebar with rear set footpegs for the rider make it a sport bike to ride. Therefore, long-distance riding becomes tiring on it.
Apache RTR 160 4V body specifications:
| Seat Height | 800 mm |
| Weight | 146 kg |
| Wheel Size | 17 inch |
| Fuel Tank Capacity | 12 liters |
- Apache’s engine offers a fast and smooth experience. It has no vibrations and it feels torque-rich throughout its rev range. Additionally, the Glide Through Technology (GTT) ensures that the rider doesn’t fatigue inside the city traffic. The initial pickup of the engine is very good and there is no lag in terms of power. Also, it gets different riding modes that alter the performance as per requirement. The engine performance of Apache is fast & refined.
- TVS offers petal disc brakes on both ends of the Apache RTR 160 4V. The braking power of it is very strong and confidence-inspiring. We love the initial bite from these brakes. Also, the effort required to stop the bike is minimal; especially at high speeds.
- This FI engine of Apache is also decently fuel-economical. In our tests, the bike returned an average fuel economy of more than 47 kmpl in mixed riding conditions. This means that out on the highway, it can easily cross the 50 kmpl mark. The users on our website also report good mileage of this engine.
- The Apache RTR 160 4V has telescopic forks in the front. It also has an adjustable monoshock in the rear. This setup offers a top-notch suspension system.. The ride quality of Apache is neutral. It is neither too stiff nor too soft. The suspension is tuned to enhance confidence on the tarmac. This retains the bike's sporty character. On bad roads, the bike occasionally feels bumpy and stiffer.
- Handling of the Apache is also tuned to give a sporty riding feel. It is agile enough to potter through the city but not very light like the rival Honda SP 160. But, if you go fast around the corners, it is a rewarding bike to ride. The tuning of Apache RTR 160 4V is to provide a thrilling riding experience.
- TVS loaded the RTR 160 4V with features such as SuperMoto ABS and a digital instrument screen. The bike has riding modes, adjustable levers, Bluetooth, LED headlights, and taillights. All of these features make it a modern bike and better than some of its rivals.
- The Apache is equipped with petal disc brakes at both ends for rider safety. It also features a single-channel SuperMoto ABS. However, the Bajaj Pulsar N160 offers dual-channel ABS at a lower price.

TVSApache RTR 160 4V₹ 1.25 - ₹ 1.40 LakhRead MoreThe recently launched Hero Xtreme 160R 4V is also a good option for the RTR 160 4V. The new Xtreme gets a sporty design along with comfortable split seats, a refined engine, & loads of features. However, the top-end performance of the Xtreme is not as fast as the Apache. On the other hand, the Apache offers a beautiful-looking design along with a better road presence. Out of the two, we recommend buying the Apache RTR 160 4V due to its better build quality & top-end performance.
