In May 2024, TVS Motor unveiled a fresh iteration for one of its top sellers. The latest model of TVS Apache RTR 160 features an all-black colour scheme (Black Edition) for the 2V and 4V variants. The new Glossy Black shade in the new model of TVS Apache RTR 160 4V and TVS Apache RTR 160 2V offers a sense of aggression and stands out from the rest on the road while demonstrating the relentless pursuit of performance that runs in the RTR DNA.
Performance
The Apache 160 4V new model has the same 160cc, 4 valve, oil cooled engine that churns out 17.6PS @ 9250 rpm | 14.7 Nm @7250 rpm, mated to a 5-speed gearbox. The bike can reach a top speed of 114 km/h. These numbers combined with a refined and high revving engine and a kerb weight of just 146* kg result in a punchy and spirited performance.
Ride & Handling
In terms of ride and handling, this new model of TVS Apache RTR 160 2V/4V is a breeze to ride in urban conditions. The patented GTT (Glide Through Technology) allows for low speed crawling. With just a slow release of the clutch lever and no throttle operation, the system works in the first three gears to reach a maximum speed of 17km/h, that too in a jerk-free manner.
In variable conditions, stay unstoppable as your race machine’s ABS and engine prime themselves to deliver optimum performance with three ride modes.
• Urban Mode – Enables a quick burst of acceleration and optimizes ABS to deliver a sharp response when you need to manoeuvre through city streets.
• Rain Mode – It enables sharp ABS response with strong lever pulsation for confidence in the harshest conditions.
• Sport Mode – Lets you unleash the full potential of this race machine as the engine is primed to deliver sharp acceleration with aggressive mid and high-speed operation.
TVS Apache has been known for its comfortable riding posture as it gets slightly rear-set foot pegs. Despite its compact form factor, the rider sits in a natural upright posture and long distance travel is a delight on this machine. Also, the rear MIG suspension in this Apache 160 4V new model makes the bike adept in carving corners while offering an extremely planted ride quality.
