Style


the rtr 160 has been a decent looking motorcycle with proportionate design and styling. The latest iteration of the rtr had its tryst with aggressive styling but the results are disputed.


Engine performance, fuel economy and gearbox


the 160cc 15.4Bhp mill has been doing its duty on the rtr pretty well. The oversquare engine is free revving and revs cleanly upto the red-line of 9000rpm for the stock engine. Though there is no rev limiter, you can feel the power dip beyong 9500rpm. The power delivery is progressive through the rev range and the racing throttle response system helps the bike performm well in the mid range. One thing that dents the rtr experience are the engine vibrations that creep in near 5000rpm and are felt right up to the red line.


Ride quality & handling


the racing inspired two-piece handle bars are well positioned giving the rider an aggressive posture. The ergonomics of the motorcyle are track oriented and the power delivery of the bike does justice to it. The motorcycle design is bang on target giving the bike a proper balance and stability on straight line as well as around corners. In city traffic, in spite of the two-piece handle bar, the bike is very easy to maneouvre and the good mid-range reponse makes it a delight to ride. The vibrations peak between 5000rpm to 6000rpm, which is sadly the normal riding rev range inindia and hence long rides on this bike make your palms go numb. The seat is soft and more comfortable in comparison wit its competitors. The brakes are pretty much enough for the bike but the tvs tyres do not inspire comfidence.


Final words


the tvs rtr 160 is a small, puny and powerful bike which is a great package for on road as well as track riding. The engine is a gem in terms of power delivery and longevity. The fuel economy is good. If tvs can work around the nvh of teh engine, the motorcycle will be a true piece of art.

    Its an awesome bike. The comfort of this bike is very good and TVS Apache RTR 160 4V has a soft suspension and the mileage easily get around 45 kmpl and the mileage is good but dual channel ABS is missing. It is a powerful bike and is literally a great bike and everything feels good with good fit and finishing.

    It is good when you want to be friendly or rider bike it so smooth while driving on highway personal I drive 150 km without any stoppage. And it performs so well.
    But yes service on time every 2.5 or 3 months you service this bike from an authorised service centre.
    I bought this bike with the reference of my friend but now I am satisfied.

    I got my apache rtr 160 cc bike in mar-2012 by paying 72k rupees(yes there was a time). The meter now reads 39, 168 km covered. It has been with me for the past 6 years and is still in very good condition. Previously i had bajaj discover. Please read my experience and views about the bike: Visual appeal:It has decent looks. Back it 2012 it was one of the most sought bikes along with Bajaj Pulsar. I opted for apache because of its proven tracker record. But nowadays there are better-looking bikes are available in the market. Having said that, it doesn’t look that bad too:-) Mileage: usually don’t keep too much tracker of the mileage. But i have observed that it varies from 40 to 45 km/ltr. Not great but not bad too considering it is a 160cc bike. If you are too concerned for the mileage better go for 125 cc bikes. Comfort: Comfort-wise it might not be the best bike. Its neither high on comfort nor the worst either. In the short trips you find it quite ok but you would feel the difference once you drive it for a longer distance. Performance:It is a beast with a powerful battery. Pick-up is nice and breaks are pretty good. The only cons is it vibrates once you increase the speed over 70km/hr. Maintenance: There are bikes like yamaha fz or Bajaj Pulsar which are high-maintenance bikes. As compared to them, TVS Apache’s maintenance won’t cost you too much. Well that’s it from my me i wish you have a wonderful and safe ride! one last word…a request…please wear a helmet for your safety!

    The riding quality of tvs rtr160 4v is great but not phenomenal. The comfort of a seat and seating position is also great Details about looks and performance3. The looks of this bike is very eye-catching and the public response for this bike is also great. The performance of bike could be better Experience (Performance, Mileage, Comfort): Many riders praise the Apache RTR 160 4V's peppy performance, excellent fuel efficiency, and comfortable riding position for the rider. However, some users find the pillion seat a bit firm for extended journeysThe TVS Apache RTR 160 is powered by a 159.7 cc air-cooled engine that produces 16.04 PS @ 8750 rpm of power. It has a fuel tank of 12 L and a claimed mileage of 47 kmpl. The TVS Apache RTR 160 starts at Rs 1.19 and goes up to Rs 1.26 Lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi).The first service after 500 km, second service after 2500 km, third service after 5000 km, fourth service after 8500 km and fifth service after 11500 km is free of costPros:-*best pickup*attractive look*superb handling*good comfort. Cons:-*no abs(according to safety purposes)*can't do cornering on roads because of tyres(little bit risky for the rider, he/she will lose confidence while doing cornering. Maintenance cost is high as compared to other 160cc segment bikes.

    It is good when you want to be friendly or rider bike it so smooth while driving on highway personal I drive 150 km without any stoppage. And it performs so well.
    But yes service on time every 2.5 or 3 months you service this bike from an authorised service centre.
    I bought this bike with the reference of my friend but now I am satisfied.

    I got my apache rtr 160 cc bike in mar-2012 by paying 72k rupees(yes there was a time). The meter now reads 39, 168 km covered. It has been with me for the past 6 years and is still in very good condition. Previously i had bajaj discover. Please read my experience and views about the bike: Visual appeal:It has decent looks. Back it 2012 it was one of the most sought bikes along with Bajaj Pulsar. I opted for apache because of its proven tracker record. But nowadays there are better-looking bikes are available in the market. Having said that, it doesn’t look that bad too:-) Mileage: usually don’t keep too much tracker of the mileage. But i have observed that it varies from 40 to 45 km/ltr. Not great but not bad too considering it is a 160cc bike. If you are too concerned for the mileage better go for 125 cc bikes. Comfort: Comfort-wise it might not be the best bike. Its neither high on comfort nor the worst either. In the short trips you find it quite ok but you would feel the difference once you drive it for a longer distance. Performance:It is a beast with a powerful battery. Pick-up is nice and breaks are pretty good. The only cons is it vibrates once you increase the speed over 70km/hr. Maintenance: There are bikes like yamaha fz or Bajaj Pulsar which are high-maintenance bikes. As compared to them, TVS Apache’s maintenance won’t cost you too much. Well that’s it from my me i wish you have a wonderful and safe ride! one last word…a request…please wear a helmet for your safety!

    The riding quality of tvs rtr160 4v is great but not phenomenal. The comfort of a seat and seating position is also great Details about looks and performance3. The looks of this bike is very eye-catching and the public response for this bike is also great. The performance of bike could be better Experience (Performance, Mileage, Comfort): Many riders praise the Apache RTR 160 4V's peppy performance, excellent fuel efficiency, and comfortable riding position for the rider. However, some users find the pillion seat a bit firm for extended journeysThe TVS Apache RTR 160 is powered by a 159.7 cc air-cooled engine that produces 16.04 PS @ 8750 rpm of power. It has a fuel tank of 12 L and a claimed mileage of 47 kmpl. The TVS Apache RTR 160 starts at Rs 1.19 and goes up to Rs 1.26 Lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi).The first service after 500 km, second service after 2500 km, third service after 5000 km, fourth service after 8500 km and fifth service after 11500 km is free of costPros:-*best pickup*attractive look*superb handling*good comfort. Cons:-*no abs(according to safety purposes)*can't do cornering on roads because of tyres(little bit risky for the rider, he/she will lose confidence while doing cornering. Maintenance cost is high as compared to other 160cc segment bikes.

    Riding an Apache bike is often described as exhilarating. It offers a good balance of power, agility, and style. The handling is sharp, making it enjoyable on both city streets and twisty roads. The Apache series is known for its sporty performance and sleek design, making it a popular choice among riders looking for a dynamic riding experience.

    Its an awesome bike. The comfort of this bike is very good and TVS Apache RTR 160 4V has a soft suspension and the mileage easily get around 45 kmpl and the mileage is good but dual channel ABS is missing. It is a powerful bike and is literally a great bike and everything feels good with good fit and finishing.
