TVS Apache RTR 160 Price in Baraipali

I have been using this bike for the last 15 years from 2009 to now the bike has been a great experience for me I purchased it amount of 67 K(on-road price) a few days before I re-registered it from RTO after 15 years. I am still getting 40 plus mileage in one litre and my bike engine is still not getting reopened now even though the clutch plate is original I am not joking its true, In 2017 my bike crossed 99999 km bar but still my bike running great on roads.

About the Reviewer

It was a very good experience with the dealer of TVS bikes Kishore TVS in Sambalpur city. Salesmen are also well-behaved and have a good knowledge of bikes. The bike has very low maintenance. The cons are that speed after 60 km, the bike gets throttled. One of the problems that the earlier generation Apaches and to an extent the RTR is the engine roughness. The performance was never a problem. With the addition of Fuel Injection that problem seems to have gone out of the window. The power delivery is very smooth and the throttle response is very crisp. The gearbox too is precise with positive shifts every time you tap the lever. The first gear is a bit weak and you don’t feel the true potential of the 150.7cc mill. Shifting while in the power band, I began to feel at home and was excited enough not to resist the urge to go faster and faster. That said if you shift the gear in lower r.p.m then you feel a tremendous loss in power and it takes quite a while to hit the power band again. So correct shifting is the key if you are riding the bike in day-to-day traffic. Personally, I don’t have any complaints about the character of the bike.

If you are die-hard crazy about apache then buy its 4v but my personal experience suggests going for the honda sp shine bs6. It is 125 cc but much better than apache 160 2v.
