About the Reviewer
Ridden for (If Owned) | 5000-15000 km |
Got mileage of | 40 kmpl |
When buying the first bikes of life everybody gets confused. Wasn't an exception for me. I shortlisted bajaj pulsar as 150, yamaha fz 2.0 and this apache after a long research. Then i took test drives for each bike in the dealerships. However, i settled for this apache. Let me get this straight, the apache rtr 160 is a beast of a machine. If you want raw acceleration out of the box, this one was the first choice in that time (january 2015). As it runs shorter gear ratios along with a rev happy engine, compared to other bikes in this segment, a little twist of throttle is enough to overtake other vehicles with ease. Low end and mid range pull is superb. Due to shorter gear ratios, it sacrifices some of its top end grunt. The torque figures are also very good. With great power comes great petrol bill, but in this case it doesn't dig a hole in our pocket. The average mileage of this bike is 40kmpl with moderate use. In highway rides you can expect anything near 42-43 kmpl. And if you ride like hooligan stunt rider, it will return around 36-38kmpl.The maintenance cost is moderate too. After 5 free services, it costs around 300-400 rs per service (it can vary from place to place)I personally modified the electricals converting this to a full dc setup to run hid lights as the light output from the stock headlight is a little bit on the lower side. One small recommendation from me is to use some branded engine oil rather than using the tvs engine oils. I use motul 7100 10w40 from the second servicing and it works great. But honestly, this particular bike needed some refinements as there are vibrations kicking in after 7k rpms. The new bikes like 2nd gen pulsar ns160 pulls harder than this while the honda hornet and yamaha fz are smoother than this. Tvs fixed all this issues by launching the 4v version of this, but unfortunately it lost some of its raw characters with the upgrade. It was a great beginner bike in that time and still now the 4v does the same. I'm very happy that i choose this one. .
Tips for TVS Apache RTR 160
Use fully synth engine oils of any good brand rather than using TVS engineer oils.
Find out the list of available TVS Bikes.
The ARAI mileage of TVS Apache RTR 160 is 61 kmpl. The average of the Apache RTR 160 is 45 kmpl, as per the owners of the bike.
