I have been riding this bike for the last two months and I have experienced that this bike is giving me constant performance like a beast in the road. This bike pickup is very nice, acceleration is nice, and mileage is also very good. This is a low-maintenance vehicle that gives you the best performance. I would suggest you this bike because it is worth it.

It was a good buying experience indeed
I have ridden this bike twice from pune to kolhapur and back and i was impressed by the performance. Well it looked ferocious in dark because of its ignition lights and the racing bar handles are just great . If you maintain your bike i am sure you will not face any problem because tvs apache is a good machine a machine with a pure heart

Gaurav
Buying experience : it was good, i purchased it for 83k in 2015.
Riding experience : i would say it is good, not the best. I've been facing handling issues for like a year now. And no one in the service center is able to resolve the problem. Have taken it there for like half a dozen times now. But now that I've adopted the problem,its good :)
Looks : the best
Performance : pickup is good, top speed i achieved is 111km/hr. Mileage i have been getting is "38kmpl". Handling is poor. The handles vibrates a lot. Sound is awesome. It literally roars!
Servicing and maintenance : yes i get it serviced every once in a while with an interval of 3 months.
Pros : 1) looks 2) sound 3) quality of the parts
Cons : 1) handling 2) mileage 3) vibrations 4) less comfort

Apache 160 a beast and all-rounder machine
7 years ago
Suryanarayan Dash
I have drove my apache rtr 160 for 40000km, still using it. If i have to describe it in single word, i would say its a work-horse. I am now 20 years old, a student by profession. I have been using this bike since 2013 have found it to be extremely reliable, no matter what if there is fuel in the tank bike will start in a single starter. Very fuel efficient, with its default tyres it gave me an mileage of +55 in city drive all the time.
Pros:
Breaking - it is wonderful, unlike pulsar the bike stops and doesn't make you fall on the road even during panic breaking(i drive a rear disk version). You will feel the difference when you drive a non rear disk bike after driving a this bike.
Looks- its looks good, some people like its looks some done. I love it looks.
Very low maintenance and very durable parts- damn good at this, a service with oil change costs me 800inr on an avg(i get it service it in every 4 months), the parts are very durable including the body parts they are strong as an ox. I had few minor accidents so its a well tested statement. It has a 16ltr fuel tank.
Cons:
If you can live with its cons, you can certainly live with its pros.
Default tvs tyres skid on wet roads like hell(non abs version), it almost like riding a banana peal during monsoons., especially when you apply only rear disk break. Solution - change the tyres to a better grip one(whistle mileage will drop because of this)
Single over head cam(sohc) - how it impacts you? well for starters it performs very differently when you ride without pillion rider and when you ride with one. No body is gonna tell you this truth before you buy it. The bike gets out of breath and you have to bring it on very low gears when trying to pull up a pillion rider to a slight road slant. Drive a dohc vehicle uphill with a pillion rider and you will know the difference very easily.
Open chain- well the chain gets dried up very quickly during the windy season. You can feel the roughness during the drive.
Hard shock absorbers- shock absorbers but very hard you can feel every stone, pothole on the road. Yahama and honda shockers are way better in this case(yes i had those bikes too).
Gearing ratio- ever thought how do they deliver such an excellent mileage with a 160cc engine? the answer lies in the gearing ratio. How does it impact you? you will have to change gears very frequently on traffic roads.
Engine and gear shift smoothness- lets accept the facts here the engine is not as smooth as honda and gearbox is not as smooth as bajaj. In-fact if you don't warm-up the engine before the start the ride in the morning, you can feel the roughness during the gearshifts, damn easily.
Final verdict- all in all if you want a bike which looks very powerful(but really its not) and delivers a decent millage without any high maintenance costs, this is the one for you.
If you need a very smooth bike in terms of engine, suspension and gear shift, you are way off track buddy.:)
P.S.- i don't mind producing the bike photos, document scans. Service records of my bike to prove that every word i said above is absolutely true and a first hand experience.

Apache 160 a beast and all-rounder machine
7 years ago
Suryanarayan Dash
I have drove my apache rtr 160 for 40000km, still using it. If i have to describe it in single word, i would say its a work-horse. I am now 20 years old, a student by profession. I have been using this bike since 2013 have found it to be extremely reliable, no matter what if there is fuel in the tank bike will start in a single starter. Very fuel efficient, with its default tyres it gave me an mileage of +55 in city drive all the time.
Pros:
Breaking - it is wonderful, unlike pulsar the bike stops and doesn't make you fall on the road even during panic breaking(i drive a rear disk version). You will feel the difference when you drive a non rear disk bike after driving a this bike.
Looks- its looks good, some people like its looks some done. I love it looks.
Very low maintenance and very durable parts- damn good at this, a service with oil change costs me 800inr on an avg(i get it service it in every 4 months), the parts are very durable including the body parts they are strong as an ox. I had few minor accidents so its a well tested statement. It has a 16ltr fuel tank.
Cons:
If you can live with its cons, you can certainly live with its pros.
Default tvs tyres skid on wet roads like hell(non abs version), it almost like riding a banana peal during monsoons., especially when you apply only rear disk break. Solution - change the tyres to a better grip one(whistle mileage will drop because of this)
Single over head cam(sohc) - how it impacts you? well for starters it performs very differently when you ride without pillion rider and when you ride with one. No body is gonna tell you this truth before you buy it. The bike gets out of breath and you have to bring it on very low gears when trying to pull up a pillion rider to a slight road slant. Drive a dohc vehicle uphill with a pillion rider and you will know the difference very easily.
Open chain- well the chain gets dried up very quickly during the windy season. You can feel the roughness during the drive.
Hard shock absorbers- shock absorbers but very hard you can feel every stone, pothole on the road. Yahama and honda shockers are way better in this case(yes i had those bikes too).
Gearing ratio- ever thought how do they deliver such an excellent mileage with a 160cc engine? the answer lies in the gearing ratio. How does it impact you? you will have to change gears very frequently on traffic roads.
Engine and gear shift smoothness- lets accept the facts here the engine is not as smooth as honda and gearbox is not as smooth as bajaj. In-fact if you don't warm-up the engine before the start the ride in the morning, you can feel the roughness during the gearshifts, damn easily.
Final verdict- all in all if you want a bike which looks very powerful(but really its not) and delivers a decent millage without any high maintenance costs, this is the one for you.
If you need a very smooth bike in terms of engine, suspension and gear shift, you are way off track buddy.:)
P.S.- i don't mind producing the bike photos, document scans. Service records of my bike to prove that every word i said above is absolutely true and a first hand experience.

I have been riding this bike for the last two months and I have experienced that this bike is giving me constant performance like a beast in the road. This bike pickup is very nice, acceleration is nice, and mileage is also very good. This is a low-maintenance vehicle that gives you the best performance. I would suggest you this bike because it is worth it.

Pradeep Daingade
It was a good buying experience indeed
I have ridden this bike twice from pune to kolhapur and back and i was impressed by the performance. Well it looked ferocious in dark because of its ignition lights and the racing bar handles are just great . If you maintain your bike i am sure you will not face any problem because tvs apache is a good machine a machine with a pure heart

Was my dream bike once but when i used it.. Meh
7 years ago
Gaurav
Buying experience : it was good, i purchased it for 83k in 2015.
Riding experience : i would say it is good, not the best. I've been facing handling issues for like a year now. And no one in the service center is able to resolve the problem. Have taken it there for like half a dozen times now. But now that I've adopted the problem,its good :)
Looks : the best
Performance : pickup is good, top speed i achieved is 111km/hr. Mileage i have been getting is "38kmpl". Handling is poor. The handles vibrates a lot. Sound is awesome. It literally roars!
Servicing and maintenance : yes i get it serviced every once in a while with an interval of 3 months.
Pros : 1) looks 2) sound 3) quality of the parts
Cons : 1) handling 2) mileage 3) vibrations 4) less comfort
