  • Apache rtr 160 my riding experience

    6 years ago


    Sunit Pawan Kujur

    The bike tvs apache 160 is one of my Favourite choice because its gives you a beautiful sporty looks but similar it can be used for daily usage ride. Also its best of 160 cc category for its price and low maintenance bike.

    .

    And about the handle controlling its best but of long ride it can pain on your back.

    .

    And during a long ride you can ride up-to 500 km then your bike gets too heated that can dangerous to ride.

    .

    Apache 160 body is not built good of its plastic quality it get damage easily.

    .

    Also about the maintenance its parts get little higher than pulsar parts ..

    .

    Its best for its price but its start vibrating from speed 70 you can just feel when you ride.

    I bought this bike 1 month ago and this bike is amazing also it's performance and reliability is great. The riding experience is decent for long rides. If your height is under 5 feet 11 inches you can go with this. I didn't know about the service because my first service was not completed. The overall bike is good you can go with this.

    Ashokkumar Eswaramoorthy

    I am a highway engineer using the bike for at least 150km per day. I ride my Apache RTR 160 from 2017. I crossed 125,000 km on this bike. Friendly engine for rough and tough usage. Sporty riding style makes a more attractive look for the riders. I learned stunts with this bike. Pick up is like 'ANGRY TIGER'. Its shape resembles the TVS emblem.

    The TVS Apache RTR 160 4V is widely praised for its performance, design, and value for money. Key highlights include:
    1. Performance: The bike features a 160cc single-cylinder, air/oil-cooled engine that produces around 16.2-16.6 bhp and 14.8 Nm of torque. It offers smooth and powerful acceleration, reaching 60 km/h in under five seconds and a top speed of around 114-116 km/h. Both carburettor and EFI variants provide a good balance between power and efficiency.
    2. Handling and Comfort: The suspension system, tuned by Showa, ensures stability and comfort both in daily commutes and during spirited riding. The bike has a telescopic fork at the front and a monoshock at the rear, providing a comfortable ride even on rough surfaces.
    3. Features: The Apache RTR 160 4V comes with advanced features like Glide Through Technology (GTT) for smooth low-speed handling, three riding modes, and SmartConnect for smartphone connectivity. It also includes a fully digital instrument cluster that provides a wealth of information and dual-channel ABS for enhanced braking performance.
    4. Design and Build Quality: The bike boasts a sporty and aggressive design with excellent build quality. It has a comfortable single-piece seat and offers good ergonomics for both the rider and the pillion. The overall fit and finish are top-notch, with quality materials used throughout.
    5. User Reviews,: Owners have reported high satisfaction with the bike's visual appeal, reliability, and performance. Some have noted minor issues with service and availability of spare parts, but overall, the feedback is positive, emphasizing its sporty look, comfort, and value for money.

    The bike is good on first ride, then the condition gets worse. I am really impressed with the first ride.Pros:* good looking.* awesome sound.* standard mileage for 160cc bike.* good starting pickup.* good stability in wind.* tvs servicing cost is little bit cheap compared to other companies like honda, yamaha.....* suspension is soft compared to yamaha fz, pulsar 150, 180.* braking is good while front comes with abs.* tank is large but fuel cap is unreasonable.(check it if it closed or not by smelling it)* seating is comfortable Cons:* first is vibration, you feel your hands and legs vibrating when you reach 80-100.* if you missed any service the bike will trouble you.* front forks are not good it will easily bent if you ride in bad road condition.* you will feel the pain in your wrist and neck if you are a long rider.* chain easily gets loosen periodical maintenance is required.* rear braking is not good.* the colour of the head position gets faded.That's all.Advise:Maintain your bike regularly.Keep the chain clean and lubricated.(avoid chain spray)Lubricate the gear and brake lever every week. Don't let others ride your bike.Gears are short not like other bikes. Frequent shifting is needed like ktm duke and rc Thanks ...

  • Good bike

    7 years ago


    Vipin Sharma

    1.Buying experience

    I was searching for good bike under 1 lakh and after searching on internet i decided to buy apache rtr 160. Buying experience was good, i bought it on 26th nov 2016 for 87000 rs.

    2.Riding experience

    Riding experience is good, pick up is very good according to rtr(rapid throttle response). Tyres are bit slippery in rain.

    3. The new version looks very good with hyper edge. I have seen people saying that they are getting 40 and 50kmpl mileage. To be honest it never gave me more than 40kmpl. In city i am getting mileage of 30-33 kmpl and on highway 35-40kmpl.

    The top speed that i got is 123km/h.

    4.Servicing and maintenance

    The service cost is 400-600 rs. It will cost more than 600 if there is any damage in part or you asked them to put a new one.

    Maintenance is good. Chain oil is needed after 500km riding. If you do not put the chain oil, it creates a sound.

    5-pros and cons.

    Pros-good pick up, good top speed, good looks and heavy engine.

    Cons- mileage is not good. Slippery tyres

    It has been more than 3 years since I purchased this bike in August 2020. At 40-50 kmph speed riding experience is okay but beyond that, the engine noise creeps in which is an irritating and unpleasant experience at the cost of 1.30 lakhs. Overall it is a good bike for 50 kmph speed only with the least riding comfort.

    And about the handle controlling its best but of long ride it can pain on your back.

    .

    And during a long ride you can ride up-to 500 km then your bike gets too heated that can dangerous to ride.

    .

    Apache 160 body is not built good of its plastic quality it get damage easily.

    .

    Also about the maintenance its parts get little higher than pulsar parts ..

    .

    Its best for its price but its start vibrating from speed 70 you can just feel when you ride.

    I bought this bike 1 month ago and this bike is amazing also it's performance and reliability is great. The riding experience is decent for long rides. If your height is under 5 feet 11 inches you can go with this. I didn't know about the service because my first service was not completed. The overall bike is good you can go with this.

    I am a highway engineer using the bike for at least 150km per day. I ride my Apache RTR 160 from 2017. I crossed 125,000 km on this bike. Friendly engine for rough and tough usage. Sporty riding style makes a more attractive look for the riders. I learned stunts with this bike. Pick up is like 'ANGRY TIGER'. Its shape resembles the TVS emblem.

    The bike is good on first ride, then the condition gets worse. I am really impressed with the first ride.Pros:* good looking.* awesome sound.* standard mileage for 160cc bike.* good starting pickup.* good stability in wind.* tvs servicing cost is little bit cheap compared to other companies like honda, yamaha.....* suspension is soft compared to yamaha fz, pulsar 150, 180.* braking is good while front comes with abs.* tank is large but fuel cap is unreasonable.(check it if it closed or not by smelling it)* seating is comfortable Cons:* first is vibration, you feel your hands and legs vibrating when you reach 80-100.* if you missed any service the bike will trouble you.* front forks are not good it will easily bent if you ride in bad road condition.* you will feel the pain in your wrist and neck if you are a long rider.* chain easily gets loosen periodical maintenance is required.* rear braking is not good.* the colour of the head position gets faded.That's all.Advise:Maintain your bike regularly.Keep the chain clean and lubricated.(avoid chain spray)Lubricate the gear and brake lever every week. Don't let others ride your bike.Gears are short not like other bikes. Frequent shifting is needed like ktm duke and rc Thanks ...

    7 years ago


    Vipin Sharma

    1.Buying experience

    I was searching for good bike under 1 lakh and after searching on internet i decided to buy apache rtr 160. Buying experience was good, i bought it on 26th nov 2016 for 87000 rs.

    2.Riding experience

    Riding experience is good, pick up is very good according to rtr(rapid throttle response). Tyres are bit slippery in rain.

    3. The new version looks very good with hyper edge. I have seen people saying that they are getting 40 and 50kmpl mileage. To be honest it never gave me more than 40kmpl. In city i am getting mileage of 30-33 kmpl and on highway 35-40kmpl.

    The top speed that i got is 123km/h.

    4.Servicing and maintenance

    The service cost is 400-600 rs. It will cost more than 600 if there is any damage in part or you asked them to put a new one.

    Maintenance is good. Chain oil is needed after 500km riding. If you do not put the chain oil, it creates a sound.

    5-pros and cons.

    Pros-good pick up, good top speed, good looks and heavy engine.

    Cons- mileage is not good. Slippery tyres

    It has been more than 3 years since I purchased this bike in August 2020. At 40-50 kmph speed riding experience is okay but beyond that, the engine noise creeps in which is an irritating and unpleasant experience at the cost of 1.30 lakhs. Overall it is a good bike for 50 kmph speed only with the least riding comfort.
