    Style good.


    Engine performance, fuel economy and gearbox not smooth and smooth, it depends on speed, after 70 km/h its smooth and rocks on the road, only on the first day on/after service vehicle is smooth after it feels like you need service to your bike


    fuel economy is good, gear box is some time gives trouble, not smooth, you better wear shoes.


    Ride quality & handling do not give that much comfort, you may have a back ache, if you try for fuel economy then you will have balancing problem when you have one in your back seat, handling is good, becareful with brakes, they stuck, you need to be extremely careful with brakes


    i think its not for family, its for young... When you ride with back seat passinger you don't feel good balance.


    Final words its all my experience with my bike, this review not to favor any bike or to lower the image of apache, but what i mentioned are genuine pros/cons. Ok... Be careful with the brakes, i don't recommend it to family person, bike is also got good weight.

  • Re-launch old apache

    3 years ago


    Apache Lover S

    The old apache rtr refresh sporty yellows had attractive looks. The one which is coming now is completely lost the looks the old model had. Tvs should re-launch the old model in bs6 standards. Customers are interested towards old model only not the one with led drls. Tvs should launch the old model in bs6.And see which sells best. Superb build quality, performance ,mass engine sound. Pearl yellow old apache color was glittering.

    Shashwat Brahman

    Sorry for the title,but i had to do this because i want you to make the right decision before buying apache rtr160. So let's begin sequentially;1) looks:-. It has a good body design, and has great finishing work by the tvs company. The sporty look will surely grab others attention.2)performance:- pick up is awesome and the rest is what all the bikes have.3) drawbacks:-. Will be a bit comfortable for tall riders as its height is short. Breaking system is not upto the mark.Note:- the one thing that i love the most is its sound. The sound will give you heavy feel.So, altogether it's a good, value for money bike. But loses a point from the tall riders point of view.

    It was a good experience. 1. Buy the apache rtr 160....2. The riding the apache rtr 160 is awesome and also good enough to daily commute.....3. In looks, it feels like too good for its money.... 4. For every 4000km, the service is needed and maintenance is very easy and less cost....5. Overall good.

  • Surprising performance in this price segment

    3 years ago


    Shriharsha

    I am riding apache 160 2v bike from past 6 months. I researched a lot about various bikes and finally decided to purchase this bike at the price of 1,35,000 Rs at Bangalore. I got a surprise about the riding experience and afterwards started riding this bike because of its performance. I like the sudden pickup, anti vibration, speed, road grip, anti-lock braking system (ABS) etc. The bike has decent looks and attractive color (my bike is matte grey) and has a unique body design. This bike is available in various superb colors like pearl white, gloss red, matte red, gloss black, matte blue, matte grey. I have done 3 services as per kilometer basis. The service cost is very less compared to other bikes in this segment.. I am getting nearly 1-1.5k per service.
    Pros :
    1. Good mileage (45-50 km per liter),
    2. Road grip
    3. Braking system (ABS)
    4. Good suspension system
    Cons:
    1. Headlamp is not more bright, but good
    2. Lack of modern features like Bluetooth connectivity etc.

  • Better one

    7 years ago


    Thilak

    Totally apache was a good bike in 160cc segment and very affordable for common people riding quality is very good. Service which is providing to the customers is very impressive and very quick and responsive this is what people will expect from a brand. Service and maintenance was affordable for everyone and tires are very bad if tvs offers better tires then absolutely apache is a great bike

  • Best naked sport commuter

    Abhishek Singh

    I own a apache 160 bs3 we purchase apache 160 2v in 2016. The first impression of bike is fabulous. Mean, the initial pick up and build quality of apache is remarkable and exhaust note is quite impressive. But nothing is perfect in this world it's also apply on apache. The vibration is slightly high in comparison to it's rival. But everything will be ok if you love raw power with good exhaust note then the apache is made for you. But if you look a bike with better engine refinement. Then go for honda hornet or suzuki gixxer .But note the aftersales service of tvs is excellent .Mean we get get the spare parts at a resnable price with resnable labour charge. The reponse of tvs staff is also cooperative and last not least which i forget to mention is mileage the apache offer a decent mileage at city 35+ and at highway it give 42+ to be to be honest. If you look a bike with performance and reliability the go for apache 160 thank you for reading my review.

  • Overall a good urban bike.

    3 years ago


    Sourabh Sahu

    1. Overall buying experience was good, they were very friendly.
    2. Riding experience - let me tell you, this bike is not made for long tours like above 50 km's you might feel pain in the back.
    3. Looks and performance - if you take the black variant which I have people will just stare at till the time you are visible in their sight, performance wise this bike is a beast no doubt but you will also feel the vibrations above 70.4. Servicing and maintenance - you don't need to do anything else. it is just the oil change on time, and your bike will be maintained.5.
    pros - very catchy styled bike, engine is good, low maintenance bike. tubeless tyres.
    cons - vibrations above 70 speed.

    Sorry for the title,but i had to do this because i want you to make the right decision before buying apache rtr160. So let's begin sequentially;1) looks:-. It has a good body design, and has great finishing work by the tvs company. The sporty look will surely grab others attention.2)performance:- pick up is awesome and the rest is what all the bikes have.3) drawbacks:-. Will be a bit comfortable for tall riders as its height is short. Breaking system is not upto the mark.Note:- the one thing that i love the most is its sound. The sound will give you heavy feel.So, altogether it's a good, value for money bike. But loses a point from the tall riders point of view.

    It was a good experience. 1. Buy the apache rtr 160....2. The riding the apache rtr 160 is awesome and also good enough to daily commute.....3. In looks, it feels like too good for its money.... 4. For every 4000km, the service is needed and maintenance is very easy and less cost....5. Overall good.

  • Surprising performance in this price segment

    3 years ago


    Shriharsha

    I am riding apache 160 2v bike from past 6 months. I researched a lot about various bikes and finally decided to purchase this bike at the price of 1,35,000 Rs at Bangalore. I got a surprise about the riding experience and afterwards started riding this bike because of its performance. I like the sudden pickup, anti vibration, speed, road grip, anti-lock braking system (ABS) etc. The bike has decent looks and attractive color (my bike is matte grey) and has a unique body design. This bike is available in various superb colors like pearl white, gloss red, matte red, gloss black, matte blue, matte grey. I have done 3 services as per kilometer basis. The service cost is very less compared to other bikes in this segment.. I am getting nearly 1-1.5k per service.
    Pros :
    1. Good mileage (45-50 km per liter),
    2. Road grip
    3. Braking system (ABS)
    4. Good suspension system
    Cons:
    1. Headlamp is not more bright, but good
    2. Lack of modern features like Bluetooth connectivity etc.

    Totally apache was a good bike in 160cc segment and very affordable for common people riding quality is very good. Service which is providing to the customers is very impressive and very quick and responsive this is what people will expect from a brand. Service and maintenance was affordable for everyone and tires are very bad if tvs offers better tires then absolutely apache is a great bike

  • Best naked sport commuter

    Abhishek Singh

    I own a apache 160 bs3 we purchase apache 160 2v in 2016. The first impression of bike is fabulous. Mean, the initial pick up and build quality of apache is remarkable and exhaust note is quite impressive. But nothing is perfect in this world it's also apply on apache. The vibration is slightly high in comparison to it's rival. But everything will be ok if you love raw power with good exhaust note then the apache is made for you. But if you look a bike with better engine refinement. Then go for honda hornet or suzuki gixxer .But note the aftersales service of tvs is excellent .Mean we get get the spare parts at a resnable price with resnable labour charge. The reponse of tvs staff is also cooperative and last not least which i forget to mention is mileage the apache offer a decent mileage at city 35+ and at highway it give 42+ to be to be honest. If you look a bike with performance and reliability the go for apache 160 thank you for reading my review.

  • Overall a good urban bike.

    3 years ago


    Sourabh Sahu

    1. Overall buying experience was good, they were very friendly.
    2. Riding experience - let me tell you, this bike is not made for long tours like above 50 km's you might feel pain in the back.
    3. Looks and performance - if you take the black variant which I have people will just stare at till the time you are visible in their sight, performance wise this bike is a beast no doubt but you will also feel the vibrations above 70.4. Servicing and maintenance - you don't need to do anything else. it is just the oil change on time, and your bike will be maintained.5.
    pros - very catchy styled bike, engine is good, low maintenance bike. tubeless tyres.
    cons - vibrations above 70 speed.

  • It got pros and cons

    8 years ago


    Arjun

    Style good.


    Engine performance, fuel economy and gearbox not smooth and smooth, it depends on speed, after 70 km/h its smooth and rocks on the road, only on the first day on/after service vehicle is smooth after it feels like you need service to your bike


    fuel economy is good, gear box is some time gives trouble, not smooth, you better wear shoes.


    Ride quality & handling do not give that much comfort, you may have a back ache, if you try for fuel economy then you will have balancing problem when you have one in your back seat, handling is good, becareful with brakes, they stuck, you need to be extremely careful with brakes


    i think its not for family, its for young... When you ride with back seat passinger you don't feel good balance.


    Final words its all my experience with my bike, this review not to favor any bike or to lower the image of apache, but what i mentioned are genuine pros/cons. Ok... Be careful with the brakes, i don't recommend it to family person, bike is also got good weight.


    Areas of improvement tyres, brakes, vehicle balance, rider comfort, vibrations, service centers of tvs.

    Pros

    looks, price, pickup, mileage per liter

    cons

    slippery tyres, balance of vehicle, vibration, service centres

  • Re-launch old apache

    3 years ago


    Apache Lover S

    The old apache rtr refresh sporty yellows had attractive looks. The one which is coming now is completely lost the looks the old model had. Tvs should re-launch the old model in bs6 standards. Customers are interested towards old model only not the one with led drls. Tvs should launch the old model in bs6.And see which sells best. Superb build quality, performance ,mass engine sound. Pearl yellow old apache color was glittering.
