The humble 160cc bike now even gets voice assistance!
If you thought the modified TVS bikes were the highlight of MotoSoul 2023, well you’re wrong! And that’s because TVS has just launched the dual channel ABS variant of the lovely Apache RTR 160 4V. Given that its direct rival, the Bajaj Pulsar N160 has dual channel ABS (which is also one of its biggest talking points), the Apache is now hence better equipped to take on the Pulsar.
What dual channel ABS has done is helped reduce the bike’s weight by 2kg. Alongside that, the RTR 160 4V now also gets voice assistance, a first in the 160cc segment. Other things remain unchanged and for all these updates, TVS has pegged the dual channel ABS variant’s price at Rs 1,34,990 (ex-showroom Tamil Nadu). That means it gets a very small premium over the Special Edition. For perspective, here’s how much each variant costs:
|
Model |
Ex-showroom Tamil Nadu Price |
|
Drum |
Rs 1,23,870 |
|
Disc |
Rs 1,27,370 |
|
Bluetooth Disc |
Rs 1,30,670 |
|
Special Edition |
Rs 1,32,170 |
|
Dual Channel ABS |
Rs 1,34,990 |
All in all, a premium of Rs 2,820 over the special edition for something as crucial as dual channel ABS and a handy feature like voice assistance sounds very reasonable. Rivals for the RTR 160 4V include the Bajaj Pulsar N160, Suzuki Gixxer, Yamaha FZS-FI V4 and the Hero Xtreme 160R.
