While the Apache RTR 160 2V looks good in almost every colour, the red colour makes it look striking, as well as doesn’t cost extra. That said, the matte colourways have their own charm but need more care to keep them scratch and dust free.

The three riding modes help in different riding scenarios, making the bike that much easier to ride.
