TVS Apache RTR 160 Summary

The TVS Apache RTR 160 2V rivals the Hero Xtreme 160R 2V in the highly competitive 160cc segment.

 

How much does the TVS Apache RTR 160 cost?

The TVS Apache RTR 160 is priced from Rs 1,20,420 to Rs 1,28,720 (ex-showroom). The base variant is equipped with a rear drum brake, while the top variant has an exclusive matte black paint scheme with special graphics, rear disc brake, and Bluetooth connectivity. 

 

How many variants does the TVS Apache RTR 160 have?

The TVS Apache RTR 160 is available in five variants. The base variant is equipped with a rear drum brake and misses out on Bluetooth connectivity. It can also be opted with an all-black paint scheme. The disc brake variant can be had with or without Bluetooth connectivity. The top-of-the-line variant gets a rear disc brake, Bluetooth connectivity, red wheels, and an exclusive matte black paint scheme with carbon fibre-like graphics. Here’s a variant-wise price breakdown of the TVS Apache RTR 160:

Which is the best colour for the TVS Apache RTR 160?

The TVS Apache RTR 160 2V has five basic colours: T Grey, Matte Blue, Racing Red, Pearl White, & Glossy Black. These can be had in any of the variants. There’s also a Gloss Black paint scheme with red accents that can be opted on the rear drum brake-equipped variant. The Matte Black paint scheme with red alloys is exclusive only to the top variant. 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. 

 

How is the performance of the TVS Apache RTR 160?

The TVS Apache RTR 160 2V is powered by a 159.7cc air-cooled two-valve single-cylinder engine. The bike has 3 riding modes, Sport, Urban, and Rain, that alter the power outputs. In the Sport mode, it makes 16.04PS and 12.7Nm, while in the Urban and Rain modes, it makes 13.32PS and 12.7Nm. The engine is mated to a five-speed gearbox. In our real-world test, the Apache accelerated from 0 to 100kmph in 15.73 seconds. That makes it one of the quickest bikes in its segment. 

 

What is the mileage of the TVS Apache RTR 160?

In our mileage tests, the TVS Apache RTR 160 2V returned a mileage of 45.06kmpl in the city and 46.99kmpl on the highway. While that’s slightly lower than what the other bikes in the segment offer, the RTR 160 2V offers slightly better performance than most of them. 

 

Is the TVS Apache RTR 160 a comfortable bike?

The TVS Apache RTR 160 2V has a long, single-piece seat. The rider’s foot pegs are rear-set, which will have your feet positioned under your thighs. It has low positioned clip-on handles that require the rider to lean forward, which leads to an aggressive riding posture. That said, it’s easy to ride this Apache calmly which can help reduce fatigue. The seat offers decent space for the rider and pillion, and is not uncomfortable either in the city or on the highway. That said, taller riders might struggle with the rearset footpegs, as it might put their legs in a slightly cramped position.

 

What features does the TVS Apache RTR 160 have?

The TVS Apache RTR 160 2V is one of the most feature-rich bikes in its segment. Bluetooth connectivity is optional and adds features like call and SMS alerts, turn-by-turn navigation, and crash alert. Though, even without connectivity, the digital instrument cluster has one the best layouts in the segment. This Apache even has TVS’ Glide Through Technology (GTT), which allows you to crawl in traffic without modulating the clutch or the throttle. The three riding modes help in different riding scenarios, making the bike that much easier to ride. 

 

Should you buy the TVS Apache RTR 160?

The Apache RTR 160 2V is one of the oldest bikes from TVS. That said, TVS has always kept it up-to-date with the addition of modern features and new colours. It’s also quite well equipped in terms of features, and offers good performance as well. It’s a sporty commuter that will make your commutes more fun, and can be taken out for some enthusiastic weekend riding. 

 

What are the rivals to the TVS Apache RTR 160?

The TVS Apache RTR 160’s biggest rival is the Bajaj Pulsar N150. However, the Bajaj Pulsar N160, Hero Xtreme 160R, Yamaha FZ-S FI V3, and the Honda SP160 are great alternatives as well.

TVS Apache RTR 160 Pros and Cons

Things We Like

  • Good value for money in terms of pricing and performance
  • Extensive list of features for its price point
  • Great handling characteristics

  • Though the design in itself is sporty enough, it feels dated at this point of time.

Apache 160 Expert Review

BikeDekho Experts
“While the improved Apache RTR 160 2V has some great features, its biggest drawback is the odd pricing. It's very close to that of the Apache RTR 160 4V, which is undeniably a more modern and superior bike.”

Overview

The TVS Apache RTR 160 was introduced as a rival to the Bajaj Pulsar 150. Over the years, the Apache RTR 160 range has received consistent updates to stay fresh in the 150-160cc sporty commuter segment. The latest version of the TVS Apache RTR 160 debuted with a range of modern-day features and received mild tweaks to its engine in its last update.

Design

The design of the Apache RTR 160 has been the same for almost a decade. The TVS Apache RTR 160 has a simpler-looking design in comparison to the more premium and expensive Apache RTR 160 4V. However, it now looks fresher than before with the new all-LED headlamp, new LED DRLs, and new LED inserts in the tail lamp.

With the angular cowl at the front and extensions on the muscular fuel tank, the Apache RTR 160 is still one of the sportiest-looking motorcycles in the 150-160cc category. The bike's fuel tank and rear panels have stylish graphics. However, some might find the design slightly old-fashioned despite the minor updates.

Engine, Mileage & Performance

The TVS Apache RTR 160 retains the air-cooled single-cylinder 159.7cc engine paired with a 5-speed gearbox. 

TVS Apache RTR 160 Performance

This engine recently received a few updates, including three riding modes: Sport, Urban, and Rain. Each riding mode offers different power outputs, with the Sport mode delivering a maximum power output of 16.04PS @ 8750rpm and a maximum torque of 13.85Nm @ 7000rpm. The Rain and Urban modes offer slightly lower performance numbers: 13.32PS @ 8000 rpm and 12.7Nm @ 6500 rpm torque. 

However, these modes provide smoother rides at lower speeds. The Apache RTR 160 2V excels in quick acceleration in a straight line but could offer smoother performance at higher speeds.

You can expect about 45.06kmpl of mileage in city conditions and up to approximately 46.99kmpl on highways. In Sport mode, the claimed top speed is 107 kmph, which reduces to 97 kmph in Urban and Rain modes. 

Handling & Ride Quality

The TVS Apache RTR 160's firm suspension setup, comprising a telescopic fork in the front and twin shock absorbers at the rear, contributes to its good handling. This motorcycle weaves through city traffic comfortably, remaining sure-footed on both straights and corners. 

TVS Apache RTR 160 2V Handling

The Apache RTR 160 2V has a 270mm disc brake at the front and a 130mm drum brake at the rear for precise braking. You can also opt for a more premium version with a 200mm disc brake for the rear wheel. However, it's worth noting that the brakes may initially feel like they lack bite, requiring you to apply more pressure to the lever to get the bike to a halt.

All variants of the Apache RTR 160 2V have 17-inch wheels with a 90-section tubeless tyre in the front wheel. In the rear, both drum and disc variants come with a 110-section tubeless tyre, while the top-end disc version with Bluetooth gets a wider 120-section tubeless tyre. 

The motorcycle weighs 137 kg for the drum version and 139kg for the disc version. With a seat height of 790mm, it's comfortable enough for shorter riders. The generous 180mm ground clearance is well-suited for Indian road conditions.

Comfort

The TVS Apache RTR 160 gets clip-on handlebars and rear-set footpegs. It will cater well to those seeking a slightly aggressive riding stance. Taller riders might find the upright upper body position accommodating, but the positioning of the footpegs could lead to cramped riding posture over long distances.

TVS Apache RTR 160 Review Comfort

Features

The TVS Apache RTR 160 now has a fully digital LCD instrument cluster. It provides turn-by-turn navigation, vital telemetry data, call/SMS alerts, crash alerts, low fuel warnings, and a petrol pump locator.

TVS Apache RTR 160 Instrument Console

The motorcycle also features segment-first riding modes and a unique feature called 'Glide Through Technology'. This feature allows low-speed movement using only the clutch. A single-channel Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) ensures safety.

Both the drum and base disc versions come equipped with a fully digital instrument cluster without smartphone connectivity. The disc version with Bluetooth includes all the smartphone features. However, the riding modes are available on all versions.

Should you buy

Over time, the TVS Apache RTR 160 had become quite outdated compared to newer 150-160cc commuters. However, with the latest update, the Apache RTR 160 has additional features that bridge the gap to its sportier counterpart, the Apache RTR 160 4V. 

TVS Apache RTR 160 Review Verdict

If you're seeking a sporty commuter bike with many features to enhance your daily rides, the Apache RTR 160 is a great option.
