TVS has launched a new top-spec variant of the Apache RTR 160 4V. This model is priced at Rs 1.40 lakh (ex-showroom), making it the priciest option in the Apache 160 4V lineup. As such, here are the top things you need to know about the new top-spec variant of the TVS Apache RTR 160 4V motorcycle.

Comes With USD Fork

The inclusion of a USD fork aligns TVS with competitors like Hero and Bajaj, who already offer this feature in similar models. Moreover, the USD fork is gaining popularity among Indian buyers, prompting even budget-friendly bikes to adopt it. Despite this addition, the Apache RTR 160 4V remains largely unchanged.

Competitors

At Rs 1.40 lakh, this variant's price is on par with its main competitor, the Bajaj Pulsar N160. Meanwhile, Hero's Xtreme 160R 4V is slightly cheaper at Rs 1.39 lakh. Also, this new top-spec version is just Rs 520 more than the dual-channel ABS variant.

Powertrain Details

The TVS Apache RTR 160 4V retains its air/oil-cooled, 159.7cc single-cylinder engine, delivering 17.55hp and 14.73Nm of torque. Weighing in at 146 kg, it shares the same weight as other variants in its range. Additionally, it offers three riding modes: Sport, Urban, and Rain.

Features

The new TVS Apache RTR 160 4V also comes with TVS SmartXonnect TM technology with Bluetooth connectivity, enabling features such as turn-by-turn navigation, call and SMS alerts, and voice assist. Other features include Glide Through Technology (GTT), and adjustable brake and clutch levers.

Variants & Colours

The Apache RTR 160 4V's new variant stands out with its dual-channel ABS feature, available in only two variants within its lineup. The bike continues to be offered in three colour options (Granite Grey, Matte Black, and Pearl White) without any other significant changes to its design or functionality.

DriveSpark Thinks

TVS's decision to add a USD fork reflects a growing trend among manufacturers to enhance their offerings with features that appeal to modern consumers seeking both style and performance in their motorcycles.
