TVS Apache RTR 160 4V Detailed Review

  • Apache RTR 160 4V Looks and Design 8 /10

    The new TVS Apache RTR 160 4V takes the design inspiration from its elder sibling, Apache RTR 200 4V and both these motorcycles look absolutely identical to each other. However, what differentiates both of them is the fact that TVS offers different colour shades for the Apache 160 4V and the Apache 200 4V. Also, there are some other minute differences that you can notice with your keen eye like the single-piece set up on the 160 4V, unlike the split seat set up on the 200 4V. The Apache RTR 160 4V is a handsome looking motorcycle and there are no two ways about it.

    With the BS6 update, the Apache RTR 160 4V got a new front fascia. It features a new all-LED headlamp with twin eyebrow-shaped LED DRLs. The Apache RTR 160 4V looks the best from its side profile. It features a sharp aerodynamic side profile. There is a muscular fuel tank with sharp tank extensions and there is an engine cowl too to protect the engine. Also, just like the RTR 200 4V, the Apache RTR 160 4V too gets an offset fuel-filler cap with sporty red-coloured graphics on the body panels. It even gets a dual-tip exhaust which further enhances its sporty appeal. The new TVS Apache RTR 160 4V BS6 is currently available in three colour variants. They are Racing Red, Metallic Blue and Knight Black colour shades.

     

    Summary

  • Apache RTR 160 4V Dimensions and Capacity 9 /10

The Apache RTR 160 4V has a length of 2035 mm, its width is 790 mm and it has a height of 1050 mm. The wheelbase of the motorcycle is 1357 mm and it features a muscular fuel tank that has a total capacity of 12 litres.
