TVS Apache RTR 160 Questions and Answers

Question 1

Q. What are the engine specifications of TVS Apache 160?

Answer

The TVS Apache RTR 160 is powered by a fuel-injected 159.7cc single-cylinder 2-valve SOHC air-cooled motor. It produces 16.04PS and 13.85Nm and is paired to a 5-speed gearbox.

Question 2

Q. How is the braking and handling of TVS Apache 160?

Answer

The Apache RTR 160 is built on a double-cradle frame which is suspended upon conventional telescopic front forks and dual gas-charged rear shock absorbers. The braking setup comprises of a 270mm petal disc brake at the front and a 130mm drum unit at the rear (200mm disc optional). Its 17-inch wheels are shod with 90/90 front and 110/80 rear tubeless tyres. ABS has been given a miss here and isn’t even offered as an option.

Question 3

Q. Is TVS Apache RTR 160 a better choice?

Answer

The TVS RTR 160 sports a relatively conservative design compared to the more aggressive Apache RTR 160 4V. However, its eyebrow-shaped DRLs and muscular fuel tank extensions add a bit of aggression to the otherwise staid design. Despite its age, we must say that the Apache RTR 160 still is a handsome-looking bike and the subtle updates have managed to keep the design fresh. Powering the TVS Apache RTR 160 is a 159.7cc single-cylinder air-cooled engine. It produces 15.3PS of power at 8000rpm and 13.03Nm of torque at 6500rpm. Transmission duties are handled by a 5-speed gearbox. While the styling has managed to remain contemporary, the motor has started to show its age, it isn’t as smooth and vibe free as the RTR 160 4V’s engine. For braking, it gets a 270mm front petal disc and 130mm rear drum, with a 200mm rear disc available as an optional extra. Both bikes now get single-channel ABS as standard. Overall, it is a great package and will be a good pick. Moreover, we would suggest you to take a test ride before making the final decision.

Answer

TVS has dealt with the Apache RTR 160 performance issue and has now made the bike near-perfect, well, except of course those raised eye-brow-like DRLs, which we think are a polarizing aspect of the design. Factor in the kind of equipment and features on offer, and it becomes a no-brainer if you’ve got performance on your mind. On the other hand, TVS Apache RTR 180 is a fun-to-ride motorcycle with quick handling dynamics and a range of safety features. The razor-sharp handling makes it a hoot to ride and it is a value-for-money vehicle. Moreover, we would suggest you to take a test ride before making the final decision.
