TVS Apache RTR 160 Expert Review

The TVS Apache RTR 160 is a 160cc sporty commuter offering from TVS which comes with a similar design as the original TVS Apache. Although TVS now also offers the Apache RTR 160 4V, the RTR 160 still has its own appeal. Here’s how it feels like in the real world:

Design

The TVS Apache RTR 160 comes with a relatively less snazzy design when compared to the Apache RTR 160 4V. But the bike is able to bring a bit of sportiness with the muscular tank extensions, eyebrow shaped DRLs, and graphics on the fuel tank and tail panels.  Although TVS has brought some updates to the bike, the design overall feels a bit dated. It is meant to resemble the original Apache from the early 2010s but now it doesn’t feel that relevant.

Engine, Mileage & Performance

The TVS Apache RTR 160 is powered by a 159.7cc, single-cylinder 2-valve SOHC air-cooled engine, which produces 16.04PS and 13.85Nm. The bike also comes with 3 riding modes that modulate the bike’s power and ABS intervention, in sport mode the engine delivers 16.04 PS and 13.85Nm, and in Rain/Urban Mode it delivers 13.32 PS and 12.7Nm. The power figures are decent and the engine is able to retain a bit of the character from the original Apache. Riding modes have also brought a bit of versatility to the motorcycle as well.

TVS has also included the 'Glide Through Technology,' (TVS’ term for low rpm assist) in this bike which prevents the bike from stalling at low speeds, allowing riders to manoeuvre the bike with clutch modulation alone, and no throttle input.

Handling & Ride Quality

The Apache RTR 160 has impressive handling characteristics, it rides well both in the city and on the highway. What helps the bike is the short 1,300mm wheelbase which makes it very nimble and agile, it is easy to cut through traffic and also makes cornering an easy affair. The suspension is well tuned and is able to absorb most bumps and potholes while also feeling planted when cornering and going at highspeeds. The only downside is that the front end feels a bit unsettled when riding at high speeds. The brakes can only be described as average but it does get the job done.

Comfort

The ergonomics of the bike is a mixed bag. The short clip-ons and rear set footpegs gives the bike a sporty riding posture. The bike is decent for city commutes but taller riders will have a hard time when going on long trips. The seat is long and spacious giving both the rider and pillion a comfortable experience, it is also well cushioned and doesn’t come off as either too hard or too soft.

Features

In terms of features, the RTR 160 comes with a fully-digital instrument console that displays real time information like speed, fuel levels and tachometer. It also gets a gear position indicator and an upshift indicator alongside readouts such as odometer and tripmeter. Riders who opt for the top end variant will get smartphone connectivity through TVS’ SmartXonnect technology that brings functionalities such as turn-by-turn navigation, call and SMS alerts along with race telemetry and also a lap timer. These ‘smart’ features go a long way in keeping the bike relevant in these modern times.

Should you buy the TVS Apache RTR 160?

The TVS Apache RTR 160 is still a good option for those who want a sporty commuter with decent features. However, the pricing of the bike is very close to that of the TVS Apache RTR 160 4V, which not only offers more performance but also comes with a modern design. Another key highlight is the 4-valve configuration which promises better engine refinement and mileage. Getting the RTR 160 doesn’t make much sense when taking this into account but the bike can still be a great entry point into the 160cc segment, for riders who are on a budget.

  • Urban Warrior with Agile Handling

    The Apache RTR 160 is the TVS's well-balancing of design and performance, able to cater for riders who need to take on the city obstacle. It also offers an exciting and fun riding experience. The bike with its well-defined lines, muscle-type fuel tank, and slick graphics will not pass unnoticed on the roads. Equipped with a 160cc responsive power engine, it provides an impressive performance in terms of stealthiness, responsiveness, and phenomenal gas mileage, thus no longer bothering motor commuters with traffic as well as it is easy to drive around the city streets.

  • An Urban Warrior with a Few Quirks

    Having ridden the TVS Apache RTR 160 for several months, I have come to appreciate its place in the urban jungle. Its 160 cc engine offers a strong ride which is perfect for weaving through city traffic with 15.3HP at your disposal. The bike's agility is complemented by its sporty design making it a head turner.But The vibrations at higher speeds can become a bit too much making long rides less comfortable. Fuel efficiency while decent could be improved to better suit the daily commuter.

  • My Journey with the TVS Apache RTR 160

    After clocking over 5,000 kilometers on my TVS Apache RTR 160, I think it is time I shared my genuine experience. First of the bike pumps out a decent 15.53 PS at 8400 rpm and a torque of 13.9 Nm at 7000 rpm making my city commutes and occasional highway rides quite thrilling. Its sleek design always turns heads and the ride quality is something I have come to appreciate deeply.However it is not all sunshine. The bike does feel heavy in bumper to bumper traffic and the mileage which hovers around 45 kmpl could have been better considering the fuel prices in India.

    In more than different colours and features, the TVS Apache RTR 160 is a modern bike for newer generation. It is an amazing bike model with services at one’s feet. It is easy to operate and even easier to operate and drive. With attractive exterior built and comfortable seats, it is quite nicely suited for both the driver and the passenger at the back. The showroom offers a very obvious and well deserving price for this model and according to me its a great investment. The other functionalities are top notch and smooth.
