    This Apache comes equipped with TVS Remora tyres at both ends: a 90/90-17 upfront and a 130/70-17 at the rear. But that rear rubber is only offered on the rear disc brake variants, as the rear drum variant gets a 110/80-17 rear. But put the bike through its paces and it’s clear that this RTR 160’s handling prowess is down primarily to the chassis and suspension setup, because the tyres are average at best. Hats off to TVS for engineering such a brilliant setup, which we think should feel even better with better rubber. To be honest, the brakes were a bit of a disappointment. The front brake lever feels spongy and there’s almost no feel from it. Even the bite is not all that great. In fact, a couple of times, under very hard braking, we got a massive brake fade. While we don’t believe that these brakes will be an issue for everyday use, if you’re riding hard and fast, such as on a racetrack, you will need to recalibrate braking distances in your head. Though we haven't tested the bike in wet road conditions, it requires more cautious riding. In our road test, it delivered 50.9kmpl in the city and 56.1kmpl on the highway. Also, mileage will depend on factors like riding style, road traffic conditions etc. Do take a test ride in order to get better clarity. Check out authorised dealership details.

    Just done 1st service and odometer reading is 481 kms, the bike's mileage is about 36 km/l in the city. I stay at Kolkata and my driving is only in the city limits. As I haven't completed 750 kms so my speed limit is 50 km/hr and still getting that kind of poor mileage. Don't know how 50 km/l mileage is achieved.

  • My Journey with the TVS Apache RTR 160 4V

    After a year of roaming through busy city streets and the occasional adventurous tour on the highway, I can honestly share my experience with my trusty ride the TVS Apache RTR 160 4V. Known for its robust 160 cc engine, this beast has not disappointed in the performance department.The ride quality and handling are top notch, showing off its racing lineage. The fuel efficiency is quite commendable too delivering around 45 kmpl on mixed usage quite a savior given the ever rising fuel prices.The seat is sporty, gets a bit uncomfortable on longer rides.

  • The Thrill of Owning the TVS Apache RTR 160 4V

    Six months and 6,500 kilometers later, my TVS Apache RTR 160 4V has been a great purchase. With a 17.63 PS power at 9250 rpm and torque of 14.73 Nm at 7250 rpm this beast has made every ride exhilarating. Its handling is spot on thanks to the well balanced chassis and the smooth gear transition making me feel in total control at all times.But it is not without its flaws. The seat could do with more cushioning for better comfort on longer journeys. Additionally the hustle and bustle of the Indian roads, I find the fuel efficiency approximately 45-50 kmpl a bit underwhelming.
