BREAKING: The Apache RTR 160 4V Now Gets Riding Modes!

As you can see, there’s a slight drop in power in the 2022 model. However, TVS has balanced it out with the segment-first riding modes. This should also help newbie riders gain greater confidence while riding the motorcycle. The engine is mated to the same 5-speed transmission as before.

Apart from the riding modes, all the variants feature a gear position indicator, revised LED headlamp with LED DRL. The new headlamp can function in both low and high beams simultaneously. Except for the base variant, the others get a rear radial tyre. Radial rubber has a stronger sidewall than a conventional tyre, and that should help in improving the cornering confidence.

The top-end variant and the Special Edition model come with TVS SmartXonnect, which is TVS’ smartphone connectivity module. This allows the rider to use turn-by-turn navigation.

What’s Unchanged?

The rest of the underpinnings and body panels have remained unchanged. The bike continues to use a telescopic front fork, rear monoshock, 270mm petal disc up front, and 130mm rear drum/200mm petal disc at the rear, with single-channel ABS as standard.

ZigSays

TVS has blessed the already-popular and capable Apache RTR 160 4V range with an impressive set of updates. The new riding modes will certainly help the bike stand apart from the rest of its rivals. Even the pricing is right, on par with most of its competitors.
