Hiiii i'm a proud owner of the tvs apache rtr 160 4vit's been 9 months since i brought homeand had made a milestone of 10, 000 kms ease and it's still doing good and rolling onit might be the best rtr yetthe 160 cc engine is a punchy one and enough power and torque for city and highway!!!it's quick and overtaking are easetvs have done a great job at building the machineit's refinement are on par with with the japaneseit looks muscular and best among its segmentthe build quality seems pretty solid and i've faced any issues and not even a breakdownservice costs are cheap.Around 4–5k ₹ per annumthe perfectly tuned showa suspension helps and inspires in the corners as tvs says it's not a sports bike and it's a race machinei get a mileage around 40–45kmpl which is more enough for the powerful 160ccwhich even has a top speed of 130's which is best in the segmentthis bike will grab attention on the road as it's a eye catching onedefinitely a must buyride safe.

I have been owning & riding an apache rtr 160 for the past 9 years.I have rode a lot of other vehicles but nothing matches the performance and sporty look of apache in this segment.With regular services this machine is a beast for indian roads, I have been on long rides as well as daily city rides, It is good in all ways such as comfort, Mileage, Speed & braking.Recently i have checked the mileage of the bike as it came close to ~46kmpl in city conditions, Which i guess no other bikes of this 150 cc segment can match after riding for 9 years or 1, 00, 000+ kms.Pros : rider comfortsporty lookmileagelow cost of maintenancepickupcons : pillion seat comfort not suitable for long ridesengine heat transfers to bodyvibrations in handle bar and instrumentation cluster while riding above 110 km/h speed.

I am a fan boy of Apache bikes because of its looks and exhaust sound so i bought a Apache RTR 160 and i was stunned by its performance i use the bike for daily commute and some tours and my daily commute is in Bengaluru and the bike is comfortable with the traffic and i do tours i traveled 600 kms in a day without any issues and the bike was comfortable and yes there is some vibes around some places at high revs thats not a issue once you ride the bike you will get used to it and it gives a felling of raw power being delivered and Apache has the best looks and performance in its segment and the build quality is best The mileage i got is 45-52 After sales service is just prefect here in Bengaluru if here is any problem they take it seriously and fix it Every one who rides Apache will love it💖RTR💖

Apache RTR 160 is a bike with good looks and styling but the major drawback is that it gives lots of vibrations even at lower Rpm. The side fairings, handlebars and the footrest vibrates a lot. The visor looks stylish but it doesnot prevent the windblast to a huge extend, this makes ride difficult in highways. The fuelgauge, doesn't provide appropriate info( Not sure, if this problem is for all bikes ). Later, i have ridden the new RTR 160 4V and am happy that the vibrations have been reduced to a certain extend, and the handlebars have been changed from clip on to ordinary handlebars, which reduced the vibrations in the handlebar and the side fairings are removed and the tank is sculpted well and big and thus the vibration on the tank is reduced. And finally the overall ride quality is good.

Pros :Excellent bike to ride. Very powerful motor in its segment (generates a max power around 16 ps) , very stylish and the most detailed instrument cluster (fully digital). The way it pulls is just way better than its competitors. And moreover the exhaust is so dominating and pleasant on ears. Just loved the machine.Cons:Bigger wheel base so it is bit of hard to turn in smaller spaces since it is heavy as well. For long run, in my opinion the seating stance is bit tiring since it is race inherited. Mileage could have been better but that is a matter of subject which depends upon the traffic and riding style.
