Expert's Opinion on Apache RTR 160 4V

Overview

Great Example of Exciting Performance

Ever since its entry into the Indian two-wheeler market all those years ago, the TVS Apache RTR 160 4V has always offered exhilarating performance and great handling capabilities. And the bike is still going strong to this day after some much needed and well executed upgrades over the years. Hence, it is still one of the best bikes to consider in the 160cc sporty segment.

Design

Aggressive Road Presence

The RTR 160 4V gets the typical streetfighter design with the aggressive and sharp design lines
The LED headlight and DRLs that resemble fangs give it a menacing look
The double barrel exhaust’s design ties up the overall look of the bike very well

Performance & Mileage

Exciting Yet Smooth Performance

The motor feels very refined and smooth and offers very aggressive performance
Once you reach the higher end of the rev range, the motor feels more alive and the performance is very exciting then
During our real-world tests, the bike delivered mileage outputs of 47.81kmpl in the city and 49.80kmpl on the highway
As a rev happy motor, you will need to do rapid gear changes in the city to extract the grunt required for quick overtakes and filtering through traffic

Handling

Agile Handler

Handling is one of the bike’s biggest strengths along with the motor
The bike very agile and tips into corners very easily
The suspension setup along with the great grip from the tyres provide confidence to tip the bike into corners
The bike remains steady when leaned over into corners as well
The stopping power from the brakes could have been better and the feedback from the lever isn’t that great either

Ride Quality

Feels Plush

The suspension setup offers a very plush ride quality on the highway as well as the city
It absorbs bumps and potholes quite well

Comfort & Storage

Not Its Biggest Strength

The committed riding posture with the slightly rear-set footpegs is good for spirited riding
But larger and taller riders will feel a bit cramped after spending a bit of time on the bike

Features

Packed To The Brim

The RTR 160 4V is one of the most feature rich bikes in the segment
It gets an LCD instrument console with Bluetooth connectivity for turn-by-turn navigation and voice assist
It also gets three riding modes: Sport, Rain and Urban which actually work really well

Verdict

(Probably) The Most Thrilling 160cc Streetfighter

The RTR 160 4V offers a great package of aggressive performance, great handling characteristics, plush ride quality (minus the cramped ergonomics) and a features list that is unmatched by any of its rivals in the segment. If you are in the market for a 160cc sporty bike, then this one is one of the best bikes money can buy.

Pros and Cons of Apache RTR 160 4V

Likes

Good ride quality and handles really well
Impressive engine performance
The instrument cluster is loaded with useful features

Dislikes

Expert's Conclusion

The TVS Apache RTR 160 4V has been a benchmark in the 160cc motorcycle category for a while now, and TVS ensures that it maintains its position as the most powerful bike in its class. Despite being loaded with features, it has a reasonable price tag making it one of the best choices in its category.
