TVS has updated its popular Apache RTR 160 4V motorcycle with upside-down (USD) front forks, enhanced features, and three new color schemes. The upgrades include Bluetooth-enabled SmartXonnect, three riding modes, and dual-channel ABS. Prices start at ₹1.40 lakh (ex-showroom) for the top variant, making the bike a compelling option in its segment.

TVS Motor Company has rolled out significant upgrades for the Apache RTR 160 4V, a popular choice in the 160cc segment. The key highlight is the introduction of USD front forks for improved handling and stability, a feature increasingly sought in this category. The updated model also brings an advanced SmartXonnect system, enabling Bluetooth connectivity for turn-by-turn navigation, call alerts, and ride statistics.

The 2024 iteration offers three riding modes—Urban, Rain, and Sport—allowing riders to adapt to varied road conditions. In Sport mode, the 159.7cc oil-cooled, single-cylinder engine delivers 17.55 PS of power and 14.73 Nm of torque, paired with a smooth 5-speed gearbox. The bike also features dual-channel ABS for enhanced braking performance, a fully digital instrument cluster with gear position and shift indicators, and the brand’s patented Glide Through Technology for seamless low-speed maneuverability.

In terms of aesthetics, the Apache RTR 160 4V is available in three striking colors, including the newly introduced Lightning Blue, which features sporty graphics and contrasting red accents. The design upgrades enhance the bike’s aggressive and dynamic look.

With prices ranging from ₹1.24 lakh to ₹1.40 lakh (ex-showroom), the updated Apache RTR 160 4V competes with rivals like the Bajaj Pulsar N160, Yamaha FZ-S Fi, and Hero Xtreme 160R. Deliveries are expected to begin soon, and bookings are already open at TVS dealerships nationwide.
