The TVS Apache RTR 160 2V is one of India's most iconic and enduring performance commuter motorcycles, celebrated for establishing TVS Racing's track DNA on everyday public roads. Featuring a crisp 159.7cc air-cooled engine producing 16.04 PS, segment-first multi-riding modes, Glide Through Traffic technology, and a razor-sharp Double Cradle Synchro Stiff chassis, it delivers thrilling low-to-mid range throttle punch paired with unbeatable daily urban maneuverability.
Powering the Apache RTR 160 2V is a time-tested 159.7cc single-cylinder, 4-stroke, 2-valve SOHC engine integrated with TVS's advanced Race Tuned Fuel Injection (RT-Fi) system. In Sport mode, the engine churns out 16.04 PS of power at 8,750 rpm and 13.85 Nm of peak torque at 7,000 rpm, delivering eager off-the-line launch acceleration and confident highway overtaking. In Urban and Rain modes, throttle response is softened to produce 13.32 PS and 12.7 Nm, enhancing rear-wheel traction on damp surfaces while maximizing fuel economy in stop-and-go commuting.
Chassis engineering draws directly from TVS's four decades of racing mastery. The motorcycle is built around an exceptionally rigid Double Cradle Synchro Stiff frame, suspended by telescopic front forks and twin Monotube Inverted Gas-filled Shox (MIG) at the rear. The chassis delivers laser-sharp steering response through tight traffic, while the innovative Glide Through Traffic (GTT) function allows riders to crawl along in first, second, or third gear without touching the throttle, completely eliminating clutch hand strain during peak traffic hours.
Ergonomics balance sporty intent with daily rider usability. The aggressive clip-on handlebars are set at a natural height, while the 790 mm accessible saddle height and 137 kg light kerb weight inspire immense confidence among riders of all statures. The cockpit features a fully digital LCD console with white backlighting, gear shift indicator, 0-60 timer, and optional SmartXonnect Bluetooth connectivity providing turn-by-turn navigation, caller ID alerts, and voice assist.
Things You Will Love (Pros)
Potent 16.04 PS 2-valve RT-Fi engine delivers lively throttle punch and aggressive exhaust growl
Segment-first riding modes (Sport, Urban, Rain) tailor power delivery and throttle sensitivity for varied conditions
Glide Through Traffic (GTT) feature prevents stalling and facilitates effortless low-speed bumper-to-bumper crawls
Accessible 790 mm seat height and lightweight 137 kg chassis provide exceptional urban agility
Robust double-cradle frame and gas-charged rear shocks provide stable, planted cornering composure
Things to Keep in Mind (Cons)
High-rpm vibrations become noticeable through handlebars and footpegs past 7,500 rpm compared to 4-valve engines
Rear seat cushioning is on the firmer side for elderly pillion riders on longer highway journeys
Classic semi-aggressive clip-on riding posture puts slightly more weight on wrists than upright commuter bikes
Air-cooled engine setup runs warm in extended peak summer metropolitan traffic jams
The TVS Apache RTR 160 starts at an official ex-showroom price of ₹1,12,190 for the RM Drum variant in Delhi, reaching ₹1,23,000 for the Dual Channel ABS variant. In everyday mixed city conditions, riders report a realistic fuel economy of 45 to 47 km/l.
The Apache RTR 160 2V features three riding modes: Sport, Urban, and Rain. Sport mode unleashes full engine power (16.04 PS and 13.85 Nm) with sharp throttle response for highway overtakes. Urban and Rain modes restrict output to 13.32 PS and 12.7 Nm to soften power delivery, prevent wheel slippage on wet roads, and optimize city fuel economy.
Glide Through Traffic (GTT) is an innovative low-speed torque assist feature that allows the motorcycle to crawl smoothly in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd gear without requiring any throttle input. By slowly releasing the clutch, the bike maintains steady forward momentum up to 7-17 km/h without engine knocking or stalling, significantly reducing left-hand fatigue in congested traffic.
The Apache RTR 160 2V uses a 2-valve air-cooled engine producing 16.04 PS with classic clip-on ergonomics, raspy exhaust, and an accessible price starting at ₹1,12,190. The Apache RTR 160 4V uses a more advanced 4-valve oil-cooled engine generating 17.55 PS, Showa rear monoshock, more upright ergonomics, and smoother high-rpm refinement, starting at ₹1,20,190.
