TVS introduced a significant hardware upgrade for the Apache RTR 160 4V. The new 37 mm upside-down (USD) front fork replaces the previous telescopic suspension. This addition enhances stability, especially during sharp turns or uneven terrains. Coupled with the rear monoshock, the suspension now delivers a more refined riding experience. Moreover, the inclusion of dual-channel ABS ensures effective braking under diverse conditions.
A Vibrant Color Scheme to Match with the Modern Appearance
TVS has also provided three new tints to this model: Granite Grey, Matte Black, and Pearl White. Every shade blends well with the golden-finish USD fork, making the bike look priceless. These daring shades are for performance- oriented and style-spoiled riders. Also, it heightens the aesthetic value of the bike so that it can easily cut through the traffic and road.
Cutting-edge digital features for a connected ride:
The updated RTR 160 4V continues to boast an advanced digital dashboard. It features SmartXonnect technology, creating a smarter riding experience through voice-assisted commands. Riders will have access to navigation to reach a destination with turn-by-turn commands, crash alert and call or SMS, features that add on to the comfort and safety, especially for city dwellers. Beyond this, the system enables three riding modes, namely Urban, Rain, and Sport, each working on an optimum basis of the rider’s specific requirements.
Engine Performance: Power Meets Efficiency
Under the hood, the Apache RTR 160 4V continues with its robust 160 cc single-cylinder, oil-cooled engine. This unit generates 17.35 bhp and 14.73 Nm of torque, maintaining its reputation for spirited performance. With its five-speed gearbox, one gets very smooth power flow through all gears. The engine has also been tuned such that a smooth ride can be accounted for over long commuting or highway runs.

Enhanced Safety and Riding Dynamics
Safety features remain a priority for this model. The dual-channel ABS system prevents wheel lock-up during sudden braking. This feature is particularly beneficial on wet or slippery surfaces. The bike’s low-slung design and agile frame further improve maneuverability in dense traffic. Riders can confidently navigate tight corners and congested streets without compromising control.
Competitive Pricing with Premium Upgrades
The price for the revised Apache RTR 160 4V has been set at ₹1.40 lakh (ex-showroom). The bike is now costlier by ₹3,000 than its previous variant, which featured telescopic suspension. However, the USP of the USD fork and improved design justifies the new price tag. Its feature list also makes the bike one of the best value offers in the segment.
The Apache RTR 160 4V riders are provided with an ergonomically designed seat. The seat is cushioned well so that it is available for longer rides. With upright handlebar postures, it naturally flexes the wrists and shoulders. Paired with its intelligent suspension, these aspects promise smooth ride comfort to riders.
Why the Apache RTR 160 4V Stands Out
This upgraded version of the Apache RTR 160 4V further solidifies its position of market dominance. It addresses both performance-oriented enthusiasts and style-conscious riders through advanced technology, premium hardware, and stylish design elements from TVS. Moreover, the versatile riding modes along with a digital dashboard offer unmatched convenience and adaptability.
