The TVS Apache RTR 160 4V has always been one of the best motorcycles in the 160cc segment. It ticks all the right boxes - looks, features, performance - and, thus, gives its rivals a run for their money. Now, to make the competitors even more fearful about this phenomenal product, TVS Motor Company has launched the 2021 model of the Apache RTR 160 4V which is lighter and more powerful than ever before.
Powering the new TVS Apache RTR 160 4V is
the same old 159.7cc single-cylinder engine which complies with the BS6
emission regulations. However, the Hosur-based company has made some changes
and been able to extract out a few more horsepower from the motor. The
oil-cooled mill now produces 17.63 PS of max power at 9250 rpm and 14.73 Nm of
peak torque at 7250rpm. In comparison, previously it was tuned to churn out 16.02 PS
at 8250 rpm and 14.12 Nm at 7250 rpm. TVS Motor Company claims that with this
update, the Apache RTR 160 4V has become the most powerful motorcycle in its
class.
Apart from the revised engine, the 2021
TVS Apache RTR 160 4V has also been worked upon to lose some weight. The disc
brake variant of the new model weighs 147 kg whereas the drum brake variant tips
the scale at 145 kg. Previously, these variants weighed 149 kg and 147 kg
respectively. The latest Apache RTR 160 4V also gets an all-new dual-tone seat
with a carbon-fibre pattern. The rest of the motorcycle remains unchanged.
The new TVS Apache RTR 160 4V will be available
in 3 colour options - Racing Red, Knight Black, and Metallic Blue. It will have
two variants - disc brake and drum brake. The former has been priced at INR
1,10,320* whereas the latter will be set you back by INR 1,07,270.
