Expert opinion and recommendation

The TVS Apache RTR 160 Matte Blue (Rear Disc) is a compelling choice in the 160cc segment, offering a blend of performance, style, and practicality. I find the bikes aggressive look, particularly in the matte blue color, to be quite appealing. The engine, with its 16.04 PS of power and 13.85 Nm of torque, provides a smooth and potent ride, making it enjoyable both in city traffic and on the highways. The bikes handling is impressive, with a double cradle frame and gas-charged rear shocks that make it nimble in corners and comfortable over rough roads. However, the vibrations that start to creep in at higher RPMs are a minor drawback. Overall, its a great option for those seeking a balance between performance and everyday usability.

I think this integration of technology makes the Apache RTR 160 4V a compelling choice for riders who want more than just a stylish bike.

TVS introduced the Apache RTR 160 in a new matte blue edition back in 2015, which was a purely cosmetic update adding a matte blue paint job and red pin striping. This update maintained the same specifications as the previous models but gave the bike a fresh and appealing look. I think this cosmetic update was a great move to keep the bike looking modern and attractive.

Really very amazing bike of its segment.... very smooth running .. i love drive ...
It is far better than pulsar and cbz extreme..
Exhaust sound truly racing
I measured its pickup ... it take 0 to 60 in 5.6 sec. It depends on how u shift gears at correct RPM ... it .be vary with other drivers
And top speed i measured is 114.
Since im daily drive it appox. 50 km in city... i guess it give me an average of appox. 40~43 bt is better for city .. at any spped u drive it gave u this figure avg.
Performance and handling is amazing .. u can cut or overtake any vehicle at any time... in any situation... since my apache 160 has double disc... so i can stop it at any speed...
I .. u enjoy its riding...
Only one disadvantage: above 60 ... it start vibrate.. ur legs start shaken.
Only this is problm... bt upto 60 it is.. one of the best bike... even my father enjoyed its driving... who was driving before it yamah RX100.
