Expert opinion and recommendation

The TVS Apache RTR 160, particularly in the Matte Red color, is a compelling option for those seeking a blend of style, performance, and practicality. While it excels in its sporty design and agile handling, it also faces some drawbacks. The bikes engine, though potent with 15.82bhp and 13.85Nm, can be prone to vibrations at higher RPMs, and the wet grip of the tyres leaves much to be desired. However, its smooth performance, comfortable ride over bad roads, and feature-rich digital instrument console make it a strong contender in the 160cc segment. For riders who value a fun, aggressive riding experience and are willing to overlook a few minor issues, the Apache RTR 160 is a great choice.
