Pros Cons TVS Apache RTR 160

Pros

  • Offers a fun and peppy ride with three riding modes: Rain, Urban, and Sport
  • Lightweight at 138 kg, providing agile handling and easy maneuverability in city traffic
  • Fully digital instrument cluster with SmartXonnect system and Bluetooth connectivity for modern features like navigation

Cons

    • Engine shows its age, with vibrations setting in after 80 kmph
    • Ride quality feels too soft, and the front suspension bottoms out over sharp bumps
    • Ergonomics may feel cramped for taller and heavy-set riders, limiting comfort on longer rides

Verdict

The TVS Apache RTR 160 2V remains a fun and agile motorcycle, especially in urban settings, with a peppy engine and lightweight frame. However, the engine’s age shows with noticeable vibrations at higher speeds, and its softer suspension affects ride quality on rough roads. While it’s still a good option for those looking for a simple, no-nonsense ride, the marginal price difference with the more advanced Apache RTR 160 4V makes the latter a better choice in this segment.
