- Top-spec components
- Sharp handling
Cons
- Limited Availability
- Racy body graphics not suitable for everyday use
- More expensive than stock Apache RTR 160 4V
Verdict
The TVS Apache RTR 165 RP is a special edition model which is already sold out. With better performance, improved braking hardware, brass coated chain and sprocket, the Apache RTR 165 RP certainly offers an attractive proposition, but comes at a price. Despite the engine with more performance, low-end grunt is lacking in the Apache RTR 165 RP and the price tag makes it feel expensive.
