The TVS Apache RTR 160 4V BS6 is one of the best-selling models in TVS’s Apache series, combining performance, style, and advanced technology. Launched with an updated BS6-compliant engine, this motorcycle offers refined performance and improved fuel efficiency, catering to riders who seek a versatile bike for both urban commuting and weekend rides. Priced starting at ₹99,950 (ex-showroom) for the drum brake version, the RTR 160 4V sits in a competitive segment alongside the Suzuki Gixxer 155 and the Yamaha FZ-S FI. Despite its minor drop in power output, the bike retains its sporty DNA with enhanced design and features.
The design of the BS6 Apache RTR 160 4V is a key highlight, incorporating modern elements while retaining its muscular streetfighter stance. The most significant upgrade in the BS6 model is the full LED headlamp unit with claw-shaped daytime running lights (DRLs). These not only enhance visibility but also add to the motorcycle’s aggressive street presence. The sharp tank extensions and new race-inspired graphics on the fuel tank give the bike a more premium look, while the dual-tone seat adds a touch of class.

While the overall design remains largely unchanged from its predecessor, the new LED lighting system makes a noticeable difference in the bike's aesthetic appeal. The fit and finish of the materials used feel solid and premium, continuing the Apache's tradition of offering a refined and well-built product
Pros
- Refined BS6-compliant engine with improved fuel injection technology
- Sharp handling with commendable grip from TVS Remora radial tires
- Enhanced design with a new LED headlamp and race-inspired graphics
Cons
- Slight reduction in power output compared to the previous model
- Lacks the SmartXonnect Bluetooth system, which is available on other models
- 5-speed gearbox could have been slicker for better shifting experience
Verdict
The TVS Apache RTR 160 4V BS6 model continues to be one of the best options in the 160cc segment, offering a refined engine and sporty handling. The updates in design and the new headlamp add to its appeal, though the slight drop in power and the absence of advanced features like SmartXonnect might leave some wanting more. Overall, it remains a solid and stylish performer in its class, offering good value for its price.
