TVS Apache RTR 160 Expert Review
- Expert Rating
7.9/10 - Design7.5Safety7Comfort8Performance7Significance9Value for Money8.5Fuel Consumption8
The TVS Apache RTR 160 2V is a veteran in the 160cc segment, with over 15 years of legacy behind it. Having undergone a significant revamp in 2022, it continues to offer a fun and engaging ride. The bike retains its original spirit while adding modern features and updates. Priced between ₹1.19 lakh to ₹1.28 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi), it remains relevant and competitive despite newer offerings in the market.
The TVS Apache RTR 160 2V retains its muscular stance and sporty appeal. Updates include a new LED headlamp and taillight, along with refreshed graphics and color schemes. The silhouette remains similar to its predecessor but still feels contemporary amidst modern 160cc bikes.
The bike now comes with a fully digital instrument console, borrowed from its sibling, the RTR 160 4V. This console features TVS' SmartXonnect system, offering Bluetooth connectivity, turn-by-turn navigation, and even a lap timer. Additionally, riders can switch between three riding modes—Rain, Urban, and Sport—making it versatile for different riding conditions
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.

- Mast recing bike5.0Rear Disc(Petrol)Very nice bike ESE smart bike bhi kah sakte haiBy Vikash RajpootPosted on: Jan 02, 2020 05:34 PM59359
- A best bike for city ride4.0Single Disc (Old)(Petrol)A compact good looking bike , but the fibre used around speedo console and side panel gives the feel of a bit cheaper quality. Pick up is awesome, a boon to drive in city traffic , how ever it starts to vibrate a lot around a speed range of 45-65 kmph , after that >65kmph feels comparatively smoother(though still vibration exists).. due to shorter wheel base maneuverability in city is awesome but feels bit unstable at speeds around 100kmph.. Mileage is around 45kmpl in cityand around 52-55kmpl in highways @ speeds <80kmph... Final verdict is a good looking bike for young bikers.(@present time it feels dated as compared to fzs v2, gixxer, hornet and pulsar 160ns ) .By Rajendra Kumar ChoudhuryPosted on: Sep 01, 2019 03:13 PM6222
