What is the difference between TVS Apache RTR 160 and Apache RTR 160 4V?

Is the TVS Apache RTR 160 good for long rides and touring?
The TVS Apache RTR 160 is a quick, agile, and fun bike that excels in city riding and on short trips.

The TVS Apache RTR 160 range currently includes five standard variants, with prices starting at Rs 1.11 lakh and going up to Rs 1.23 lakh for the dual-channel ABS model (ex-showroom, Delhi).
