What is the difference between TVS Apache RTR 160 and Apache RTR 160 4V?
The main difference between the Apache RTR 160 and RTR 160 4V lies in their engine configurations and features. The Apache RTR 160 uses a 159.7cc, single-cylinder, air-cooled engine with 2 valves, producing 16hp at 8,750rpm and 13.85Nm at 7,000rpm.

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.

For these reasons, it’s best enjoyed as a daily commuter rather than a long-distance tourer.

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).
