TVS Apache RTR 160 4V Gets New Variant at Rs 1.40 Lakh in India: Here's What it Offers

TVS Motor Company has launched a new USD fork variant of the Apache RTR 160 4V motorcycle in India. At Rs 1.40 lakh (ex-showroom), the new variant is around Rs 500 more expensive than the dual-channel ABS version, and has been given a 37mm gold-finished upside-down (USD) fork setup and three new paint finishes. The Apache RTR 160 4V retains its aggressive appearance with a sharp-looking headlight design, fang-type LED Daytime Running Lamps, and a muscular fuel tank, but it is now being offered in Granite Grey, Matte Black, and Pearl White shades. All three feature updated race-inspired graphics. Aside from these changes, the bike remains the same. 

The rear end continues to feature a monoshock, while the top-spec USD variant uses petal-type discs and dual-channel Anti-lock Braking System to handle braking duties. Wheels are 17-inch alloy units. The suspension and braking setup is now on par with the Hero Xtreme 160R 4V (Rs 1.39 lakh) and the Bajaj Pulsar N160 (Rs 1.40 lakh). The prices are ex-showroom.
