The Apache RTR 160cc has all the makings of a lean, mean and wild machine; the latest Apache to hit the Indian roads, it takes over from where the older TVS Motors offerings left off: get reading to earn your racing stripes, true-blue bikers!
Known for its affinity to techno-savvy bike designing and accessorizing flanks with sensational stylizing, TVS Motors has more than adequate ammo for capturing a whole new bike-loving segment in India and converting old-faithfuls from other established brand loyalty status to potential owners of a technologically advanced and powerful riding experience: the new Apache 160 unveiled! While the earlier model did not receive the attention it deserved, due to limited marketing and advertising exposure, the new RTR 160 plans to take over the remaining customers who were not reachable through inadequate outreach sales programs and is all set to win hearts and sales targets where its predecessor, the Apache 150 failed.
Measuring 2020 mm in length and 1050 mm high, the new Apache has a slightly longer wheel base of 1300 mm, an increase of 40mm over its predecessor. However, the weights of both the bikes are the same, at 136 Kg. A brand new look to the body of the bike is contained in features like bright colors and ready to race graphics generously incorporated into the Apache 160’s looks; black alloys compete with red striping for attention and extend all the way from the mudguard to the petrol tank, trailing off towards the tail lamp section. A black footrest from its hey-days has rightly given way to machined aluminum upgrade while floral-cut disc brakes grant the TVS Apache RTR its racing stripes. To earn yours, you need to look beyond the initial eye-candy it affords with the digital readout speedometer and the analogue RPM meter alongside, similar to the already high-selling Bajaj Pulsar. These integrated looks digital controls on the Apache RTR bike afford riders the ability to check on speed, fuel, odometer and distance readings while serving the purpose of nagging spouses by giving a service-due reminder too.
More in store for the man looking for a fitting companion for long rides on lonely streets: the Apache RTR bike is not short of either powered performance or external beauty. Here’s the lowdown:
Dual triangular LED tail lamp features are arresting enough for the first-time looker but what calls for a second glance towards the Apache RTR 160 lies beyond the integrated reflex reflector: the entire riding position is made affordable in a way that lends ergonomics a whole new meaning, with style and comfort adequately provided for. The handlebar of the Apache RTR can be adjusted to accommodate the rider’s height and requirements for comfortable handling while strong front suspension with telescopic forks and 105mm stroke and rear suspension granted spring aid make for safe and effortless riding pleasure. Braking system remains almost the same as the Apache 150 with Disc in the front and drum in rear, however, the front disc diameter has been slightly increased by 30mm to 270mm, for effective braking.
Pricing perfect, wide wheel and tire ratios makes for road and ride-worthiness factors in the four stroke, single cylinder 15.2bhp (at 8500rpm) Apache RTR, a great buy for bold bikers!
The Apache RTR comes with a price tag of Rs.65, 000 with color choices of Red, Yellow, Silver, Black and Titanium; its closest competitors are the Bajaj Pulsar and Honda Unicorn, both being considerably higher in price ranges. This makes the Apache RTR from TVS Motors a real bargain deal for similar style treatment and quality riding experience. So, are you ready to rule the roads yet
