Refreshing Apache RTR
Wednesday, December 10, 2008The Apache RTR 160 has been upgraded with visual changes like the New Apache Fi and becomes Apache RTR 160 RD. It features a naked chain cover, rear disk brake, tank cowl like in the Bajaj Pulsar 200 and a serrated design stickers (instead of the striped ones found on the RTR 160) which runs across the length of the bike.
It is powered by a 159.7cc engine which develops maximum power of 15.2bhp at 8500 rpm and a peak torque of 13.1Nm at 6000 rpm. The new engine is not just an overbore of the Apache’s 150cc engine. The engine’s stroke was cut down to 52.9 mm and then the bore grew to 62 mm. Sadly, notchy and much complained Apache gearbox has been retained. Wheelbase is increased to 1300mm from the current 1260mm to accommodate 40 mm longer rectangular swingarm. This is to increase the stability of the bike.
It comes with digital dash - LCD speedo, two trip meters, clock, odometer, fuel gauge and an analog tachometer. Also has useful features like service and battery indicator. Another useful feature is the clip on handlebar for various positions. Apart from the Digital Speedometer and the Petal shaped disc brakes which are "new" additions on the Apache RTR RD, there isn't much change in the looks compared to the old Apache 160. The rear is also same with LED tail lamps, re-styled silencer and CBZ X-treme type split grab rail.
Main Additional Features of Apache RTR RD:
1. Digital Speedometer.
2. Petal shaped disc brakes.
3. Serrated design stickers.
4. Naked chain cover & tank cowl like in the Bajaj Pulsar 200.
5. LED tail lamps.
6. Clip on handlebar for various positions.
7. Service and battery indicator.
Following are performance figures of Apache RTR RD:
0-60 kph: 4.80 seconds
0-100 kph: 17.69 seconds
30-80 kph (4th gear): 11.84 seconds
30-80 kph (5th gear): 15.68 seconds
Maximum speed: 118 kph
Fuel Economy: 40-45 kmpl
