Our take on this /// Verdict
The TVS Apache RTR 160, particularly the older model, is a bike that excels in performance but has some trade-offs. It offers a powerful 159.7cc 4-stroke air-cooled engine, producing 15.4 PS of power at 8500 rpm, making it one of the most potent bikes in its class. The bikes power-to-weight ratio is impressive, ensuring it handles well even with a pillion rider. However, it comes with some drawbacks such as notchy gear shifts, average rear drum brakes, and noticeable vibrations at certain speeds. The riding position, though not for everyone, provides a sporty feel and is comfortable for long rides. If you prioritize performance over mileage, this bike is a great choice, but if fuel efficiency is your main concern, you might want to look elsewhere.
Price
The pricing for the older TVS Apache RTR 160 models in India has varied over the years, but during its peak, the ex-showroom price was around 80,000 to 90,000.

Apache is my beloved bike. Specially model of 2016, Just one word, Happy and acceptable bike. And my personal opinion is for those who love Apache RTR, than you should guys try to encourage this company because there are competitor in market, but Apache RTR is the best engineering of TVS company.

Best Features: Instrument cluster, aerodynamic scopes, ABS, roto petal disc, Superb synchronized racing Chassé for better control in 140 kmph speed. Good for money value.

Pros: First thing is it's aggressive look, and Superb performance in its segment, amazing and stylish aggressive look, mostly in this matte blue edition I believe this is best rear happy bike in india.

Cons: Nothing to compromise in 2016 year model
