The Apache RTR 160 4V uses a 159.7cc, oil-cooled, 4-valve engine · TVS's racing-derived powertrain that delivers strong mid-range torque while staying easy to ride in city traffic.
| Spec | Value |
|---|---|
| Engine | 159.7cc oil-cooled, 4-valve, FI |
| Power | 17.63 PS @ 9250 rpm |
| Torque | 14.73 Nm @ 7250 rpm |
| Mileage (ARAI) | 45 kmpl |
| Kerb weight | 147 kg |
| Fuel tank | 12 L |
| Brakes | Disc / Disc with single or dual-channel ABS |
| Transmission | 5-speed |
| Headlamp | Projector LED |
| Connectivity | SmartXonnect Bluetooth (top variant) |
The bike comes with a slipper clutch and three ride modes (Sport / Urban / Rain) on the top BTO variant, which is rare in this segment. The Rain mode is particularly useful during the Kerala monsoon · it softens throttle response and recalibrates ABS for slippery roads.
There are four variants on offer. Here is how they compare on price and features.
| Variant | Ex-showroom (₹) | Estimated on-road (₹) | Key additions |
|---|---|---|---|
| Drum | 1,18,490 | 1,40,000 | Drum brakes, single-channel ABS |
| Disc | 1,24,500 | 1,47,000 | Front disc, projector LED |
| Dual ABS | 1,30,500 | 1,54,000 | Dual-channel ABS, USB charger |
| BTO (top) | 1,37,500 | 1,62,000 | Slipper clutch, 3 ride modes, SmartXonnect |
If you ride mostly inside Thrissur city and on the NH-544, the Dual ABS variant offers the best balance · confidence-inspiring brakes without paying for features you might not use. If you commute to Athirappilly or do regular weekend ghat rides, the BTO variant with ride modes and slipper clutch is worth the upgrade.

Owners in our service catchment report 40-48 kmpl in mixed Thrissur conditions, with highway runs to Kochi nudging closer to 50 kmpl on Urban mode. With Kerala petrol around ₹107/litre, the Apache RTR 160 4V costs roughly ₹2.30 per kilometre to run · competitive with smaller 125cc commuters considering the performance on tap.
Trichur TVS has been the authorized TVS dealer in Thrissur since 2013. Our flagship Gosaikunnu showroom (opposite Ghosh Gym, Ernakulam Road) and Chalakudy branch (opposite CCMK Hospital) keep all four Apache RTR 160 4V variants in stock for test rides. Every bike sold gets a free first service, on-site RTO assistance, and access to our 12-bay TVS-certified service centre. We also offer trade-in valuation, on-call breakdown support and original-parts servicing under the Trichur TVS Service wing.
For under ₹1.5 lakh on-road, the Apache RTR 160 4V is one of the best-equipped 160cc sport bikes in Kerala. The combination of an oil-cooled 4-valve engine, projector LED, optional slipper clutch and SmartXonnect connectivity makes it punch well above its price point. If you are torn between this and the Apache RTR 200 4V or the value-focused Raider 125, our team can help you compare side-by-side at the showroom.
Trichur TVS stocks a wide range of genuine TVS accessories for the Apache RTR 160 4V, including:
Total accessory budget for a typical buyer ranges from ₹3,500 (basics) to ₹15,000 (full touring spec). All accessories come with TVS warranty when fitted at our showroom and do not affect the bike's main warranty.
Will it work for daily 30 km commute? Yes · Urban mode keeps fuel use down, the seating is comfortable for that distance, and the bike is sized for Indian rider ergonomics.
Can a beginner ride this? With a valid two-wheeler licence and basic riding skill, yes. The 17.6 PS power is approachable, especially in Rain mode. We recommend a refresher loop on our training pad before first ride if you are stepping up from a 125cc.
Is this a good investment for resale? Apache RTR 160 4V holds value well · typically 60-65% retention at 3 years in the Thrissur second-hand market, slightly better than the Bajaj Pulsar N160.
