THE TVS APACHE RTR IS A MOTORCYCLE that has aged quite well over the years. Even now, this 160-cc bike remains a relevant choice in its segment. For 2023, TVS have given the two-valve (2V) Apache RTR 160 a slew of updates, including new design elements, graphics, features, and more power.
Cosmetically, the bike gets a black windscreen, a new headlight and tail-light design with an LED set-up, and daytime running lights (DRL) in the front. TVS have re-designed the fuel-tank and the engine cowl to make them sharper in order to reduce drag and have also added tank scoops to channel hot air away from the engine.
The highlight of the updates that the RTR 160 2V receives is the fully digital display that is now standard on the 2V series. It replaces the old analogue rpm meter. The top variant of the RTR 160 2V line-up even gets a Bluetooth-enabled (TVS SmartXonnect) instrument cluster that facilitates access to useful information such as SMS and call alerts as well as turn-byturn navigation. Besides those, it also displays the top speed achieved, the average speed, and a 0-60 km/h timer.
