TVS Apache RTR 160 4V Price in Mumbai

After 8 months of ownership, I still enjoy this bike every time I twist the throttle. The performance is genuinely impressive, and the acceleration continues to put a smile on my face.
For my regular office-to-home commute, including bumper-to-bumper traffic and frequent signals, I consistently get around 36 km/l. On highways, the mileage improves significantly—at a steady cruising speed, I’ve managed roughly 44–46 km/l using E20 fuel.
There’s definitely room for more features, especially considering what some competitors offer. I would have liked to see hazard lights and a real-time mileage indicator on the TFT cluster. The ABS is not switchable, which isn’t necessarily a drawback from a safety perspective, but having the option could be a useful addition for experienced riders. Also, cruise control would be really nice to have.
The rear suspension feels slightly stiff when riding solo. However, with a pillion of decent weight, the ride becomes much more comfortable and well-balanced.
My showroom experience was just okay, but the service-centre experience has been good so far. One thing I would strongly suggest is not blindly opting for extended service packages or long-term service schemes beyond the third free service. Evaluate the service quality first and decide based on your experience.
A lot of people complain about poor service, but I feel it depends heavily on the specific service centre. The one I visit has been reliable, so my experience has been positive. If you’re unhappy with the authorised service centre after the free services, you can always find a trustworthy independent mechanic or a reputable service franchise. For example, Michelin Tyre & Service (MTS) outlets can be useful for tyre-related work, while a dependable local workshop may be a better option for regular maintenance.
Overall, it’s a fun, efficient, and enjoyable bike with strong performance. A few additional features would make it even better, but after 8 months, I’m still very happy with the ownership experience.

About the Reviewer

Buying Experience & Looks:
The buying process at the TVS showroom was seamless and well-managed. The Special Edition looks stunning on the road—the matte finish, red alloy wheels, and sharp LED headlight make it a real head-turner in the 160cc segment.
Riding Experience & Performance:
The 159.7cc oil-cooled engine is incredibly refined. Glide Through Technology (GTT) makes heavy traffic effortless, while Sport mode delivers strong acceleration when needed. The riding posture is comfortable for daily commutes with minimal wrist strain. Suspension is slightly firm for better high-speed stability, and handling through city traffic is light and agile.
Mileage & Servicing:
I consistently get around 40-42 kmpl in the city and up to 47 kmpl on open highways. Authorized TVS service centers have been reliable, with low routine maintenance costs.
Pros:
- Refined engine with distinct riding modes
- Loaded with features like Bluetooth navigation and GTT
- Premium design and impressive build quality
Cons:
- Rear seat padding could be slightly softer for long pillion rides
- Suspension feels a bit stiff over sharp potholes
Maintenance Tip for Owners:
Keep the chain properly cleaned and lubricated every 500 km, and stick strictly to the recommended oil change intervals. Also, maintain correct tire pressure to maximize both mileage and handling.
