About the Reviewer

Well that was a great experience to ride apache 160 4v. I was fan of apache brand but when it comes to engine refinement, it was bad but new apache rtr 160 4v is the bike which i always wanted to ride. This bike got everything which i wanted. Everything's are fixed. It is the new apache rtr which got engine refinement great looks better shock absorber and cool exhaust, all digital instrument cluster and last but not the least better riding experience. Bike rides smoothly without any hassle thanks to new 4v engine. It turns like a knife in the butter, smoothly. Great pickup and better torque proper seating position. When it comes to mileage company says 60 but it gives around 50 kmpl. Depends on your riding. Well that was my reviews for any other details. Stay there Tune.

Buying experience is ok. I bought twin disc version on 22nd july. On road price 98000 vijayawada, andhra pradesh. Rode for only 270kms till now. I am getting around 52-54kmpl (low traffic+ highway) when riding between 40-50kmph .Pillion comfort is good(parents). Best thing about this bike is its looks everyone will turn their head to see this beast.

About the Reviewer

I'm a college student and I had been asking my parents for a bike for many months and then somehow finalised this and got it in the month of November. Here are my views on it after using it for 1 month:-
This is a race derived version of the TVS Apache RTR 165 which is used for National Championships. The design is striking, stunning from all angles and is one of the most aggressive looking bikes in its segment. It has a flat handle bar which is comfortable to hold on. The quality of plastics on the switch gear are of good quality and durable. The single piece seat on this bike is soft and comfortable for the rider and pillion as compared to its elder brother Apache 200. The seating position is slightly sporty but comfortable enough for daily commutes. Shorter riders (Below 5'5) would find it difficult to place their foot completely on the ground due to the relatively higher seat height (800mm).
Regarding the performance aspect of the vehicle it is powered by a single cylinder 159.7 cc air cooled engine with an oil cooler which is good enough for 16.4 PS of power @ 8000 rpm and 14.8 Nm of Torque @ 6500 rpm. It redlines at 11500 rpm. The bike is tuned for good mid-range and top end performance. The low end is not punchy but it's adequate for overtaking in the city. The engine is very refined and there are no vibrations until after 7000 rpm where you experience vibrations mainly at the foot pegs and the tank but it's not bad enough to get you unsettled. The heat management is very good and directs the hot air underneath the rider. The gearbox is a 5 speed constant mesh unit and provides for a very slick and smooth operation. The bike consists of telescopic front forks and a gas charged monoshock at the rear (6 step preload adjustable). You also get a 270 mm disc at the front and a 230 mm disc on the rear. It is worn on a 110 section tire at the front and a 130 section tire on the rear.
Ride quality is very smooth and well damped. The suspension setup is a perfect balance between sporty riding and commuting. High speed stability is good but it gets a little unsettled when encountered by heavy crosswinds. Handling wise, it's very easy to manoeuvre through the city traffic. Can't say about cornering because I still haven't gotten a chance to test it out. Will update my review after the experience.
Regarding braking, The initial bite and progression was slow and had to give in more pedal input to slow down the bike sufficiently.
First service was between 500-750 kms and overall experience was satisfactory. Spare parts are not very expensive and requires low maintenance due to reliability of the vehicle.
To summarise my review here are my pros and cons:-
Pros:
1. Good Performance
2. Ride Quality and Handling
3. Fuel Efficient (40-45 kmpl in city)
4. Low Maintenance
5. Design and overall fit and finish
Cons:
1. Brakes are not very effective
2. Lack of ABS
3. Flat sounding exhaust
I apologise for writing such a long review but I hope this information is helpful to others while taking a decision to buy the bike.

About the Reviewer

I have used many bike but it was a great deal with my money and good satisfaction. It's speed is maximum 120 to riding and no vibration during the running. Tvs service center is near our location and good service provide to area. And also review for the designer made this design out of 10/10. Front side look is very curvature and good light accessories.

About the Reviewer

It is the best bike in 160 cc segment.The best thing i liked in it is its refinment.Build quality is decent.The headlight is poor in low beam.It can be used for long rides too,the seat is very comfortable.I found some smaller heating issues and finally the worst thing related to this bike is its service centre.None of the service centres in my city do decent job.Even local mechanics do better job than them.
