TVS has streamlined the Apache RTR 160 4V line-up, reducing the earlier exhaustive variant spread to four distinct trims – RM Disc Black Edition, Single Channel ABS, Dual Channel ABS with USD and USD with TFT.
Irrespective of the variant, the Apache RTR 160 4V continues with its 159.7cc single-cylinder engine producing 17.5hp and 14.7Nm. The motorcycle also retains its sporty positioning within the segment, with the higher variants layering additional technology and hardware upgrades over the base package.
RM Disc Black Edition
Rs 1.19 lakh
The RM Disc Black Edition serves as the entry point into the Apache RTR 160 4V range and is priced at Rs 1.19 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi).
Despite being the base variant, it comes equipped with riding modes (Urban, Rain, and Sport), which is what the RM nomenclature denotes. This version also features a front disc brake setup and an all-black visual treatment. It is positioned as the most accessible version while still retaining the Apache’s performance-focused character.
Single Channel ABS
Rs 1.25 lakh
The Single Channel ABS variant builds on the base trim by adding the safety net of single-channel ABS.
Beyond this addition, the overall mechanical package remains unchanged. This variant is aimed at buyers looking for added braking safety without stepping up to the more premium hardware offered higher up the range.
Priced at Rs 1.25 lakh, it commands a premium of around Rs 6,000 over the RM Disc Black Edition.
Dual Channel ABS with USD
Rs 1.31 lakh
The Dual Channel ABS with USD variant introduces more substantial hardware upgrades. As the name suggests, it adds dual-channel ABS along with upside-down front forks, enhancing braking performance, front-end feel and the visual quotient.
These additions further sharpen the RTR 160 4V’s sporty appeal while also visually differentiating it from the lower variants.
At Rs 1.31 lakh, this variant costs roughly Rs 6,000, and sits above the Single Channel ABS trim.
USD with TFT
Rs 1.38 lakh
The top-spec USD with TFT variant adds a TFT instrument cluster to the package while retaining the USD fork setup.
The TFT display brings a more premium interface and connected features, positioning this as the most comprehensively equipped Apache RTR 160 4V currently on sale. Mechanically, it remains unchanged from the lower variants.
Priced at Rs 1.38 lakh, it commands a premium of Rs 7,000 over the Dual Channel ABS with USD variant.
All prices are ex-showroom, Delhi.
