TVS has launched an all-new colour scheme for the Apache RTR 160, called the Racing Edition. It comes in matte black along with red race-inspired graphics. Additionally, TVS has given it faux carbon fibre inserts on the tank, tail, number plate holder and side panels, along with a set of wheels finished in red. The motorcycle is mechanically unchanged and has received only cosmetic updates.
The Apache RTR 160 is powered by a 159cc single-cylinder that produces 16.04hp at 8,750rpm and 13.85Nm at 7,000rpm. Features include an LCD instrument cluster that supports Bluetooth connectivity. The bike has three riding modes: Sport, Urban and Rain. The TVS Apache RTR 160 Racing Edition is priced at Rs 1.29 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi), which is Rs 1,500 more than the standard Apache RTR 160.
