The TVS Apache RTR 160 carries three ride modes, Urban, Rain and Sport, and how a buyer weighs those modes often decides which of the seven variants makes sense at the price they are paying. All variants share the 159.7cc air-cooled engine and 5-speed manual gearbox, so the price difference across the range is driven by braking hardware, electronics and ABS configuration rather than mechanical changes; there is no automatic transmission option on this motorcycle.
 

• Base model, RM Drum (Black Edition): Rs. 1.13 lakh ex-showroom, Rs. 1.35 lakh on-road in Thane, drum brakes and single-channel ABS, suited to a rider who mostly uses Urban and Rain modes for commuting.

• Mid variant, RM Disc BT: Rs. 1.22 lakh ex-showroom, Rs. 1.45 lakh on-road in Thane, disc brakes and, from the RM Disc BT trim upward, a Bluetooth-linked digital cluster with turn-by-turn navigation.

• Top model, the Anniversary Edition (Anniversary Edition): Rs. 1.27 lakh ex-showroom, Rs. 1.51 lakh on-road in Thane, the only trim with dual-channel ABS, finished exclusively in Black Champagne Gold Livery.

• Autocar India's road test flags that the range-topping trims sit close in price to the more refined Apache RTR 160 4V, worth cross-shopping before committing to the top-spec model.

• An EMI of Rs. 1,931 on the entry variant keeps the RTR 160's ownership within an accessible monthly outlay for first-time buyers.
