TVS always take their sweet time whenever they want to launch a new product. However, the new Apache RTR 160 4v was launched much earlier than expected. The Supreme court’s mandatory ABS rule is obviously to be given credit here.
Recently TVS sold 1 Lakh Apache RTR 160 4v and all of this was achieved in just a span of 6 months. With such a huge accomplishment, one must wonder, what is exactly the reason behind it. If we look closely, then there are a lot of them.
I love the TVS Apache RTR 200, especially its race spec, 2.0 model. The bike is smooth, grunty and lightweight for all intents and purposes.

The top speed of this bike is around 130 km/h on a good day but a guy has managed to take it beyond 150 km/h in his top speed test. You can see the video-
The impact of the new 4-Valve counterbalanced engine is easily visible. According to many reviewers, the bike vibrates. I, however, find this statement to be untrue.

With the RTR family already consisting of so many members, does it makes sense to bring out a 180 4v model? Let’s compare RTR 160 4v and RTR 180 to see how much different of the on-road performance do these guys translate.
Bajaj Pulsar NS160 has two new competition in two consecutive days, in the form of Honda X-Blade 160 and Apache RTR 160 4V.

Here's a quick comparison between the three motorcycles, choosing the winners in every aspect.
