Review
The 2026 TVS Apache RTR 160 4V emerges as a benchmark-setting model in the 160cc segment. As the latest manifestation of TVS's 'Track to Road' philosophy, this motorcycle stands out with its newly added 37mm gold-finished Upside Down (USD) front forks. This hardware upgrade significantly enhances cornering performance and front-end feedback. At its heart lies the 159.7cc oil-cooled, 4-valve engine, producing a class-leading 17.55 PS in Sport mode. One of the biggest highlights for the 2026 model year is the new 5-inch color TFT display integrated with SmartXonnect technology. This system offers features such as turn-by-turn navigation, call/SMS alerts, and voice assist. Furthermore, the inclusion of three distinct riding modes (Sport, Urban, Rain) and a newly introduced Traction Control System (TCS)—features rare in this segment—elevates safety and ride customization. The addition of an Assist & Slipper clutch and the new Bullpup exhaust design further support both riding comfort and the bike's sporty character, making it a versatile choice for both daily commutes and spirited weekend rides.
