TVS APACHE RTR 160

 TVS APACHE RTR 160 FOR SPORTS?

The TVS Apache is a brand of motorcycle made by TVS Motors since 2006. In 2008 the company claimed that more than 2.5 million Apaches were on the road. Currently the company sells five variants of the TVS Apache.

Design and styling

The Apache was the first bike in India with a petal disc brake, which offers better heat dispersion thereby allowing fewer brake fades. The same bike introduced ABS in a 2-wheeler for the first time in India.

Comfort and handling

According to a 2007 review, since the bike was optimized for handling, the ride quality was on the stiff side. Previous versions of Apache had a wheelbase of 1,260 mm (50 inches) which resulted in better turning in at the expense of stability. TVS increased the wheelbase by 40 mm (1.6 inches) to improve the stability. The Apache 180 introduced ABS to the line-up in 2011. 

Awards

TVS Apache won Performance Bike Of The Year (2008) from BUSINESS STANDARDS Motoring Awards. The TVS Apache RTR 200 4V has been awarded the NDTV Motorcycle of the Year up to 250cc for 2017.

CONCLUSION

TVS motors always made bikes according to the customer’s needs. That is the reason they won PERFORMANCE OF THE YEAR Award in 2008. My honest opinion about Apache RTR 160 is that it’s good for light sports as well as daily use. What is your opinion about Apache RTR 160? Comment your opinion!

THANK YOU
