    2025 TVS Apache RTR 160 4V Launch Price Rs 1.4L – USD Forks, Bullpup Exhaust

    by

    2025 TVS Apache RTR 160 4VTVS has regularly updated Apache160 4V to keep consumer interest alive and fend off rivals from Hero, Honda and Bajaj
    After introducing limited edition Apache 165 RP in the past, TVS Motor has launched a new track-oriented version of Apache RTR 160 4V. Some of the key updates are USD telescopic front forks and stubbier Bullpup exhaust that compliments the bike’s sporty appeal. New variant of Apache RTR 160 4V is better equipped to take on rivals like Hero Xtreme 160R, Honda Hornet 2.0 and recently updated Pulsar N160 and Pulsar NS160.
    Even in its current form, TVS Apache RTR 160 4V is probably the most feature-rich bike in its segment. It has a comprehensive equipment list and power and torque output is best in class. New variant of Apache 160 makes ride dynamics and overall experience even better for enthusiasts.
    2025 TVS Apache RTR 160 4V
    The main additions are in the form of USD telescopic front forks and a stubbier exhaust than before. The improved suspension should ensure sharper handling and the new Bullpup exhaust should unlock bassier aural note. Apart from these, the riding modes (Sport, Urban and Rain) further increase the appeal of 2025 TVS Apache RTR 160 4V.
    This top-spec variant has been priced at Rs 1.4 lakh (Ex-sh) and is offered in three colours – Granite Grey, Matte Black, and Pearl White. Gold shade on these 37mm USD front forks and Red alloy wheels add visual flair. Much of the design and styling is the same as earlier. Sharp body panelling with grooves enhances the bike’s aerodynamics, which comes in handy in a track environment and while traversing the highways at fast speeds.

    Some key features include an aggressive headlamp design, funky LED DRLs, aerodynamic claw mirrors, a sculpted fuel tank, a sharp engine cowl with sporty graphics, split grab rail and a single-piece seat. Colour options include Matte Black, Knight Black, Metallic Blue and Racing Red. The bike has a fully digital instrument console with a speedometer, tachometer and other info items such as gear indicator, top speed recorder, lap timer and 0-60 km/h timer.
    Segment-first features available with the bike include ride modes of Sport, Urban and Rain. These can be easily accessed with just a press of a button. Ride modes allow users better control over varying ride conditions. Sport mode is apparently the most thrilling, as the bike’s full power and torque are unleashed in this mode. Urban mode is for fast acceleration and deceleration, which is needed for negotiating busy city streets. Rain mode achieves an optimal balance of performance and safety.
    TVS Apache RTR 4V specs, performance
    Powering TVS Apache 160 4V is a 159.7cc motor that generates 17.55 PS of max power and 14.73 Nm of peak torque in Sport mode. In Rain and Urban mode, power and torque output is 15.64 PS and 14.14 Nm. Engine is mated to a 5-speed gearbox. At the heart of the engine is Race Tuned Fuel Injection (RT-FI) system that offers a range of benefits such as enhanced power delivery, higher mileage, long engine life, reduced emissions and sustained performance across varying ride conditions.
    Other key features of the bike are the adjustable clutch and brake levers, as well as the Glide Through Technology (GTT), which is specially designed for urban environments. With GTT, the bike can move forward with just a slow release of a clutch lever without engaging the throttle. This first-in-segment feature is a great help when it comes to negotiating heavy traffic.

      TVS Apache RTX 310 ADV Leaked – Himalayan 450 Rival Launch In 2025?

      by

      TVS Apache RTX 310 RenderComing from TVS, Apache RTX 310 ADV will have an overload of features, gizmos, technology and an extensive electronic rider aids
      One of India’s leading 2W and 3W vehicle manufacturers, TVS Motor, is expanding its portfolio to include an ADV offering. The company has never launched an ADV yet, and will reportedly positioned on TVS-BMW’s 310 platform. Recent developments show that this motorcycle is in its final testing phase and could see a launch in 2025.
      TVS Apache RTX 310 ADV
      The company has an extensive lineup of premium bikes spread across Apache and Ronin brands. TVS has showcased a Scrambler version of Ronin, called Ronin SCR and might have launch intentions with this product as the design was patented too. ADVs like Royal Enfield Himalayan and KTM 390 Adventure are currently popular.
      TVS Apache RTX 310 ADV Leaked
      New developments from TVS camp suggest that the company is eyeing for a 310 platform-based ADV motorcycle. A recent report suggests that a 300cc ADV motorcycle has been spied testing and has reached final stages of testing with a production model reportedly set to launch in mid-2025.
      The report also attached a snippet of what looks like an ADV motorcycle from TVS. This could be taken from one of TVS’ internal presentations. Looking at the silhouette, one can deduce that TVS is going for a proper adventure tourer with a semi-fairing and a tall windscreen to protect riders from wind blasts.
      TVS Apache RTX Name Trademarked
      What can we expect?
      These developments call for speculations as to what we can expect from this upcoming motorcycle. For starters, we think TVS might position this under the Apache brand and utilise the already trademarked “Apache RTX” name. Going by company’s strategies, RR is a supersport, RTR is a street fighter and RTX could be an adventure tourer.
      Secondly, we can speculate what TVS might offer with this bike in terms of components. The leaked image suggests there may be 21-inch front and 18-inch rear wire-spoke wheels with tubeless tyres, fully adjustable suspension (compression and rebound front, rebound and preload rear) and disc brakes at both ends with switchable dual-channel ABS.
      TVS Apache RTX 310 ADV Render
      Where features are concerned, TVS is highly likely to jam-pack this motorcycle with electronics and features. We can expect a sophisticated IMU with cruise control, cornering control, traction control, ABS modes among others. We can see ventilated seats for both rider and pillion along with a TFT cluster with a plethora of features including music control and navigation.
      Powertrains-wise, the same 310cc reverse inclined single-cylinder liquid-cooled DOHC 4V unit might power the upcoming TVS Apache RTX 310 ADV. The 450cc twin-cylinder unit recently debuted on BMW F 450 GS Concept is highly unlikely. Same performance metrics as recently launched Apache RR 310, 37.5 bhp and 29 Nm, mated to a 6-speed gearbox, slipper clutch and bi-directional quick-shifter are possible.

      2024 TVS Apache RR 310 First Ride Review – SuperSport Feel For The Masses!

      by

      2024 TVS Apache RR 310 First Ride ReviewWhen compared to its immediate rivals like KTM RC390, 2024 TVS Apache RR 310 sets itself apart with a plethora of track-focused features
      TVS and Racing often go hand in hand. The company has a rich racing heritage and is among the few 2W manufacturers in India to incorporate their racing pedigree into their mainstream motorcycles. TVS Apache RR 310 did it the best but was growing longer in its tooth, when compared to the recently launched Apache RTR 310.
      When we say longer in the tooth, we mean in terms of technology and not design. Apache RR 310 has always been a handsome machine to look at. TVS has updated Apache RR 310 with a host of new updates to make it even more track-worthy. That’s exactly what TVS organised as part of the media ride event. We drove the new Apache RR 310 at CoASTT High Performance Centre in Coimbatore and here’s what we think about this new motorcycle.
      [embedded content]
      2024 TVS Apache RR 310 – First Ride Review
      Starting with prices, base model of 2024 TVS Apache RR 310 starts from Rs 2.75 lakh (Ex-sh). This variant loses out on a quick-shifter and if it is a priority, prospective customers can choose a one-above-base variant priced at Rs 2.92 lakh (Ex-sh). If you choose Bomber Grey, price jumps to Rs 2.97 lakh (Ex-sh) and buyers can also opt for Race Replica colourway for an additional Rs 7,000 (Ex-sh) with a personalised racing number, which is a nice touch.
      On top of these, we get two BTO packages with the new TVS Apache RR 310. These are called Dynamic Kit priced at Rs 18,000 and Dynamic Pro Kit priced at Rs 16,000. Dynamic Kit packs adjustable suspension (front and rear), TPMS and brass-coated chain. Dynamic Pro Kit is a suite of electronic rider aids bundled as RTDSC (Race Tune Dynamic Stability Control), enabled by a 6D IMU.
      2024 TVS Apache RR 310
      With the new updated Apache RR 310, there are hardly a couple of design changes. TVS has added aerodynamic winglets at the front for 3kg of added downforce, providing stability at higher speeds. The second notable design change is the transparent polycarbonate clutch cover, which is far more appealing to see in person than in the pictures. Its not an open dry clutch like seen on motorcycles like Benelli 1130R, but is a very cool party trick.
      Speaking of changes in the powertrain, TVS mentioned that they have a 10% lighter forged piston along with a host of other small updates focussed to reduce vibrations. Riding the motorcycle around CoASTT at all sorts of speeds, the vibrations were reduced, when compared to its predecessor. This reverse-inclined engine now makes 38 bhp of peak power at 9,800 RPM and 29 Nm of peak torque at 7,900 RPM.
      2024 TVS Apache RR 310 Reverse Inclined Engine With Transparent Clutch Cover
      Updated Apache RR 310 is the most powerful iteration of this engine co-developed by BMW Motorrad ever. Which is an impressive feat considering the 312.2cc displacement. With the new Apache RR 310, TVS also added adjustable levers as well, to appeal to riders of all sizes and preferences. Other than that, other attributes like 6-speed gearbox, slipper clutch, 5-inch TFT instrument cluster, dual-channel ABS, LED lighting are continued.
      Track Performance
      Since the new Apache RR 310 is all about updated mechanicals and electronic rider aids, let’s talk about how the motorcycle felt on a proper race track. The company claims 6.74 seconds to a 100 km/h and a 164 km/h top speed. In reality, the acceleration of Apache RR 310 has been sharpened and yields excellent throttle response and the motorcycle pounces ahead like a predator.
      2024 TVS Apache RR 310 Track Ride
      We can feel the reduced vibrations too and the overall NVH is improved considerably. Attacking the corners feels easy and second nature for Apache RR 310. That’s because of the committed riding position, race-type clip-on handlebars for better agility, proper rear-set footpegs and an extensive aerodynamic fairing with a very good windscreen, now completed with the added winglets for better aero performance.
      Amidst the sweeping section and technical turns, CoASTT also has a couple of straight stretches as well. The motorcycle was stable on the straights at high speeds, despite it being a very windy day in Coimbatore. Apache RR 310 corners like a dream, allowing riders to carry a lot of speed into the bends. Directional changes were very quick, thanks to the leverage these sporty clip-on handlebars provide.
      2024 TVS Apache RR 310 Aero Winglets
      The chassis is meticulously set-up for excellent handling characteristics. Forward set ergonomics allows the rider to load the front to extract more traction. We didn’t mess with the bike’s adjustable suspension as it was set for racing conditions by TVS. Petal brake rotors and ByBre callipers offered great stopping power and we didn’t find inconsistent braking performance even after extensive use on a track.
      Michelin Road 5 tyres on Apache RR 310 also play a major role in contributing to overall handling characteristics. These tyres provided excellent traction and allowed them to tackle corners carrying higher speeds. The bi-directional quick shifter does an excellent job and allows riders to bang on the gears depending on the conditions. The seat has a lot of room to wiggle around and shift positions to attack corners with as much lean as the bike allows.
