The TVS Apache RTR 160 4V has become one of the most popular bikes in the current motorcycle market in Bangladesh. Offering best in class features and performance, similar to that of more premium models, the bike became an instant hit when it was launched in the country nearly four years ago. 
The RTR 160 4V has always been a capable and easy bike to ride fast. The bike uses a conventional telescopic fork and monoshock that offer a plush ride. This setup is also quite adept at going around corners very well, in a manner that feels intuitive. With the 2021 model, TVS also managed to shave off two kgs. While it is not a difference you will immediately notice, it does play a part.
The only downside to the comfort is the ergonomics. The Apache has a predominantly relaxed riding position, but the foot pegs are a little rear-set and sit high up. It is not something that will bother you over short distances, but if you are over 5ft 10in, this does feel a little cramped over longer stints.
The Apache RTR 160 4V is one of TVS’ most popular motorcycles, and there is good reason to see why. It offers impressive performance, everyday practicality, and with prices starting at ₹1.08 lakh, it is also great value for money.
Despite being part of a heavily competitive segment, the RTR 160 4V remains one of the top contenders. Is it at the very top though? That is a question we hope to answer soon.
