TVS Motor Company Unveils Enhanced 2026 Apache RTR 160 4V Motorcycle
TVS Motor Company has officially launched the updated 2026 Apache RTR 160 4V, introducing a series of feature upgrades across its variants. This refresh aims to bolster the motorcycle's appeal in the competitive performance segment, offering riders enhanced technology and design elements without altering the core mechanical specifications.
Key Feature Upgrades Across the Range
One of the most significant updates is the introduction of a Class-D projector headlamp with LED daytime running lights (DRLs), now available as standard equipment. This is complemented by a full LED lighting setup, improving visibility and giving the motorcycle a more modern aesthetic. Additionally, all variants now come equipped with an assist and slipper clutch as standard fitment, which enhances riding comfort and control, particularly during aggressive downshifts.
Variant Breakdown and Pricing Details
The 2026 Apache RTR 160 4V is offered in three distinct variants, catering to different rider preferences and budgets:
- Single-Channel ABS Variant: Priced at Rs 1.25 lakh, this entry-level model features telescopic front forks and a digital LCD instrument cluster, providing essential functionality for everyday use.
- Dual-Channel ABS Variant: Available at Rs 1.31 lakh, this mid-range option upgrades to USD (upside-down) forks and includes adjustable levers, while retaining the LCD display for improved handling and customization.
- USD with TFT Variant: The top-tier model, priced at Rs 1.37 lakh, boasts a 5-inch TFT display integrated with TVS SmartXonnect features, along with traction control, offering advanced connectivity and safety for tech-savvy riders.
Engine Specifications Remain Unchanged
Despite the feature enhancements, the motorcycle retains its familiar mechanical underpinnings.
