The reason for the latest price hike isn't known at the moment but it is assumed that the company is trying to make up for the losses suffered due to the coronavirus lockdown.
The TVS Apache RTR 160 4V is one of the most famous bikes in its segment and it competes against the rivals such as the Bajaj Pulsar 150, Suzuki Gixxer and the Yamaha FZ 16. At the heart of the Apache sits a BS 6 compliant 159.7 cc single-cylinder oil-cooled engine which features 4 valves and race-tuned fuel injection. This powertrain develops 16.02 PS of power at 8,250 rpm and 14.12 Nm of torque at 7,250 rpm. It comes hooked to a 5-speed transmission.
It was updated with Glide Through Traffic (GTT) technology in March. TVS claims that it allows the bikes for a smoother and controlled riding. This is a first-in-class technology and it helps with ‘low-speed urban riding and enables an extremely smooth and controlled ride.’
It is available in three colour choices - Racing Red, Metallic Blue and Knight Black. Its kerb weight measures at 147 kg/149 kg (Drum/Disc).
