But is there any merit to that fear? We got a chance to figure that out with the 2020 versions of the TVS Apache RTR 160 4V and the Apache RTR 200 4V which have just been updated to comply with BS6 regulations.Specs. With the impending switch to the more stringent BS6 norms looming over the horizon, enthusiasts are getting worried about their favourite performance motorcycles getting watered down come April 2020. The Apache is designed to fight and survive during the day, night, and in adverse weather throughout the world.The times, as they say, are a’changing. It is a quick-reacting, airborne weapon system that can fight close and deep to destroy, disrupt, or delay enemy forces. The Boeing (McDonnell Douglas) (formerly Hughes) AH-64A Apache is the Army's primary attack helicopter.
The work is rather more elaborate. The engine is mated to a 5-speed super-slick gear box that offers a precise and powerful riding experience.It’s not simply a case of retuning the engine and adding a new catalytic converter to meet BS6 norms. Go further with ease with the Apache track system derived from our Ski-doo snowmobile design and attack any terrain all year-long.TVS Apache RTR 160 4V gets a 159.7 cc, 4-valve, oil-cooled engine with patented Race Derived O3C, that churns out max power of 17.63 PS. Made to fit your Can-Am ATV and created to get you anywhere you need to go, no matter the terrain conditions. The Can-Am Apache track system was designed for whatever outdoor activities you like to enjoy.
Riding these two BS6 motorcycles, you’d be hard pressed to tell them apart from their BS4 counterparts. The valve timing has been revised as well and while they might look identical from the outside, the exhaust cans have been completely reworked too.Thankfully, this isn’t the case, at least in terms of feel. Then, the induction system has been thoroughly reworked with a newer intake and filter.
It’s rev-happy motor has got that extra bit of zing over the 160’s, and could even be described as borderline manic. The 200 feels even more like the bike it replaces. If anything, it makes the 160’s motor feel a little livelier than before. To be honest, we don’t think this is concerning in one bit. But there is just a hint of buzz at higher revs. For one the 160 4V feels just as smooth and eager to rev as before.
But it’s effectiveness can only be tested once we get the bike for review. It’s a pretty handsome looking unit. But based on just riding them, you really wouldn’t be able to say that.They’ve got a new “Glide Through Traffic” systemThe most immediately obvious of these features is the new LED headlight on both bikes. Bottom line is that if you VBox’d these two bikes, you might find a slight drop in acceleration figures. That said, it feels like it’s lost a bit of bass in the exhaust note. Certainly still, in my opinion, the best sounding motor in its class.
So essentially the same split cradle chassis, the same suspension units and even the same brakes. These RTRs are running on the same underpinnings as before. If you want to check out SmartXonnect’s features in detail, check out our previous story HERE. It can also keep track of your trip, assist with navigation by giving you directions on the instrument cluster, send you notifications and can also send out a crash alert to your saved contacts in case you have a fall. Although this feature was introduced on the 200 literally a couple of months before the BS6 version came out.Once connected, the app tracks a lot of data and can help you record your lap times as well telemetry like speed, rpm and even lean angle. Firstly, there’s the TVS SmartXonnect system, similar to the one that we first saw on the NTorq, which allows you to pair your mobile phone to the motorcycle using Bluetooth.
But these aspects should be perfectly acceptable on regular roads (as they have been so far), where this bike really shines.The 200 on the other hand has gained 2kg over its BS4 predecessor. And the brakes too still feel quite spongy, especially when riding hard on the track. It still retains the slight softness in its suspension, which is not the most enjoyable when pushing the bike hard into corners on a race track. The 160 feels light on its feet and is very easy to tip into turns. What this means is that there is no change in the handling package.
Aside from that, the 160 does get a couple of new decals on the tank, and the 200 carries over minimal graphics similar to the Race Edition 2.0 (although not the same). There are new mirrors though, which have a slightly new shape and get a faux carbon fibre texture on them. Barring that though, all the panels, the handlebars, the seats, pretty much everything remain unchanged on these two. Basically, all the handling characteristics which made us fall in love with the RTR 200 back in 2016 are still retained.That said, the new LED headlight and the new eyebrow-like LED DRLs, which give the bikes almost a look of surprise on their face, do make the bike look distinct from the front. It is quick to change direction, and even though it’s got a pretty short wheelbase, thanks to the new tyres, it feels absolutely planted when leaned over. It still proves to be heaps of fun on a track, with its stiffer suspension setup that accounts for its razor sharp handling.
2.Performance is moderate on the performance of this bike. But you hardly get 35-40 mileage which could be worst if you are expecting mileage and a daily commuter better don’t buy if not if have to spend a lot only on filling the petrol 2.Riding experience 1.Its good i rate 4/5 3.Details about looks, performance etc.1.Looks : it has a great look which has convinced me to buy this bike. During the sales tvs company claims 60 kmpl is the mileage and average mileage is around 50. Buying experience 1.Its good i rate 2/5.
The Xtreme 160R is the most exciting motorcycle to come out of the stables of Hero MotoCorp in the recent past. Which bike is best, Hero Xtreme 160R or Apache RTR 160 4V?Selecting the right bike would depend on several factors such as your budget preference on the segment, features required, engine options, brand preference, etc. 5.Pros and cons 1.Pros : good performance in terms of engine power 2.Cons : worst mileage hardly 35 kmpl and high maintenance than a general bikes in this segment.Q. Servicing and maintenance.During the sales they don’t mention on the servicing and maintenance part but this bike has to be filled with a special synthetic oil which costs around 700 per filling which is double the cost of general oil. I hardly get 35-40 mileage which is most worst part of this bike.
With the BS6-compliant iteration, TVS has made sure it is still as sprightly, with the '21 update making it the most powerful bike in the 160cc sporty commuter class. On the other hand, The TVS Apache RTR 160 4V has been the benchmark when it comes to 160cc motorcycles. This Xtreme 160R engine generates a power of 15.22 PS 8500 rpm and a torque of 14 Nm 6500 rpm. Hero Xtreme 160R is powered by a 163 cc engine.
Follow the link and select your desired city for dealership.Q. Moreover, we would suggest you to take a test ride before making the final decision. This Apache 160 4V engine generates a power of 17.63 PS 9250 rpm and a torque of 14.73 Nm 7250 rpm.
In the city, the RTR is just as frugal as before, however, it does burn a bit more fuel out on the highway.
