Engine of Apache RTR 160
The 2025 Apache RTR 160 comes with a 159cc air-cooled single-cylinder engine. It makes 16.04 bhp at 8,750 rpm and 13.85 Nm of torque at 7,000 rpm. The engine comes paired to a five-speed gearbox. TVS says this provides an excellent power-to-weight ratio, enabling the bike to produce sprightly performance for city cruising as well as enthusiastic weekend thrashing.
Frame and Suspension
It is mounted on a double-cradle frame and equipped with telescopic front forks for stable control. Twin shock absorbers in the back are used for support on rough roads and bumps. They try to balance comfort with a sporty feel of the ride so that it can be handled more comfortably in city traffic or highway drives.

Riding Modes
One more feature of the Apache RTR 160 is its three riding modes — Sport, Urban, and Rain. The modes alter the performance of the bike depending on the road or weather. No matter the need for top power on a highway or improved grip in rain, you can adapt with a button.
Safety with Dual-Channel ABS
One of the significant advancements is the dual-channel ABS, a welcome safety boost. The braking system improves handling during hard stops or slippery conditions, a confidence builder for new and veteran riders. TVS has also ensured that the Apache complies with the current OBD2B emission regulations, future-proofing it.
