The updated 2023 TVS Apache RTR 160 4V has been tested by TVS Motor Company, and the test mule is wearing a TN test plate. The recently released Bajaj Pulsar N160 and Hero Xtreme 160R are rivals of the hugely popular naked streetfighter in this market. Over the years, the motorcycle has received regular updates from the brand to bring a new vibe.
Late last year, the Apache RTR 160 4V received significant updates, including a Special Edition, a new LED headlamp assembly, three riding modes (Rain, Urban, and Sport), a gear position indicator on the LCD cluster, Bluetooth connectivity for the radial rear tyre SmartXonnect, etc.

According to reports, the air intake was changed, which might increase the power and torque numbers and improve the rideability overall.

The production model might not include the new exhaust system that the prototype has. Given that the update won’t be significant, minor price changes should be anticipated. Currently, the base variant of the TVS Apache RTR 160 4V costs Rs. 1.22 lakh, and the Special Edition costs Rs. (armstrongpharmacy.com) 1.28 lakh (ex-showroom).
The upcoming RTR 160 4V may opt for a better safety net with a price increase of about Rs. 5,000 and possibly new colour schemes since the Bajaj Pulsar N160 already offers a segment-first dual-channel ABS system.
