TVS has launched a new, special edition of its TVS Apache RTR 160 4V in India. It sports some cosmetic differences over the standard motorcycle and has a new ‘bullpup’ exhaust.
The special edition TVS Apache RTR 160 4V has been swathed in Pearl White color which covers most of the bodywork. The red color adds to the contrast on the fuel tank, seat and the center portion of the rear wheel. The bike now looks attractive, but the differences from the standard Apache RTR 160 4V are not limited to cosmetic bits only.
This special edition gets a new, thicker looking exhaust muffler which TVS calls the ‘bullpup’ exhaust, which appears to be inspired by a bullpup machine gun. The company says that while the exhaust muffler looks bigger, it is a kilo lighter than the standard bike. This helps in improving the power-to-weight ratio and also enhances the exhaust note. In addition to this, the bike also gets adjustable levers as standard.
As far as the engine is concerned, the special edition bike is no different from the other variants. It is powered by 17.55hp, 14.73Nm, 159.7 cc, air and oil-cooled, single-cylinder engine.
