TVS has launched updated versions of the two-valve Apache RTR 160 and RTR 180. The 2022 Apache RTR 160 is priced between ₹1,17,790 and ₹1,24,590, while the new RTR 180 comes in a single variant that costs ₹1,30,590 (all prices ex-showroom, Delhi).
Both models see improvements to their power-to-weight ratios, courtesy a slight bump in power figures, as well as minor weight reductions. The RTR 160 now produces 16.04hp at 8,750rpm, which is up from 15.53hp at 8,400rpm. Peak torque, though, has reduced slightly — from 13.9Nm at 7,000rpm to 13.85Nm at 7,000rpm. On the RTR 180, peak power is up from 16.79hp at 8,500rpm to 17.02hp at 8,500rpm, and torque has been retained at 15.50Nm at 7,000rpm.
TVS says it has managed to shave 2kg and 1kg off the RTR 160 and RTR 180 respectively, so the kerb weights for the two models now stand at 137kg (RTR 160 Drum), 138kg (RTR 160 Disc) and 140kg (RTR 180).
