TVS Apache is celebrating two decades with limited-run anniversary editions and new top-end trims for the RTR 160 4V and RTR 200 4V in India, bringing tech to one of the country’s most popular performance commuter lineups. Here’s why it matters: the updates add safety, connectivity and a sharper face while keeping prices competitive for riders stepping up from 150–200cc brackets.

What’s new on the RTRs

The new premium variants of the Apache RTR 160 4V and RTR 200 4V get a Class-D projector headlamp with LED DRLs, 5-inch TFT console with TVS SmartXonnect, Bluetooth, navigation and Voice Assist, Traction Control System and assist & slipper clutch for smoother downshifts and added safety. Prices are Rs 1,47,990 for the RTR 160 4V top trim and Rs 1,59,990 for the RTR 200 4V (ex-showroom, Delhi), making them tech-rich options in their segments.

• Engines are unchanged: RTR 160 4V continues with 159.7cc making 17.55 PS and 14.73 Nm, RTR 200 4V with 197.75cc making 20.82 PS and 17.25 Nm, balancing everyday usability with spirited commutes.
• Colour options now include Racing Red, Marine Blue and Matte Black for the RTR 160 4V, while the RTR 200 4V is offered in Matte Black and Granite Grey to complement the refreshed front end.

20th Anniversary Editions explained

To celebrate two decades of the Apache, TVS is rolling out special Anniversary Editions with an exclusive black-and-champagne-gold paint job, “20-year” badges, and stylish dual-tone alloy wheels.

It’s important to note the difference: While these cosmetic touches are a treat for the entire lineup, including the RTR 310 and RR 310, the big-ticket tech upgrades like the new TFT console, projector headlamp, and TCS are exclusively featured on the new top-end RTR 160 4V and RTR 200 4V variants. Select anniversary variants add a first-time USB charging port to the Apache lineup, a practical touch for city commutes.

Pricing and positioning

New top-end RTR 160 4V is priced at Rs 1,47,990 and RTR 200 4V at Rs 1,59,990 (ex-showroom, Delhi), while the broader 160 4V range still has lower variants for value seekers at Rs 1,39,990 for the USD + LCD configuration, so there are laddered entry points. The incremental premiums of around Rs 6,000–8,000 over previous top trims are justified by the TFT, TCS and projector lamp – features that were till now in higher segments.

Buyer takeaway

For riders looking for a feature-rich 160–200cc streetfighter, the updated Apache RTRs bring meaningful updates – TCS, 5-inch TFT and projector headlamp – without upsetting the value equation, while the Anniversary Editions are for Apache loyalists who want a special finish.
