Intro

India gets new top-spec versions of the TVS Apache RTR 160 4V and RTR 200 4V, adding a Class-D projector headlamp, 5-inch TFT with SmartXonnect, and traction control – features that take the popular streetfighters upmarket where it matters for everyday riders. Prices start at Rs 1.47 lakh for the 160 4V and Rs 1.59 lakh for the 200 4V (ex-showroom, Delhi).

Projector headlamp, TFT and more

Both motorcycles now use a Class‑D projector with signature LED DRLs for wider, brighter illumination, boosting night-time assurance over the previous LED setup. The cockpit adds a full‑colour 5‑inch TFT with Bluetooth, on-screen navigation, and Voice Assist via TVS SmartXonnect for clearer alerts and cleaner turn‑by‑turn prompts.

• For added safety, both bikes get a new traction control system, while the RTR 160 4V top variant also gains an assist-and-slipper clutch for smoother downshifts and better control.
• New colours too: Racing Red, Marine Blue and Matte Black for the 160 4V; Matte Black and Granite Grey for the 200 4V.

Why it matters for buyers

These updates bring premium features from bigger bikes into the 160–200 cc mainstream, with the TFT and traction control addressing real-world commuting and weekend ride needs.
