For anyone eyeing a mid‑power commuter, TVS’s fresh Apache RTR 160 4V offers a tech‑centric upgrade that feels like a new bike without a new engine.
Under the hood, the 159.7‑cc, four‑valve, oil‑cooled unit still churns out 17.3 hp and 14.73 Nm, the same as the current 4V, so performance stays steady while the cockpit gets a makeover.
The new TFT display becomes the hub for navigation, thanks to Google Map mirroring that pulls data straight from your phone—so you can keep your eyes on the road instead of the screen.
Other goodies include a panic‑brake alert that warns you of hard stops, and a USB‑Type‑C port that lets you charge devices on the go. The paint palette now features Arctic Teal with Champagne Gold alloy wheels, Matte Black, Racing Red and Marine Blue.
All of this comes at ₹1.41 lakh ex‑showroom Delhi, a price that keeps the bike in the premium end of the 160cc class, ahead of the Bajaj Pulsar 150 and Hero Glamour 150 in terms of connectivity.
Dealers will roll out the updated 4V on 17 September 2026, so you can expect to see it on the streets of Mumbai, Bengaluru, and Delhi a few weeks later. Keep an eye on how the technology translates to everyday rides and whether competitors follow suit.
