TVS Apache RTR F1 160

Split grab rails

The bull horn grab rails are split and ergonomically designed to aid the pillion rider in holding on tight. The grabs are designed based on input data taken from thousands of palm types and grab holding styles to achieve an optimum blend of design & functionality.

Silencer

Designed with details that add to the sporty flavor of the bike. The silencer has been sound engineered as we understand that a huge part of the apache RTR’s appeal lies the kind of sound it makes.

Rearset foot pegs

The sporty foot pegs are lightweight and contribute to the power to weight ratio of the bike and the design. They are set in a rear set position to make sure ever riding experience is like a track experience.

Racing GT stripe

Whichever angle you look at, the apache RTR 160 spells cocky sophistication, it’s fluid racing stripes, luminous rims and race crouch mirrors epitomize the RTRs racing pedigree.

Forged brake lever

The apache RTR F1 160 employs a brake lever and gear lever set, which apart from delivering great looks is also lighter in construction

Aerodinamics airscoops

The 2008 RTR range comes loaded with aerodynamic air scoops that not only add to the design but also ensure air is directed towards the engine unit to help better cooling efficiency.

Engine fairing

The engine fairing design again illustrates the amount of detailing that has gone into its development. It functions to save the RTR engine from elements and harsh riding condition and also adds to its aero dynamic design.

Alloys

Lightweight stylish alloys designed in a way that doesn’t ass weight beyond what is necessary. Lightweight but extremely tough these alloys weather the toughest of surfaces and reduced weight ensures that you do not loose out feeling the thrill of acceleration every time you twist your wrist.

Technology

Tail lamps

Leading from the rear are the LED tail lamps. LED’s (Light Emitting Diodes) are more powerful and ensure hi visibility in all weather conditions and are also greener as they consume less power from the unit.

Rotor petal disc

Front : Apache RTR 160 was the 1st bike in India to have pioneered rotor petal disk brakes and on any other bike it would have been a compromise with an impressive diameter of 270mm, it aids in razor sharp braking and the shape aids in faster heat dissipation from the disc pad.

Razor- sharp braking is guarantee.

Rear : 1st time seen on a bike in its class; the rotor petal disk brake on the rear wheel adds to the braking capability and performance n the RTR F1 160.

Digital speedo console

Digital speedo console is friendly hip. Add to it the data logging features from our racing bikes. What you get is a speedo unit that gets you as close to the recing experience.

Over square engine

The RTR is the definitive signature of TVS racing chicanery and the ingenuity of its engineers. This revy happy unit is acclaimed and very close to the unit that won the apache RTR 169; pe rformance bike of the year from BS motorino; overdrive&NDTV car&bike awwrds.

Poly shocks

The RTRs poly shocks take on every bump, and every pothole with impunity and bully them into submission. The poly shock comes with a revolutionary technology where the rebound from a shock transmitted from the road surface is dissipated as heat energy feel no matter what the surface.

Clip on handle bars

The handle bars on the RTRs are designed based on insight from racing unlike conventional tubular handle bars. The clips on unit seen on the RTR range consists of a base unit with two distinct handles clamped to the base unit. It presents a sporty riding stance that is aero dynamic and easy to control. The clip ons are adjustable for reach as seen on hi end bikes.
