TVS has launched the Apache RTR 160 Race Edition in India. Based on the previous-gen RTR 160, it is available in two variants. The base-spec variant is equipped with a front disc brake only and is priced at Rs 79,715, while the top-spec variant comes with dual disc brakes and costs Rs 82,044 (all prices ex-showroom Delhi), an increment of Rs 1,000 over the standard bike. The RTR 160 Race Edition features cosmetic changes only while its performance characteristics remain unchanged.

Speaking about the looks and design, the special edition RTR 160 gets a white paint job and features red stripes on the fuel tank, the front mudguard and the rear body panel near the grabrail. Also, the fuel tank gets a new 3D ‘running horse’ emblem just like the Apache RR 310. 

Like the regular RTR 160, the Race Edition is also powered by the same 159.7cc, single-cylinder, 4-Stroke, OHC engine generating max power of 15.3PS @ 8500rpm and peak torque of 13Nm @ 6500rpm, mated to a 5-speed gearbox. Suspension setup is again unchanged with telescopic forks at the front and dual shock absorbers at the rear. Braking continues to be handled by a 270mm front disc and a 130mm rear drum in the base variant, while the top-spec variant comes equipped with a 220mm rear disc brake as standard.

The TVS Apache RTR 160 Race Edition will compete against the Suzuki Gixxer (Rs 77,015), the Bajaj Pulsar NS 160 (Rs 81,626) and the Honda X-Blade (Rs 78,500) (all prices ex-showroom Delhi).
