2023 TVS Apache RTR 160 4V Special Edition gets a new Pearl White body colour accentuated by contrast red touches; equipped with a lighter exhaust system

TVS Motor Company has introduced a new colour scheme for its Special Edition Apache RTR 160 4V in the domestic market. Priced at Rs. 1.30 lakh (ex-showroom, New Delhi), it follows the black coloured Special Edition of the Apache 160 4V launched late last year. This time around, there is a big visual difference as it gains a new Pearl White paint scheme.

Besides minor cosmetic changes, the highly popular motorcycle remains the same in terms of its overall look. The Hosur-based manufacturer has added a new ‘Bullpup’ exhaust system which has resulted in reducing the overall weight by one kilogram. Just like the TVS Apache RTR 160 4V Special Edition wearing black body paint, the new white theme gets sprinkled with contrast red touches.

It can be seen in the middle of the fuel tank, pillion seat and rear alloy wheel in a similar fashion to the other Special Edition. The Bullpup exhaust unit could have been inspired by the Bullpup machine gun as the end can looks larger in size. This should make the exhaust note louder and the reduction in weight, although minor, should improve the power-to-weight ratio.
