I own the 1st version of bs6 from 2020. Using it for daily ride, long ride etc. Basically for everything.
Pros :
1. Very good mileage (for me it's 50+). Well for this you have to do the servicing in evening 3 months.
2. Seating posture is really good.
3. Looks is ok.
4. It's really fun to ride and pick up is good.
5. Less pricey compare to another bike in this segment.
Cons:
1. Front brake is not good at all.
2. Built quality is bad.
3. Service centres are not providing good service.
4. Chain has to be lubricated very frequently.
Otherwise vibration will be there. Which is annoying.

Tips for TVS Apache RTR 160 4V

Keep chain lube handy.

A lot of problems come with day-by-day riding. yearly I spend over 30K for service and parts changing. am using it only for office-to-home rides only not a race mode. problems I faced year by year.
1st year -Gear shifting lever, Self not working, Handlebar Vibration
2nd year -Battery Failure, Headlight bulb not working, Engine camshaft rod broke.
3rd year - Cone set problem, Clutch cable issue, Digital meter software issue.
4th year -software issue comes again.
Finally, my suggestion is very very worst bikes.. please don't buy It.

I love this bike so much this bike is my heart. This bike is a daily commute bike and can be used for long distances and overall this bike is a smooth king mileage 40km and 45km are enough for this 160cc bike. Bluetooth and modes are very good in modes option can save petrol and get better mileage and single-channel abs is good enough for 160cc but dual-channel abs and liquid cool system option would be better for youngsters like me I expect these features by the end of this year. I am going to buy this bike for diwali 2023 ( special edition ) and thanks to tvs apache and bikewale and thanks to those who read the comment...

Buying Experience was very good
And till the first service, the bike's power was great. But after the first service performance of the bike was reduced
I think the old Bs4 Apache have a better headlight than the new bs6 shock bullpup exhaust on the new bs6 RM is great, especially under tunnels. The quality of the tank could have been better when we use it for home purposes the tank is not steady to carry weight due to the plastic build. Initial torque and power are great but the top end has vibration on the foot peg & handlebar. Service and maintenance are affordable as it costs around 1k to 1.5k per free service. Overall good for city or commuter riding and lacks power for long-distance rides.

It was an easy-to-buy bike. Got the delivery on the very same day we wanted. The riding experience is smooth all through but at some steep dipping potholes the suspension feels a bit stiff and gives quite a jerk, on the performance area the bike has no issues, the pulls of the engine in low rpm-high gear are very easy and the engine does not feel to stutter or lack the power, front brakes are just perfect but the rear ones do lack some of the bites, road presence of bike is also too good and the exhaust is a head turner at high speeds. Servicing and maintenance are not to worry about but the top end requires more care as it has more features.
Overall
Pros -
1. Good engine
2. Enjoyable and easy to ride
3. Looks and sounds good
Cons -
1. Rear brakes lacks the bite
2. Some parts could have better quality.

Good looks with a budgeted price. Good for regular traveling and did not need too many heights to use buying experience-not good.
Riding experience-good.
Details about looks, and performance- I think best for me.
Servicing and maintenance- are not expensive.
Pros-every part is designed is like a sports bike and the front look is not similar to all bikes.

Amazing bike, super pick up and it has glide-through technology which is amazing, you can relax your hand with this technology and even in traffic it won't stop, easy maneuvering, stylish bike, I bet u can't get better at this segment, and service cost is ok. Cons I would say if u have a short height u will feel a little difficulty while stopping and it has a little more room space while parking in the town area, turning radius will be more but that is where you will get the feeling when you ride overall good to go bike with affordable cost.

I bought this bike on 26th August 2019. I like this bike... My apache was my favorite dear bike. I'm using this in Chennai now. It is good for city rides as well as highways. I love this one .. Don't miss this bike it is a real beast and a daily commuter. The buying experience was good. Riding was excellent. The power was very good and a punchy engine... Looks and performance vice there is a high level of satisfaction.. And services were good with the proper maintenance. Pros were its peppy engine and city ride versatility. A disadvantage was it's mileage in the city and also the back tyre lack of absorption. And lack of different modes.
