The first ride review of TVS Apache RTR 160 4V ABS from Dino’s Vault brought positive feedback to the most desirable Apache of India. The impressive acceleration, along with the level of refinement at 118 kph has made the RTR 160 4V ABS a great option for those who are looking into the entry-level performance segment. The ABS-equipped brakes are brilliant as Dino is seen explaining the braking technique to extract the maximum benefits from the single channel ABS.

Applying 75-80% on the front and 20-25% on the rear brake will still not let your tire get locked and simultaneously, break speeds with great ease. The braking from 62 kph to standstill took just 1.7 seconds while another feature that he praised was the Showa suspension. The motorcycle feels solid at even 80 kph and never let you feel any sort of irritation from the complete chassis, brakes and suspension setup.
