The 2020 BS6 TVS Apache RTR 160 4V has been recently launched in India at a price tag of INR 99,950 for the drum brake variant and INR 1.03 lakh for the disc brake variant. The BS6 engine of the bike is equipped with Race-Tuned Fuel Injection (RT-Fi) along with Glide Through Traffic (GTT) technology, which is a first-in-segment feature for urban riding.
With this feature, the vehicle starts moving with a slow release of the clutch lever, without using the throttle. It is indeed a convenient feature while riding in heavy traffic. A recent video by Dino’s Vault gives a detailed explanation of how Glide Through Traffic (GTT) technology works.
