Q. How can i differentiate by looking Apache RTR 160 2020 vs 2021?
  • Headlight DRLs are different
  • The TVS Apache RTR 160 4V BS6 wears an aggressive streetfighter look with clean lines all over. The significant design change on the new BS6 bike is the angular all-LED headlight with fang-like LED DRLs, complementing the muscular fuel tank extensions.

The large grey panel keeps the midsection interesting, while the rear is dominated by a chunky tyre hugger and a sporty twin-barrel exhaust.
