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. This makes the 160 4V identical in appearance to its sibling, the TVS Apache RTR 200 4V. The large grey panel keeps the midsection interesting, while the rear is dominated by a chunky tyre hugger and a sporty twin-barrel exhaust.
