The addition of traction control gives the motorcycle an additional rider-assistance feature designed to help manage rear-wheel slip in certain riding conditions. Dual-channel ABS provides braking assistance at both wheels, adding another layer of rider support compared with single-channel systems.
The updated Apache RTR 160 is available in four colour options:
- Matte Black with Red alloy wheels
- Pearl White with Red alloy wheels
- Arctic Teal
- Granite Grey
With these additions, the TVS Apache RTR 160 offers a broader combination of safety equipment and everyday features while retaining its position within the Apache RTR family.
Apache RTR 160 4V Gets TFT Display and Google Map Mirroring
The Apache RTR 160 4V receives a more technology-focused update. The motorcycle now gets a TFT display with Google Map Mirroring, allowing compatible navigation information to be displayed through the motorcycle’s instrument interface.
The model also gains a Panic Brake Alert function, which is designed to provide an additional warning during hard braking situations. Another practical addition is a Type-C charging port, allowing riders to charge compatible electronic devices while on the move.
The updated Apache RTR 160 4V is priced from Rs 1,41,440 and is available in four colour options:

The technology package also adds greater convenience for riders, while the wider TVS Apache RTR 160 range now offers different combinations of safety and connectivity features.
Apache RTR 200 4V Adds Adjustable USD Front Forks
The Apache RTR 200 4V sits above the RTR 160 models in the updated range and receives several of the same technology features, along with an additional suspension upgrade.
Priced from Rs 1,49,990, the top-spec RTR 200 4V now features front adjustable upside-down forks. Adjustable front suspension gives riders the ability to alter the setup according to riding requirements, potentially allowing greater control over the motorcycle’s handling characteristics.
The RTR 200 4V also receives the TFT display, Google Map Mirroring, Panic Brake Alert and Type-C charging port introduced as part of the latest update. These additions complement the features available on the TVS Apache RTR 160 and its higher-specification siblings.

With the addition of adjustable upside-down forks, the RTR 200 4V combines rider-control hardware with the latest connectivity and convenience features introduced across the updated Apache range.
Apache RR 310 and RTR 310 Get Black Diamond Editions
Alongside the RTR 160-series updates, TVS has introduced special Black Diamond Editions of its flagship Apache RR 310 and Apache RTR 310.
Both motorcycles receive an all-black finish and new livery, giving the special editions a distinct visual identity compared with the standard versions.
The Black Diamond Edition of the Apache RR 310 is priced at Rs 2,87,790, while the Apache RTR 310 Black Diamond Edition costs Rs 2,48,990.
The special editions also feature a quickshifter, adding another performance-oriented feature to the motorcycles. A quickshifter allows riders to change gears with reduced reliance on the conventional clutch operation during suitable riding conditions.
Keyless Ride Technology Extended to Apache RR 310
Another important update concerns keyless technology. TVS has extended its keyless ride technology, which was already available on the RTR 310, to the Apache RR 310 as part of the latest update.
The technology adds convenience by reducing the need for conventional key operation during everyday use. Its introduction on the RR 310 brings the motorcycle closer to the equipment level already available on the RTR 310.
The move also highlights TVS’ wider focus on integrating technology and convenience features across its premium motorcycle range.
TVS Ronin Gets New Base+ Variant
The festive-season update is not limited to the Apache family. TVS has also introduced a new Base+ variant of the Ronin.
The new variant comes with dual-channel ABS and is priced from Rs 1,42,490. The addition of dual-channel ABS expands the availability of the braking safety system within the Ronin lineup and gives buyers another option between the existing variants.
The Ronin continues to occupy a different position within TVS’ motorcycle portfolio, with a design and riding character distinct from the sportier Apache RTR family.
Ronin Mid and Top Variants Receive Technology Upgrades
TVS has also updated the Mid and Top variants of the Ronin.
Both variants now receive a combination of technology and convenience upgrades, including a connected instrument cluster, Traction Control System, Type-C charging port and premium seat.
The updated Ronin Mid is priced from Rs 1,51,540, while the Ronin Top is priced from Rs 1,63,640.
The connected cluster adds another layer of digital functionality to the motorcycle, while the Type-C charging port provides a practical feature for riders who use smartphones and other compatible devices during travel.

Focus on Safety and Rider Assistance
A major theme across the latest TVS updates is the expansion of rider-assistance technology. The TVS Apache RTR 160 receives dual-channel ABS and traction control, adding more safety-focused equipment to the motorcycle.
The Apache RTR 160 4V and RTR 200 4V add features such as Panic Brake Alert, while the RTR 200 4V additionally gets adjustable upside-down front forks. These upgrades give the TVS Apache RTR 160 family a broader range of rider-assistance and control-focused features.
On the Ronin, TVS has introduced dual-channel ABS on the Base+ variant and traction control on the updated Mid and Top variants. The TVS Apache RTR 160 continues to form an important part of the company’s updated premium motorcycle range.
These additions show how electronic rider-assistance systems that were previously concentrated on higher-end motorcycles are increasingly being offered across a wider range of models, including the TVS Apache RTR 160.
Connectivity and Everyday Convenience Features
Connectivity is another major component of the latest update. The TVS Apache RTR 160 4V and RTR 200 4V now feature TFT displays with Google Map Mirroring, designed to make navigation information more accessible while riding.
The connected cluster on the updated Ronin variants similarly adds digital functionality. The introduction of Type-C charging ports across the updated models addresses a practical requirement for riders who rely on smartphones and other electronic devices.

What TVS Said About the Updates
Commenting on the latest additions, Vimal Sumbly, Head of Business – Premium, TVS Motor Company, said the company was strengthening its premium motorcycle portfolio during the festive season through enhancements intended to improve the ownership experience.
Sumbly also said TVS remained focused on developing differentiated brands and creating experiences aimed at delivering greater value and excitement to customers.
According to the company, the Apache brand has more than 7 million riders across 90 countries, underlining the international scale of the motorcycle family.
Availability Across India
The updated Apache RTR and TVS Ronin lineups, including the TVS Apache RTR 160, are available at TVS dealerships across India from Thursday, according to the company. Customers can visit authorised dealerships to check the latest variants, colour options and equipment.
The availability of multiple variants means customers can select motorcycles based on their preferred combination of safety equipment, connectivity features, performance-oriented hardware and price. The TVS Apache RTR 160 gives buyers an option focused on safety and everyday riding requirements.
However, prices and equipment can differ depending on the specific variant selected. Buyers should therefore confirm the exact specifications and on-road pricing of the TVS Apache RTR 160 with an authorised TVS dealership before purchasing.
TVS Expands Equipment Across Its Premium Motorcycle Portfolio
The latest festive-season update represents a broad equipment expansion across TVS’ motorcycle portfolio in India. Instead of introducing a single new motorcycle, the company has updated several existing models with additional safety, connectivity and rider-focused features.
The TVS Apache RTR 160 now gets a dual-channel ABS and traction control-equipped variant, while the RTR 160 4V gains a TFT display, Google Map Mirroring, Panic Brake Alert and Type-C charging. The RTR 200 4V builds on that package with adjustable upside-down front forks.
The updated TVS Apache RTR 160 range gives buyers access to additional safety and convenience features while maintaining different equipment levels across the Apache family. This allows customers to consider the model based on their preferred features and budget.
At the premium end, the Apache RR 310 and RTR 310 Black Diamond Editions add an all-black design, new livery and quickshifter, with keyless ride technology now also available on the RR 310. These updates complement the changes introduced to the TVS Apache RTR 160 lineup.
The TVS Ronin has simultaneously received a new Base+ variant with dual-channel ABS, while its Mid and Top variants gain connected technology, traction control, Type-C charging and a premium seat. The broader update also places the TVS Apache RTR 160 alongside other TVS motorcycles receiving new equipment for the festive season.
With these updates, TVS has broadened the availability of safety, connectivity and convenience features across several motorcycles while maintaining different price points for buyers in the Indian market. The TVS Apache RTR 160 remains an important part of this updated portfolio, offering buyers a combination of rider-assistance technology and everyday practicality.
