Now in 2025, TVS has launched its 20th Anniversary Special Edition. This bike is a limited edition and some special features and new elements have been added to it.
Design and Styling
TVS Apache RTR 160 2V features a stylish front design. It has an LED headlight setup, while the indicators are still halogen. The most special thing is its dual-tone alloy wheels which come in black and champagne gold finish. Red-painted disc calipers give the bike a more sporty look. The combination of black, red and gold on its tank makes it different from the regular Apache.
