Apache RTR EFI is powered by a 159.7cc engine which develops maximum power of 15.2bhp at 8500 rpm and a peak torque of 13.1Nm at 6000 rpm. The engine’s stroke was cut down to 52.9 mm and then the bore grew to 62 mm. Sadly, notchy and much complained Apache gearbox has been retained. The new engine is not just an overbore of the Apache’s 150cc engine. Wheelbase is increased to 1300mm from the current 1260mm to accommodate 40 mm longer rectangular swingarm. This is to increase the stability of the bike.

Apart from the Digital Speedometer and the Petal shaped disc brakes which are "new" additions on the RTR Apache 160, there isn't much change in the looks compared to the Apache 150. Its rear is completely new with LED tail lamps, re-styled silencer and CBZ X-treme type split grab rail. Apache RTR 160 is available in blue and yellow colour.

It comes with digital dash - LCD speedo, two trip meters, clock, odometer, fuel gauge and an analog tachometer. Also has useful features like service and battery indicator. Another useful feature is the clip on handlebar for various positions. Another useful feature is the clip on handlebar for various positions.

The Apache RTR 160 "Fi" comes with digital dash - LCD speedo, two trip meters, clock, odometer, fuel gauge and an analog tachometer. Also has useful features like service and battery indicator.

Recently TVS has upgraded Apache with electronic fuel injection(EFI) and becomes Apache RTR 160 Fi. The EFI technology has enabled TVS to boost peak power of this bike.
