TVS Apache RTR 160 2V, as sold in Nepal, is a sporty 160cc commuter motorcycle that blends aggressive Apache styling with practical everyday usability, now updated in the “Refresh” top variant with LED lighting and connectivity-focused tech. Positioned around the three-lakh mark, it targets buyers who want a more engaging alternative to standard 150–160cc commuters without stepping up to premium performance bikes.
Editorial overview compiled from official specs and Nepali/Indian auto sources · as of 28 Jul 2026.
In its latest Refresh form, the Apache RTR 160 2V brings sharper race-inspired graphics and a more modern front end, giving it a distinctly sporty presence on Nepali roads compared with typical 150–160cc commuters. The top Refresh variant adds the new LED headlamp and LED tail-lamp, which not only update the look but also help visibility for early-morning or late-evening rides common in city and highway use. Signature Apache cues such as the sculpted fuel tank, compact tail section and wide 120-section rear tyre give it a purposeful stance that appeals to younger riders and car owners looking at a motorcycle as a fun second vehicle. Color options on the current Refresh version lean towards bold shades like Matte Blue and Gloss Black, which suit its performance-oriented image in Nepal.
The RTR 160 2V in Nepal uses a 159.7cc, single-cylinder, 2-valve, air-cooled engine that TVS has tuned for a balance of usable city torque and adequate highway performance for routes such as Kathmandu–Hetauda or Pokhara–nearby hill towns. Output figures around 14 PS of power and 13 Nm of torque in carbureted form place it in the same performance band as mainstream rivals like the Bajaj Pulsar 150, Pulsar NS160, Suzuki Gixxer 155, Yamaha FZS-FI and TVS’s own Apache RTR 160 4V. The top Refresh variant in Nepal aligns closely with the BS6 RTR 160 2V sold in India, which uses Race Tuned Fuel Injection and offers multiple ride modes; this setup is oriented more towards responsive throttle and consistent fuelling, which should help on Nepal’s variable fuel quality and steep gradients. With a five-speed gearbox and gearing aimed at everyday usability rather than outright top speed, buyers can realistically expect brisk urban acceleration and comfortable cruising at typical Nepali highway speeds, rather than high-speed touring.

“The motorcycle I bought, the RTR 160 2V TVS, is a 2022 model. It works well for daily displacement and occasionally can deal with long tours. With incredible 52 km/l fuel efficiency and a smooth and strong engine, it is easy to manoeuvre on the road.”
