2019 Apache 160 price hike is different for both the variants…
Ahead of the upcoming 1st April 2019 deadline which will limit sales of motorcycle without ABS/CBS, TVS has officially launched the 2019 Apache 160. Apart from sporting ABS it also gets a few cosmetic changes as a part of the yearly refresh program.
2019 Apache 160 Changes
- It gets a single-channel ABS
- New back-lit speedometer with dial-art
- New seats (TVS has not cleared what is new – may be the texture is changed or it is better cushioned).
- New-look bar-end dampeners
Apart from this, the motorcycle also gets slightly revised graphics. There is an ‘ABS’ logo on the mudguard to denote the variant.

For reference the non-ABS versions cost Rs 79,370 and Rs 81,699 (all prices ex-showroom Delhi) respectively. This means that the price hike is Rs 6140 and Rs 6640 respectively between the two variants – a difference of Rs 500 between them! For reference, sibling Apache 160 4V ABS starts at a price tag of Rs 89,785 whereas the new Apache 180 (which now gets a single-channel ABS) has been priced at Rs 90,978
