TVS boasts that the TVS Apache RTR 165 RP is the most powerful machine in its category in our country. It gets an advanced 164.9 cc single-cylinder, 4-valve engine that is putting out 19.2 PS of power at 10,000 RPM and 14.2 Nm of torque at 8750 RPM.

They have achieved these hi numbers by developing a new cylinder head which has a 35% increase in intake and is fitted with a twin-electrode spark plug. Other changes in this engine consist of 15% bigger valve control by Hi-lift and Hi-duration cams and dual-spring actuators, area wise bore stroke ratio of 1.37 that is allowing a free revving up to the red line and addition of a new dome piston for a higher compression ratio.
