Apart from the styling cues, the Apache 160 also borrows the chassis from its bigger brother
Verdict - The Apache 160 4V is the latest addition to the Apache family and is a motorcycle with perfect proportions and details. Though it looks similar to its elder sibling, the motorcycle is brand-new and is definitely a big step-up from the previous Apache 160. The new Apache 160 is a motorcycle you can live with and also have some fun on those weekend rides.

The Apache 160 is fast but not furious like before
What’s Cool
* Design and modern looks
* Refined, vibration-free motor and slick gearbox
* Compliant suspension setup
What’s Not So Cool
* 110-section rubber for the rear drum variant
* No option of ABS
* The rawness of the previous Apache 160 is missing
* Might hamper sales of the Apache 180
