    A bit of offtopic here but are there any ABS variant of sub 200cc bikes that come with a rear drum brake (without disc; front ABS)?
    Yes, hornet abs std. Model

      I hope that the same remains for the 160 4v drum variant as well. Or they might just discontinue it in 2019 due to the BS-VI and FI rules.

            I hope that most of those vehicles will have ABS. It's almost December and there has been no news of any of them launching with ABS.

              They're working hard to get abs production fast

Lacks the bite of the radial MRF's used on Gixxers though. I didn't test ride the model with the Pirelli's. Just the Carb model with rear drum brake.
                If I am right, 160 4v doesn't get tyre options !! (STOCK TYRES: TVS Remora)
                Seems as good as MRF .

                *It's 200 4V and 310 RR gets lot of options .

                  TVS uses their own patented petal rotor disc Brakes (not bad and its okayish). Even though pulsar uses Bybre ,the one in Apache is better.

                    A bit of offtopic here but are there any ABS variant of sub 200cc bikes that come with a rear drum brake (without disc; front ABS)? Hornet is the only one I can think of. I sincerely hope that the 160 4v is launched with a rear drum and Front ABS combination.
                    Say any abs bike they should do the better capabilities as main job of ABS is to prevent disc lock !
                    * So can't compare Hornet ABS with Apache 160 4v (non-ABS) !!

                      What's the launch date for the RTR 160 4V FI WITH ABS? Any updates from TVS?

                        Stop triple posting dude. It gets annoying. And yes, the 160 4v did get tyre options in some places when it was released. It was marketed on a lot of automobile review/news websites as well.

                          Is there a abs version of the 160 4V that's yet to be launched?

                              Waiting for it. Since the Duke 125 is already here, I think tvs will make the move

                                But D125 is much costlier though not bad...lets see.

                                Mostly all 125cc + bikes will be added with ABS brakes from April 2019 !!!
