            Does the Apache 160 get a Matte Grey finish or Glossy finish?

            And what about the matte blue colour? Was it a limited edition colour or is it still available?

              The Apache 160 gets a matte grey finish. The matte blue colour is still available for sale.

                i would like to change the rear brake drum for my Apache 160. Do i have to change the whole alloy wheel or the drum alone. what would be the cost around it.

                  Yes you will have to change alloy wheels+swing arm
                  And u need to buy master cylinder+rear caliper assy.

                    Matte blue is available both in 160 and 180. I must say the bike looks smashing in that colour.

                            Hello people,
                            I am new here. Just wanted to ask opinion of owners of RTR 160 Matte Blue.
                            I have a shortlist of RTR 160, SZ-RR and RTR 200-ABS; planning to buy around September-ish.

                            Is 160 still a good purchase over other shortlisted models?
                            And wanted to know about vibrations in current series.

                            Thanks in advance.
                            FYI I'm 25years old, 165cm in height, 55kg and 40-70kmph rider.

                              Need Advice on my New RTR 160

                              Hi Guys,

                              I sold my 3 year long ride companion the Discover 135 Blue and bought an Apache RTR 160 matte blue. Coming from the Discover, I'm still getting used to the gear system (one down, all up). Ride will be home until the registration process is done. Can any RTR owners suggest what should I be looking for and what should be taken care of to use the beast for a long time. anything special to this bike?

                                Hi guys,

                                as I previously Posted in the help me choose a bike thread, Bought my bike home last sunday. (I'm from Sri lanka btw), the bike is still parked at home until the number plates arrive. (can take upto 10 days, 5 days gone so far). As I changed from my trustworthy & long time love Discover 135, the new bike has a lot features I like. but first the pics.

                                Up until now, I rode it around 30 km. it was 0.1k.m when I got it from showroom. (surely they reset the digital meter).
                                below are my observations so far:
                                • I felt a little vibration compared to my Discover 135, have to do a long run to office to confirm this, also will get settled as it progresses from the 1st service.
                                • the bike is comfortable - easy to handle.
                                • Fits tall guys, I'm 5' 11", I had difficulty in sitting on my discover when riding long distances, but the seating is comfy on RTR
                                • I put 92 petrol, but herd that it's better to use 95 - any advice?
                                • Love the full digital console, RPM meter is analog & love that.
                                • Love the DRLs.
                                • Engine kill switch is something new but handy to me
                                • get a lot of looks on my Matte blue bike, almost every guy looked at it when i drew it home!!
                                • love the beat.
                                • theres even a signal that blinks when your service is due (how cool is that)


                                what is missing compared to discover
                                • saree guard doesn't have a footrest
                                • sporty seating position needs to be tested on a long journey


                                will update this thread once I start riding. Also something to note here : My dealer said that the petrol injection is limited (not fully opened) untill the engine runs 2500km. first service at 500km, 2nd service at 1500km. so the fuel consumption should be tested once the the petrol is fully opened.
