In a proud moment for TVS Motor Company, all 200 units of the limited-run Apache RTR 165 RP have been sold out in India. To recall, it was launched here last month. The two-wheeler flaunts styling upgrades over the standard Apache RTR 160 4V. It draws power from a 164.9cc, single-cylinder, 4-valve engine that makes 18.9hp of power.
Why does it matter?
The TVS Apache RTR 165 RP signifies 15 years of the Apache moniker.

It flaunts tricolor paintwork, TVS Racing decals, a unique serial number, and a special "15 years of Apache" logo.
It runs on a 19hp, 165cc engine
