What is the mileage of the TVS Apache RTR 160 2V FI?

ARAI figures are higher, but riders across South Asia report real-world mileage in the mid-30s to mid-40s kmpl range depending on riding style and traffic, and Nepali riders can expect similar numbers rather than the official claim.

What is the mileage of TVS Apache RTR 160 4V BS6 (V4 FI)?

With BS6 FI tuning, riders usually get 35-45 kmpl in mixed city and highway riding, with the higher end reserved for gentle throttle use; in Nepal's hilly traffic, expect something closer to the lower-middle of that range.

What is the price of the TVS Raider 125 CBS in Nepal in 2026?

In Nepal's 2026 price lists, the Raider 125 sits below the Apache series in the 125cc commuter-sport segment, priced roughly in the low-to-mid Rs 2 lakh range ex-showroom, with CBS standard on most trims.

That figure is what owners quoted, not our price. See the verified price for each variant.

Our summary, not a quoteReported by ev-nepal.com

Price, service, resale and roads — here

  • The Apache RTR 160 4V FI BS6 and 4V SE are officially sold in Nepal through TVS Nepal and dealer networks, with ex-showroom prices in the roughly Rs 3.14–3.85 lakh band across variants, and SE/ABS/SmartXonnect models listed around Rs 3.94–3.96 lakh on Nepali portals.
  • Nepali roads with frequent speed breakers and rough patches make riders value the Apache’s ground clearance and suspension; comments highlight it as acceptable but not as plush as pure commuters, so riders adjust speed on rural roads (inferred from sport-bike segments on Nepali auto pages).
  • Service and spare parts for TVS in Nepal are generally available through nationwide showrooms and service centers listed on Nepali bike portals, though some riders still worry about long-term parts availability outside major cities.
  • Resale discussions in Nepal often compare Apache RTR 160 to Honda and Bajaj; some riders expect slightly lower resale for TVS, aligning with broader South Asian sentiment on TVS resale.
  • Parts availability exists but occasionally limited stock at service centers
  • Rear seat comfort and long highway use often raised as issues
  • Mileage in local condition judged to vary between 35-45 kmpl depending variant and riding style

What owners rate

  • powerful performance
  • good features
  • value for money in 160cc segment
  • Strong pickup and performance for a 160cc bike, especially the 4V FI and SE variants, which riders appreciate for quick overtakes on Nepali highways.
  • Sporty design and road presence of the Apache RTR 160 range are frequently praised by younger riders in Nepal.
  • Braking performance with disc and ABS variants is appreciated for safety on Nepali city and highway traffic.
  • TVS pricing in Nepal is seen as competitive versus other 160cc sport bikes, especially for the lower 4V variants.
  • Availability of multiple Apache RTR 160 variants (2V, 4V, FI, SE, ABS) gives buyers choice across budgets in Nepal.

What they complain about

  • high price
  • service cost concerns
  • mileage issues
  • Fuel efficiency of Apache RTR 160 can be lower than expected when ridden hard, with some riders mentioning figures closer to 35–40 kmpl in real-world use (India user reviews, echoed by Nepali commenters).
  • Resale value of TVS Apache series is perceived as weaker than rivals in some discussions, making long-term ownership less attractive for a few buyers.
  • Maintenance and spare parts cost is sometimes described as slightly higher than commuter 125cc bikes, which matters to budget-conscious riders.
  • Lower-end models have vibrations and single-channel ABS which concern riders
  • Higher price points make some variants less value-for-money compared to rivals
