Common questions

What is the price of an Apache RTR 160 block piston kit?

RTR 160 2V kits start at Rs. 2,850 and go up to Rs. 3,980. The RTR 160 4V BS4 kit is Rs. 3,650. RTR 180, RTR 200 and BS6 kits are priced separately above.

How do I know if my RTR 160 is 2V or 4V?

Check the model name on your RC and the badge on the bike. The 4V came in 2018. If your RC says BS-VI, use a BS6 section.

Does a 2V kit fit the RTR 160 4V?

No. TVS lists different block kits for the 2V and the 4V RTR 160. Pick the section for your engine.

Is the RTR 160 kit the same as the RTR 180 kit?

No. TVS's catalogue lists a 62.5 mm piston for the RTR 180 against 62 mm for the RTR 160, and a different block kit.

Will a BS4 kit fit my BS6 Apache?

TVS lists separate BS6 block kits for the RTR 160 4V and RTR 200 4V. The BS6 kits show above once they are listed.

Is a bore kit the same as a block piston kit?

Yes. Bore kit, block piston kit, cylinder kit and piston cylinder kit all mean the cylinder block with its piston, rings, pin and circlips.

Does the kit include the cylinder head?

No. The kit is the cylinder block with its piston set. The cylinder head is a separate part.

Are these original TVS kits?

Only the kits marked TVS Original are sold as TVS's own part. DEXO and GOETZE kits are aftermarket and not TVS-branded.

Can I return it if it does not fit?

Yes, within 10 days of delivery.

Is cash on delivery available?

Yes, for most pincodes.
