The big change is electronic fuel injection. The older RTR had a carburetted engine, while the RTR FI will have electronic fuel injection, with all its attendant benefits. Better power delivery, slightly better fuel efficiency Pricing is a bit if a disappointment – Rs 7000 more than the carburetted RTR 160. The displacement is 159.7cc from a fuel injected single cylinder motor.The Apache RTR FI produces 15.76 bhp at 8500 RPM, good enough for a top speed of 120 kmph. That is some 0.5 bhp more than the older RTR. Maximum torque is 13.1Nm at 6500rpm.

There is an optional rear disk brake available now for better stopping power.That, and the slightly different graphics and the engine cowl below are the only visual differences. The Apache RTR FI has an innovative digital dash though can be used to keep track of your 0-60 kmph timings as well as top speeds achieved.
