The Dafra Apache that should arrive in the US has different riding modes. Urban mode improves acceleration/deceleration and optimizes ABS for city riding.

Sport mode unleashes the motorcycle’s full power with sharp acceleration. Rain mode gives more power to the ABS brakes and control in wet terrain.

The 2025 Apache RTR 160 should arrive in the US with GTT (Glide Through Technology) for improved low-speed handling.

The motorcycle’s design is all about sporting style, enhanced by very wide wheels and exhaust guards. The digital TFT screen is very large and brings all the necessary information for riding, such as riding modes, speed, and gear level.

The 2025 RTR 160 should reach a maximum speed of 71 mph.
