Engineered by TVS for the sport motorcycle segment, the 2016 TVS RTR 165 utilizes a 165 cc (10.1 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke layout. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 63.0 x 52.9 mm (2.5 x 2.1 inches).
On the scales, the RTR 165 measures 137 kg (302 lbs) wet (curb). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 780 mm (30.7 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,330 mm (52.4 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 10-liter (2.6 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints, while factory top speed is listed at 160 km/h (99 mph).
