The battle between TVS and Yamaha is getting real. Just a few weeks back, TVS NTorq was declared the highest-selling premium scooter in Nepal. Yamaha, on the other hand, is the first to bring FI into the scooter industry!
Now, the battle is for the crown to become the lord of the streets! TVS comes with the all-new TVS Apache 160 4V and faces Yamaha’s FZS FI V3. Will the new TVS force beat the Yamaha domination?
Let’s have a look at the specs, features, and price in Nepal for both these bikes.

If we look at the specs, both the bikes have competing characters. The TVS Apache 160 gives a power of 16.02 PS @ 8250 RPM and torque of 14.12 Nm @ 7250 RPM.
Likewise, Yamaha FZS FI V3 gives a power of 12.4 PS @ 7250 RPM and torque of 13.6 Nm @ 5500 RPM.
160 Apache gets the benefit of higher engine displacement and better ground clearance.
Feature Comparison
The all-new Apache 160 has all LED lights. Sadly, Yamaha FZS FI comes with a bulb tail light. This is not a big dealbreaker.
FZS FI V3 gets 13 liters of fuel tank capacity. Apache 160 gets 12 liters only.
A shorter rider will ride the FZS FI V3 much easily. Its seat height is 10mm shorter than Apache 160.
Even though the FZS FI V3 is the latest update to the FZ 150, it still feels a bit outdated when you compare the features to the all-new feature-full Apache 160! The split seats, low fuel warning lamps, and low battery indicators are some of the new features missing on the FZ bloodline.
TVS apache 160 4v vs Yamaha FZS FI V3 : Price Comparison
The Apache 160 4V price in Nepal is Rs 3,05,900. The price of Yamaha FZS FI V3 in Nepal is Rs 3,23,900.
