    Visually, the TVS Apache RTR 200 4V looks extremely sporty with the lean headlamp cluster with LED daytime running lights, clip-on handlebars, split seats and a tail tidy which get reflectors. The fuel tank gets neatly scalped character lines for a macho look while the additional extension panels on either side come with faux air vents. The mid panels are finished in black along with the engine, while adding some flair to it is the engine cowl. The design also holds significance for the bike maker as the next set of updates for the Apache will feature the same styling. Completing the aesthetic setup are the wavy alloy wheels wrapped in 90/90/R17 up front and 130/70/R17 at the rear and both come from TVS Remora.

    Powering the all-new TVS Apache RTR 200 4V is a 197.75cc single-cylinder, air and oil cooled, 4-valve, SOHC engine tuned to produce 20.23bhp at 8,500 rpm and develop 18.1 Nm of torque at 7,000 rpm. The motor is a derivative of the one found on the outgoing RTR 180 and has a larger bore size of 66 mm with stroke being the same at 57.8 mm. The engine idles at 1400+200 rpm and you can be assured, it will be a fuel efficient unit returning anything around 30-35 km/l.

    Furthermore, the TVS Apache RTR 200 4V has a kerb weight of 140 kg translating into an appreciable power-to-weight ratio. In fact, the leaked brochure images claim a 0-60 km/h run in just 3.9 seconds. That being said, the power figures are nowhere close to rivals in the segment that have moved beyond the 20bhp mark. Nevertheless, TVS will offer dual-channel ABS on the bike while pricing is expected to be in the vicinity of Rs. 90,000-95,000/- (ex-showroom). Complete details will be revealed on January 20.
