TVS Apache RTR 2004V Bike_Editorial Review
This is the latest performance motorcycle from TVS Motor and, in turn, becoming the flagship model of the Chennai-based company. And the best looking Apache till date, the design is a beautiful extension of the RTR series along with important cues from the Draken concept (shown in 2014 Auto Expo). With an aggressive looking headlight assembly and LED DRLs on, it looks sophisticated and menacing at the same time. The fuel tank is the most aggressively designed unit till date with sharp and edgy tank extensions sporting ‘Apache RTR’ moniker. The seats are another aesthetically designed pieces, with a split setup for the rider and pillion. The grab-rails are beautiful, yet practical, and so is the LED tail light which looks nothing like in previous Apache motorcycles. And the overall build quality, fit and finish of various parts is extremely impressive and in 5 new different matt colours,
This is the most stunning and aggressive looking motorcycle from TVS so far. The engine is all-new and the ‘4V’ stands for 4-Valves. The 200cc engine is a race-derived O3C unit (Oil-cooled Combustion Chamber) and is fed either by a Bosch-Closed Loop fuel injection system or a Keihin CV carburetor. The Carburetor-fed engine produces 20.5PS of maximum power at 8500RPM while the FI variant produces slightly higher 21PS at the same 8500RPM. Also, the torque output is same in both Carb & FI engines which is 18.1NM at 7000RPM. For the first time in a TVS engine, the cylinder has 4 valves and is cooled by oil-cooling technology.Although, it remains largely air-cooled. It is the smoothest RTR engine by far with some vibrations coming up only around 8000RPM. With more power comes better acceleration, and the new RTR races from 0 to 60 in just 3.9 seconds (3.95 for the Carb) and in just 12 seconds to the 100. Combined all this with a 5-speed gearbox and you’ve got the quickest and fastest Apache RTR ever built by TVS with a top speed of 129km/h. However, the safety is paramount as well and both petal discs at front and rear are aided by optional ABS. Not just that, since the tagline says “Every day Is Race Day”, the RTR 200 has a Lap-Timer and Top Speed indicators in the fully digital console unit. These are important information because the new frame, which TVS calls, the Double Cradle Split Synchro Stiff Frame along with mono-shock at the rear provide sporty and involving handling characteristics. And when it's time to hit a race track, the Lap Timer would come in handy to see how fast you’ve been through the circuit. The Apache RTR 200 4V is TVS’s best so far and gives us a glimpse of even more exciting motorcycles in the future.
