New TVS Apache RTR 200 4V Variant Teased

Will the new variant get new colour schemes, more power or new features? Here’s what we think

TVS Motor Company has shared a teaser on its social media handles, hinting at the launch of a new bike. And the manufacturer has added the hashtag “#ApacheRTRSeries” in the post, so we think it could be a new variant of the TVS Apache RTR 200 4V.

But why the RTR 200 4V specifically? Because the TVS Apache RTR 160 4V was updated with dual-channel ABS not so long ago (at MotoSoul 2023). And the bike has a distinct design element like a hump of sorts near the logo, which is not present in the fuel tank shown in the teaser. Also, the TVS Apache RTR 200 4V has not been updated for about 3 years now. Based on what the manufacturer has said about the upcoming launch in the caption of the post, we think the new variant could be called Blaze, with a differently tuned motor and more power output.
