TVS Apache

The TVS Apache range of motorcycles is produced by TVS Motor Company, a two-wheeler manufacturer based in Hosur, India. TVS offers a selection of five new Apache bikes in India. The starting price for the TVS Apache is Rs 1.19 Lakh, which applies to the cheapest Apache bike, the Apache RTR 160. This particular model features a 159 cc engine and claims a mileage of 47kmpl. The highest-priced bike in the Apache lineup is the Apache RR 310, priced at Rs 2.72 Lakh. It is equipped with a 312cc engine and with 33kmpl claimed mileage. The popular Apache series also includes the Apache RTR 160 2V (Rs. 1.19 Lakh) and the Apache RTR 160 4V (Rs 1.23 Lakh).

The TVS Apache family originated from the TVS Fiero, a commuter bike with a focus on performance that was developed to compete with the popular Hero Honda CBZ. The Apache 150, an enhanced version of the Fiero, eventually evolved into the Apache RTR 160. The "RTR" acronym stands for Racing Throttle Response, which highlights the brand's expertise in racing. It was designed as a competitive response to the highly popular Bajaj Pulsar 150. TVS actively participates in various national racing championships, both on track and dirt, with its Apache motorcycles.

Currently, there are five TVS Apache models available for purchase in India. The flagship model is the TVS Apache RR 310 (priced at Rs 2.40 lakh), a motorcycle developed in collaboration with BMW Motorrad. It offers segment-first riding modes, aggressive styling, and several connected features in its latest version.

Among the Apache models, the TVS Apache RTR 160 2V (priced at Rs 1.19 lakh) is the most affordable and also one of the oldest variants. It shares a similar appearance with the Apache RTR 180. The latest version of the RTR 160 2V features an LED headlight, a smartphone-connected instrument cluster with turn-by-turn navigation, Glide Through Technology (GTT) for smooth low-rpm riding in traffic, and three riding modes.

The modern Apache models, such as the RTR 160 4V and RTR 200 4V, come equipped with advanced features like a four-valve head, oil-cooling, and race-tuned suspension, staying true to the brand's sporty DNA. The TVS Apache RTR 160 4V was the first bike in its segment to offer multiple riding modes, along with an information-rich instrument cluster that includes turn-by-turn navigation. TVS even introduced a highly limited edition Apache RTR 165RP, a production bike that pays homage to the iconic Apache GP165R race bike.

The TVS Apache RTR 200 4V (priced at Rs 1.46 lakh) was also the first bike in its segment to feature turn-by-turn navigation, premium adjustable Showa suspension, and multiple riding modes. On the other hand, the TVS Apache RTR 180 (priced at Rs 1.32 lakh) is the only 180cc bike available in India and remains one of the oldest Apache models still in production. It recently received several upgrades, including GTT, smartphone connectivity with turn-by-turn navigation, and three riding modes. Each member of the Apache family, ranging from 160cc to 310cc, has been meticulously fine-tuned to deliver exceptional performance.

In the future, TVS is expected to introduce a naked version of the Apache RR 310, likely to be named the TVS Apache RTR 310. However, the specific launch date for this model is yet to be revealed.
