[NEWS INDIA]: TVS to launch revised Apache RTR - xBhp.com : The Global Indian Biking Community

The TVS Motor company’s flagship models, the Apache RTR series bikes are a popular choice with Indian sportsbike enthusiasts, and for good reasons. Born with the solid foundation of racing heritage, the affordably priced RTR’s, 160 and 180 represent the best of both worlds, engineered to be relaxed enough to ride on a daily basis, yet still providing riders the thrills of exciting performance and sharp edged handling that only true sportsbikes deliver. The RTR 180 to its credit remains to date one of India’s select few motorcycles to provide riders the additional safety of ABS assisted brakes.

The Apache RTR’s are easily the best looking motorcycles from TVS, which is soon to be taken to the next level. Expect the shortly upcoming RTR variants to sport more contemporary, revised styling, while retaining all their sought after value-for-money features including a heady blend of performance, with good handling and adequate comfort. The new RTR should enter TVS showrooms around the country as early as within some weeks from now, and we don’t expect to see too much more than is already offered by these bikes in terms of extra engine capacity or performance.

may be another launch like "Hyper Edge" is in line

Doesn't look much of a scoop... No pics or concrete details....
It's like me saying "SCOOP! Yamaha is bringing the new FZ (but I don't know how it looks like, when is it coming or if it is an upgrade)"

I checked this news out but didn't post it. I remember that someone from the staff told us that a revised Apache is on the cards, but not anytime soon.

So, I'm not sure of this news either. But if it happens, it would be great.

I believe that if you take a 220cc RTR from TVS, it should be able to leave its "immediate segment's Indian competition" behind in performance, handling, weight as well as price.

Because RTR's are known not to carry extra stuff like a heavy half fairing which doesn't even contribute much to aerodynamics like full fairing does.
No offense to any one manufacturer though.

I really hope the RTR series from now on comes as a proper sports bike-with nice aerodynamics and fairing.It should compliment the engine!

Super hyper edge is coming

am sure TVS being a focussed company wont be doing refreshing again. get a 200 cc TVS, am sure it would be a great boost.

As of modifications, may i suggest, only to iron out the vibrations thing? thats what put me away from ur bikes.

It could be "Hyper Edge" treatment to the Apache RTR 180/180 ABS.

A mechanic here told me that people were complaining that they weren't getting enough bang for the buck (from the RTR180ABS that I currently own) and hence TVS will be rolling out this new facelifted variant within 2 months' time. There was also some speculation that it'll have a longer swingarm as compared to its older sibling.

Perhaps we'll get to hear more about this during the Delhi Auto eXpo 2012
