  • Looks like a sick joke from TVS. Never thought TVS would do this. So that leaves Bajaj, as the only company that provides true upgrades.

    I hope TVS is reading this.

        • Yeah1 I agree that people might be feeling that there hopes were shattered, however my thread was never to increase the hopes to the sky level it was just the information of a new variant getting launched. But on the other side as it's name suggest, it is HyperEdge, I dont know what people have percieved of it, but the name was kept such to indicate the technological changes in the bike.

          As per my experience of riding this new variant I can say that this bike has actually been an attempt to remove those vibes that were the matter of talks in the past and also the bike sports an exhaust system to meet new emissions as well increase usable power and torque. Also an all new racier decal scheme somewhat simillar to McLaren with a near carbon finish.

          It has no spec change, but when you ride this machine you actually feel the difference of the output of the power, increasing the grunt that you always wished for.

          Some pics from my side

              • Has the TVS stoped the production of 160 RTR FI, i have enquired 4 dealers in Hyderabad (Sneha, Vishal, Srinivas and Kiran) all of them have said that the bike is not in production for the last 8 months, and a RTR 220 is to be launched in another 3-4 months, is this true?

                  Hahhahaa! one more rumor on it's way.... Can't say if it will be 220 but looking at the pace of bike launches by all the other companies, we can expect something for TVS. But no confirmation/concerete news till now out though.

                  • Clutch plate change

                    Finally......! after i had little discussion with my mech he agreed to change Clutch plates-Pressure Plates . Costs 750(clutch plates ) + 145 for (Pressure plates) + Gasket . It took good 2hrs to replace everything .
                    Well after changing plates now bike has become more aggressive it just shoots from 10 to 110kmph . Initial pickup (Punch) is back and am loving it
                    Its not enough to know how to twist the throttle; you must have judgement to know when and where to do it.

                      After taking delivery from showroom, I have never seen my bike this clean since 23march2009. You seem to spend more time in cleaning than riding.
                      There's lot to it other than saddle....

                        I'am in a habit of cleaning it before every ride, plus i ride it very less, only 11700 kms in two years!
