Do i smell redesigned 3 valve head from the SRV125, forged piston,re tuned exhaust, and engine producing 18.65PS???

If yes, yamaha R15 should hold it's pants tightly.

Where the heck are those kits????

Man, aur kitna expect karega

. I just wish all your wishes are granted.

@Manan bhai don't take this as personal, because the rules are applicable for everyone.

As per the news what's this Hyper edge technology means?

Not trying to stir up an issue, nor do i have anythong personal against Aryan or Manan, but as Binoy has mentioned, aren't RULES THE SAME FOR EVERYONE ? ..hmmm..

**WiZ** · 07-21-2010, 02:41 PM

^ RULES ARE RULES.As simple as that.

or is it 'RULES WHICH ARE BENDABLE for TRUSTED MEMBERS' in xBhp

?

**satyenpoojary** · 07-21-2010, 02:45 PM

Isnt there a rule against posting OTs as well?

If I were you I would trust what Manan had to say about it, rather than crib about rules being rules and what not....!

Chillax, if you think is SPAM, dont add to the clutter and wait...

**enfro** · 07-21-2010, 02:45 PM

Great news..TVS rising to Yamaha (and Bajaj?) challenge

(being a xbhp member i like to follow rules on road as well on the forum. It would have been great if the thread was posted either in Speculation section or the thread starter could have waited for "some hours". Hope the rule makers (almost shy of a dozen in number) are online/listening/keeping an eye. Nothing personal by the way Manan

)

well if that's true then i'm sure he's entitled to being considered a reliable source.

he has mentioned that he will be back in a while with support for his statements.

--------------------

hope this upgrade isn't disappointing.

**payeng** · 07-21-2010, 02:58 PM

On second thoughts. Rules should be equal for everyone.

**felix.ragav** · 07-21-2010, 03:00 PM

good to see TVS coming up with a better engine. Looks like they are ready to give Yamaha a run for there money

I would be the happiest guy if TVS regained the championship title from the Japs!

Thanks Manan for bringing out the news.

**sunilg** · 07-21-2010, 03:00 PM

Relax guys. Those who have been long enough with xBhp know the reliability of this news that comes from Manan (who was the first one to bring the news of Apache 180 (code named Menace).

xBhp has full faith in his words and I personally know that he is mature enough to not post anything here without concrete proof.

Yet, we respect the other members' opinion too and this thread will remain closed temporarily until Manan comes out with further information.

Update from Manan

Manan's Conversation with Head Motorcycle Group of TVS Mr. Arun Siddharth

Hi Sid,

It has been great to know that TVS has yet again got ready to delight the
customers of the 150 and above segment with it's Apache 160 Hyper Edge.
Request you to please let know some of the query that I would have to
share with the world

1. Do we really have something like Apache 160 Hyper Edge in the
making?

Yes

2. How will this be different from already avaialbel Apache 160?

We will make a press announcement on the subject at an appropriate time

3. What will happen to the current Apache 160, are we planning to phase
it out?

No

4. Is it that Apache 160 Hyper Edge has been code named as Hyper Edge?

No Comments

5. When are we planning to launch the same?

We shall be in the market in a couple of months

6. What will be the specs for Apache 160 Hyper Edge if it is at all a truth?

Press announcement will address the same

7. Why TVS has been so quite for long and did not let the info or clue about this new arrival come out before?

Announcement needs to be made at an appropriate time

8. There has been lot of speculations and expectations about performance of the coming bikes of TVS, will this be an aswer to the
customers' expectations?

All RTR franchise vehicles are meant for the Performance enthusiast.

9. What is the future vision of TVS Racing for Apache RTR Series, as TVS has in recent past has been able to change it's perception
from conservative commuter bike company to performance lovers' choice?

TVS Racing will continue to be the leader in developing the RTR range of motorcycles as RTR is a FOR THE RACER , BY THE RACER brand

10. Is there any other bike also in line from TVS racing in this year or later?

No comments

11. How TVS is planning to price Apache 160 Hyper Edge to compete with all the other rivals available, which I believe should not
be an issue with TVS atleast

?

Press announcement will follow on the subject.

12. Will this varient of Apache also focus on the style seekers?

No RTR brand is focussed for ONLY PERFORMANCE ENTHUSIASTS. but it'll have contemporary Stylish accents to make it look Race
Sporty

13. Like all other variants of RTR is it also been tested specifically on the race tracks in India and Abroad?

Yes

14. Last time when RTR 180 got launched it was speculated that it was getting benchmarked with R15 initially, however later-on the
same has been discarded as RTR 180 Menace was found more aggressive in performance by the engineers in Indian conditions (as
reported in one of the blogs in Xbhp.com). So which bike has been benchmarked this time?

No comments this time

15. Do you really test your bikes yourselves on the race tracks before giving it to the customer, unlike other manufacturers who
use customers as Gineau pigs?

Yes all bikes are tested by R & D and TVS Racing rigorously before being launched in accordance with TVS Quality
norms.

Thanks and hope for quick responses of questions in my mind.

Regards

Dr. Manan Chaturvedi

Thread re-opened for discussion.

**chicane1879** · 07-22-2010, 03:13 PM

So the launch is very near. And yes, they will most probably tweak the existing 'RTR' lineup and not solely the 160.

ABS testing has been completed. I hope they provide that option for the 160 too.

**rohanblade** · 07-22-2010, 03:24 PM

Can't wait to get my hand's on da beast

**Ram1883** · 07-22-2010, 03:31 PM

4. Is it that Apache 160 Hyper Edge has been code named as Hyper Edge?

No Comments

What makes us think that it could be only the 160? Like the 180 was code named "Menace", why not, say the 250, is being code named "Hyper Edge"? If you look at the rest of the answers, it could make sense that this could be a 250. The old 160 is not being phased out. Who would anyone buy an old RTR 160 when there's a 160 Hyper Edge available at a difference of maybe less than 10k?

The news about a RTR 200+ has been making the rounds for sometime anyway. Hows that for a superset of an existing speculation?
