    What makes you think they will launch a variant priced so much higher.

    Just consider it as a next step(a la RTR:Level 2) in extracting more performance from the motor, that's it.

      Correct. My figure of 10k was a worst case scenario. So the question remains. When there's a "better performing" variant priced so close to the old 160, why should they retain the old 160? How do they expect to sell any old 160? That contradicts the answer to one of the other questions, where he says the old 160 will not be phased out. So this "Hyper Edge" could very well be a 200+ rite?

              and BTW .. i guess its similar to Honda's Unicorn and Dazzler strategy, i don't think TVS will enter the 200CC+ mark so early ..

                  This guy only confirmed that such a bike exists, and is being tested and prepared for launch. Otherwise, everything else is responded with "no comments" or "wait for press announcement".

                  Why doesn't he give more clues about what this bike is about? It could be about a Design upgrade, Technicals upgrade, convenience upgrade etc.
                  He can disclose, because one can't expect many changes now, that its being released on 10th Sept.

                        i don't see this thread serving any constructive purpose.

                        i'm not saying the information isn't genuine...
                        just that the conversation with TVS doesn't clarify squat!
                        at the end of it we can't even be sure if the bike will be a 160cc.
                        no specs revealed... nothing informative!

                        every post is just going to be speculation or an RTR upgrade wishlist.

                        will it be 200cc??
                        or 250cc??

                        will it put out 20bhp?
                        or 27bhp?

                        is it oil cooled?
                        or oil cooler?
                        oil is cooled?
                        liquid cooled?

                        bah!

                          Just Speculating...

                          It "might" be the 200+cc RTR frm TVS...
                          In that interview amidst "No comments" and "Press release", thats giving me a slight hint of a bigger bike...
                          e.g.
                          (1) "No comments" on the code name of RTR 160 Hyper edge...(it might just be RTR HYPER EDGE)
                          (2)No phasing out of RTR 160...(That means 160 and 160Fi will stay, and if they really care for "Performance Enthusiasts", they wont introduce another 160cc bike)
                          (3)Not a "single" hint on price,specs etc...(well if they did that, than our "most frequent upgrader" BAJAJ might introduce its Pulsar220-H, (Hyper Edge) next week)
                          sigpic
                          Do you know, what your bike says about you?

                            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
                            So its official.. some upgrade is definitely on the cards.

                            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
                            Like the previous RTR series, the upgrades will be positioned as performance machines as well.

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

                            Hmm.. excusivity sells actually.

                            Focus on performance is definitely welcome.
                            But even a plastic fairing, FAT tyres, does the trick for many.

                              A good long ride can clear your mind, restore your faith, and use up a lot of fuel.

                              Always be ready (get geared) to fall and then think of sitting on the motorcycle.

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

                                Where the heck are those kits????
                                @renny: You(infact any RTR owner) should not worry about FE (ultimately, that fuel guage)buddy, you are getting less than Carb version. and those kits are used by racing team on carb versions ONLY.
                                There's lot to it other than saddle....
