    Whoa, just noticed that from their ad.

    Damn, Showa tuned suspension for this segment is just superb right. So I reckon the suspension will be supple and pliant but will also aid sharp handling!

      You dint get the point. I said BMW's tech base. Nano Friks tech belongs to KolbenSchmidt. Do you think TVS had access to KS prior to their tie-up with BMW? Also RTR200 was launched post TVS-BMW tieup so it IS pretty much "BMW tech"

            Its not clear who manufactured these shocks, KYB made, OR indian brand made tuned with SHOWA, but surely not made by them.
            Also did anyone notice the carb variant come with 35 W bulbs.

              They clearly said in the lunch event that those shocks are "tuned" by showa ppl!!....

                Really excited to look at this on Monday. Showroom said they will receive the bike on monday itself and can book it after test ride,
                Was going to book a NS 160, but was not fully satisfied with the skinny rear tyres & brakes bajaj offers, and this happens.
                Kudos to TVSM to offer a 130/70 tyre with disks albeit a 200mm.

                Exactly what I wrote, they are not made by SHOWA, but by whom was the point of contention,
                I feel since TVS are not mentioning the KYB brand like in RTR 200, this must be from some other manufacturer.

                        I read somewhere that it has RAM air induction! Is it true?

                            But the RAM air assist in the 200 is not for performance boost right?!

                              Its for keeping the engine temp down. That's why RTR 200 doesn't heat much!!
