The 2010 Bike Launch Speculation Thread

If this is just a sticker-only upgrade then it's a pathetic and a stupid upgrade for a company which prides itself in taking the best out of their engines!!

I was expecting something more from tvs..
Waiting for the specifications..

If this is just a sticker-only upgrade then it's a pathetic and a stupid upgrade for a company which prides itself in taking the best out of their engines!!

I am sure if this is the real Hyper-Edge then it must have something inside it,
The sticker job doesn't looks bad and it actually looks sporty and trendy.

No one ever said that Hyper Edge is gonna have twin spark plugs........would Bajaj have left TVS if they had used twin sparkers ???? They would have called that TVS is copying their DTSi tech
And I am so happy that TVS haven't employed twin sparks,Bajaj Bikes without DTSi were better,their engines were very strong,the P150,P180 classic and Wind125 had very strong engines,unlike the PulsarDTSi and DiscoverDTSi bikes.
However this is not the discussion.

The thing is that Hyper-Edges are RTRs with 3Valves........lets check if its true,no one would ever know about it until and unless it is out in the public with specs and someone opens up its engine to show the valve train.......
But from the price Point of 73000 bucks,I am sure its making some 17bhp power 2nd only to the RTR180..........and is aimed at the KarizmaR which is second to the ZMR.

It is not a new product to the line-up,infact its a new addition to the existing RTR160 line-up.

So there are now three RTR160s,
The RTR160 ,the RTR160Fi and the RTR160 Hyper-Edge.

I hope Hyper Edge would be radical in power delivery and adds some smoothness to the feel in the high rpms.

What !!!! Fi gone ????
That Bike had an awesome pick-up !!!

[satyenpoojary]

Dude, did you check if it had two spark plugs, if it has two spark plugs then it is the 3 valve head RTR. Some how you should have captured some snaps man, you would have become famous by now.

Two spark plugs have got nothing to do with the number of valves... R15 has 4 valves, but has one spark plug.

Can you check if the head is a bit different? also check the exhaust port and check if the pipe diameter has increased?

[MR ACE]

Has any one noted that the digi speedo comes with orange back lit or blue like rtr-fi & rtr 180?
Got any pics of it?
