6 things to expect from the TVS Apache 200

The internet is full of speculations and spyshots of the TVS’ upcoming flagship model, the Apache 200. Powered by a rebored version of the Apache RTR 180, the Apache 200 will lock horns with the likes of the Bajaj Pulsar 220F and the Pulsar AS200. While TVS hasn’t been forthcoming with any concrete information about the bike, here are six things that you can expect from the Apache 200 –

1. Good styling

The Apache 200 features completely fresh styling influenced by the Draken X21 concept. The front gets an angular headlamp and bikini fairing along with LED DRLs, which coupled with the muscular fuel tank and the engine shroud makes it look radically different. The rear has been inspired by the current Apache RTR 180 though the raised tail section and LED tail lamps give it a sportier appeal. The ugly crash guards aside, the Apache 200 seems a big step up from the current range of Apache RTR motorcycles.

2. First TVS motorcycle to get a monoshock

While the front wheel rides on conventional telescopic forks, the rear of the Apache 200 gets a monoshock, a first for TVS. Besides improving the bike’s ride and handling, the monoshock will also bring it on par with its competition, in terms of technology. We can safely expect TVS to offer preload adjustability on the rear monoshock.

3. Oil cooling

The Apache 200 will also be the first TVS bike to be offered with oil cooling. This will not only improve the refinement and performance but should also improve the engine’s reliability in the long run.

 

4. Features

The Apache 200 gets an all-new fully-digital instrument cluster. This console integrates a speedometer, tachometer, gear indicator, clock, fuel gauge, odometers, trip meters and a service due indicator. The split seats should improve the usability while adding a sporty touch to the bike.

5. Stickier tyres

The Apache 200 test mules have been seen testing with different tyres including Pirellis and TVS Shrichakras, hinting at the Apache 200’s sporty character. While it hasn’t yet been confirmed as to which of these will end up on the production model, we can safely expect them to be a lot more fun than the street-biased rubber on the current Apache RTR.

6. ABS

The spy shot of the instrument console confirms that the Apache 200 will be offered with an ABS system. As TVS already offers ABS on the Apache 180 RTR, it wouldn’t have been too difficult to transfer the technology on to the Apache 200. Both the wheels come equipped with single disc brakes.
