TVS Motor launches updated Apache RTR 160 and 180

TVS Motor Company has launched its new 2012 Apache Series RTR with an all-new design and styling which has been incorporated in all its Apache models namely, the TVS Apache RTR 160, the TVS Apache RTR 180 and the TVS Apache RTR 180 with Antilock Brake System (ABS).

“We have taken the Apache RTR to the next level with obsessive engineering and menacing design,” says H S Goindi, President-Marketing, TVS Motor Company. “The priority in every step of the Apache brand’s development has been race-bred performance. Every system, detail and component has been tuned to maximise performance. Apache as a brand has been very well received.”

The new breed of TVS Apache RTRs adorn a very beastly and good looking daytime running LED lights which are placed side by side just above the headlight, a first for an Indian bike. The bike sports a digital console with new styling and race-inspired carbon fibre bits. The new nocturnal blue backlit display adds to the design element of the vehicle.

Power figures remain unchanged with the TVS Apache RTR 160 dishing out 15.2PS of power and the RTR 180 churning out 17.03PS. The new RTR 160 is available in four dual-tone colours namely green, red, yellow and grey with black as the base colour. The refreshed RTR 180, too, is available in four colours – white, yellow, grey and black. The ABS version, though, is available only in white and black.
