Any Change in Engine, pickup ,horse power and finally on bhp?

No change in the engine and other major parts of the heart of the vehicle..

TVS exhibited their dream model in the recent Auto expo show in New delhi.. the fuel injected re worked engine. but those changes were included in this release. may be we can expect in next release ..




TVS Stated TR FI is the first bike from its stable to feature innovative Fuel Injection technology. By launching the apache RTR FI TVS will bring the its ultimate racing experience to the streets. According to TVS,the new apache RTR FI offers instant thrill and superior performance of a fuel injected 160cc engine. The 160cc FI mill cranks out 15.1bhp at 8500 rpm and 13.1Nm at 6500rpm. The figures are not much different for carburetted apache RTR. However, the power delivery will be progressive and the refinement can be felt while driving. TVS claims the top speed of the new apache RTR Fuel Injection (FI) as 120kmph. Also because of the improved combustion the emissions will be minimal in the new apache RTR Fuel Injection (FI).Another novel feature in the new apache RTR Fuel Injection (FI) is the rear disc brake. This new feature will give better control over this beast.

but this changes were not the part of the recent release Changes in the present release..



Sculpted tanks now features shrouds on both sides with increases the apache’s glam quotient. Comes with data logging feature as its available in most of the race bikes.



Top speed indicators and 0-60 lap time is sure to help your riding skills. The issues with digital display is resolved and its looks more cool


The latest model of apache comes without chain cover. i think they want to do the what Pulsar does. i dont like this change. it gives un even look to the bike. TVS may come with this change for two reasons... 1. cost of reducing the steel parts in the bike 2. to look similar to Bajaj pulsar models but finally its not safe take your loved ones carrying in billion while dressed with Sarrrie. but TVS has option to fit to the chain guards but it comes under the extra customized section.

My Suggestion

TVS Apache RTR remains one of the hottest bike in its segment. the look is rocks and really.
