The TVS Apache RTR 200 has been the go to the motor cycle for people looking for practicality
part with the sporty character
top of the great bend of performance usability
and efficiency but more than anything is just to dam find to right
And for the 2018 TVS has given it a new head style and called dept to the race edition
2.0 other changes of just cosmetic or do their own people here i have five think you need
to know about the TVS Apache RTR 200 race edition 2.0 4v ABS kabs Slipper clutch
One it’s come with slipper clutch a standard
all variant of the RTR 200 now comes with what's TVS calls or reverse stock of racing
clutch it’s help produce clutch effort and make’s it smoother this means less physical
and hence less mental stress in traffic the Apache of the only bike in the segment to get
a slipper the clutch and not only that it is also the only motorcycle in fluff to feature
a proper dual channel abs one the competition only offer the same on the front brake
But apart from that there are no other mechanical changes to the RTR 200
the RTR 200 was launched with this 198cc oil cool motor back in 2016 and it has not been
altered since it makes 20.5ps of power in this variant along with 18.1 Newton meters of speed top
Why this is not the most powerful bike in
its segment its quicker to 60 kilometres in hour then the pulsar NS 200 but it looses
out in the run 200 Km in hour why TVS has focus on will begin giving the RTR 200 a lot
of mid range front it run steam in the top and
2. The performance has stage but just a little bit
In our test the new curve variant of the simple clutch was half a second slower to sixty kilometre
in hour than the older curve variant even 200 the race edition of 2.0 was the
210 of a second slower thanks to the new slipper clutch you get a bit of a clutch
slip Been attempting a hard launch
And it gets on the line a little bit easily but since there's no changing the engine
gearbox its still feels pretty gantry on the in the mid range
Even in terms of efficiency the race edition 2.0 return 46.9 km per litre to in the city
and 41.5 km per litre on the highway both of which are slightly higher than what we
got on the older bike The race edition of 2.0 comes in 96 in
front and a 130 section rear tyre both running TVS remorr rubber while the grip felt deficate
in dry condition it is a little lacking in the rains you can out of the radial tyres
for about 6000 rupee extra which will definitely improve the handling
Speaking of handling the RTR 200 feels a little to quick to tip into the corner and while
this nature kind takes some getting used on bending roads it means the bike very HRN in
the city Cutting to traffic is super easy with the
bike fearing natural when flicking from one side to the other
This combined with the beefy mid range talk makes the RTR 200 and excellent bike for daily commute.
3. There are new color choose from and
new graphics to go with them as well. The bike is now available in five colors all
over to get the new race edition 2.0 graphics they have been done quite peacefully and highly
shock reason in the bikes design like the tail panel tank extensions and the edges
headlights covers Apart from that if you get a new fly screen
and these fork project to professional design little other than this although the body panels
remain exactly the same. This fly screen was first seen on the RTR
200 Fi Ethanol concept are auto expo 2018 the rear tyre has also seen a small division overall
all these updates do make the bike look more striking.
4. The whether variant the position Has changed
like you mentioned earlier the slipper clutch is now available as standard across the range
the cab can be had either with or without ABS but if you want the F. I then you're out
of luck because the ABS is not offer that even as an option
5. You bring up a 3500 rupee and more compared to the older variant.
The older not slipper clutch variant of the RTR 200 are no longer available on sale the
ABS variant for the lost a little earlier this year and has been carry out on with
this update as well. So are all the updates Enough to justify the
extra price. Why a price of RTR have gone up the bike is
now offering the freshers looks the assistant of slipper clutch and the safety of the dual
channel ABS and yes that the rable of the RTR is also strong.
But this race edition 2.0 update Helps to remained a strong contender in the segment
