TVS Motor Company has launched the Apache RTR 200 4V Race Edition 2.0, which gets an 'anti-reverse torque slipper clutch and some new race-inspired graphics along with a fly-screen as well. At the moment it seems that TVS can do no wrong. The company launched the Apache RR 310 three months ago, which was well-appreciated and then carried the momentum on with the launch of the NTorq 125 scooter which is stylish and rich in features. Not stopping here, it is all set to launch a new motorcycle on 14th March, which will most likely be the new Apache RTR 160.

The Apache RTR 200 4V is the first motorcycle in its class to get a slipper clutch which TVS calls an anti-reverse torque unit. What this does is, reduces the force used to operate the clutch by 22 per cent, make the upshifts quicker and also reduces wheel-hopping when downshifting aggressively and while cornering as well. TVS is also confident that customers/riders who want to take the bike to the racetrack, will see better lap times as well.

The bike continues to get the same 197.5 cc single-cylinder engine which makes 20.21 bhp on the carburetor variant and 20.71 bhp on the EFI variant. The peak torque output remains the same at 18.1 Nm. TVS will offer the slipper clutch technology on the carburetor variant and is priced at Rs. 95,185. The slipper clutch with EFI engine is priced at Rs. 1, 07,885 while the slipper clutch with the carburetor and ABS variant has been priced at Rs. 1, 08,985. All prices are ex-showroom, Delhi. TVS says that the EFI and ABS variants will be available only at select dealerships.
