The popular TVS Apache RTR 200 4V is available in three distinct variants. All three share the same engine, but differ in the hardware and features they offer. Here’s a breakdown of what each variant has to offer.
TVS Apache RTR 200 4V variant breakdown
Dual Channel ABS with Ride Modes
The base variant gets a conventional telescopic fork with preload adjustability, allowing riders to fine-tune the suspension to some extent. It comes with an LCD instrument console that supports turn-by-turn navigation, call and SMS alerts, and ride telemetry through TVS SmartXonnect. Riders also get access to three riding modes – Sport, Urban, and Rain – which alter both power delivery and ABS calibration.
It also gets dual-channel ABS, adjustable brake and clutch levers, and a slipper clutch, making it a reasonably well-equipped model at its price. This variant is priced at Rs 1.37 lakh.
USD Fork
The USD variant builds on the base model by adding a golden USD fork in place of the conventional telescopic unit. The LCD instrument console and all other features remain identical to the base variant, including the three riding modes, dual-channel ABS, SmartXonnect connectivity, and slipper clutch.
The golden-coloured USD fork not only enhances the bike's visual appeal but should also improve front-end performance. This variant is priced at Rs 1.42 lakh.
TFT
The top-spec TFT variant builds on the USD variant with a notable technology upgrade. It features a 5-inch TFT instrument cluster borrowed from the Apache RTR 310, offering smartphone connectivity, voice assist, and more advanced ride analytics.
This variant also includes a traction control system and a new Class-D LED projector headlamp. The USD fork, dual-channel ABS, three riding modes, and slipper clutch are all carried over from the mid-spec variant. This top variant is priced at Rs 1.48 lakh.
