TVS Apache-based Adventure Bike On The Way?
The recent filing of the 'Apache RTX' trademark application suggests the potential of an ADV bike from TVS
With the adventure segment in India growing really fast, it seems like another Indian manufacturer is ready to dip its toes in it very soon. TVS has applied for a trademark for the name ‘Apache RTX’, the status of which is ‘Formalities Chk Pass’, which means the Indian Trademark Registry has authenticated the application.
The manufacturer has been associated with making bikes (especially the Apache range) with technology inspired by its near four-decade-long racing history. This includes TVS’ foray into off-road racing and rallying – with the RTR FX series of bikes. Now, those are hardcore, competition-prepped vehicles, so we believe the RTX name suggests an off-road focused offering that could be the common ground between the FX and RTR families. Additionally, TVS’ partnership with BMW Motorrad has already given us the BMW G 310 GS . And because of that partnership, the TVS Apache RR 310 (which shares the same engine) was eventually rebadged as the BMW G 310 RR. But let’s not hope that will also be the case with this one, and that TVS comes up with something unique.
The upcoming bike might also be an Apache-based scrambler, but TVS already offers the TVS Ronin which is claimed to be sort of a do-it-all motorcycle, so that possibility seems unlikely. To know for sure, we’ll wait for further details.

- Great Performance and Handling but City Mileage CoI chose the TVS Apache RTR 160 4V TFT USD model mainly for its sporty design, features and strong road presence. The bike feels very stable on highways and comfortable for daily city rides. Handling is sharp and confidence inspiring. It is also good for family usage when riding normally. Overall the build quality, braking and features like TFT display make the bike feel premium in this segment. Ride quality so far has been very good. The Apache RTR 160 4V TFT USD has excellent handling and stability. In highways the bike feels planted and smooth even at higher speeds. Braking performance and suspension are also good for most road conditions. But the biggest downside for me is the city mileage. In city I am getting around 28 to 32 kmpl, which is lower than expected for a 160cc bike. If someone wants good performance, sporty design, great handling and modern features, the Apache RTR 160 4V TFT USD is a very good choice. However mileage is the only reason I hesitate to recommend it to everyone. Competitors like Pulsar N160 give better mileage in city conditions. So if mileage is your main priority you may consider other options, but apart from that the bike is really enjoyable to ride.Read More3

- Apache RTR reviewAccording to online review it's the best bike in the segment. I reviewed other bikes in the segment and everybody has their pros and cons but this is the overall best friend and it has been running on the roads were years that's why. Very punchy and comfortable. It's very manuvareble in traffic and the blood through technology is very helpful in the driving also when it comes to I wait as a very good performance. Mileage is pretty good. Yes to anyone in this segment. Even even has an interesting 160 CC segment this is the best way to go for according to me as it as too much features for the price range and it is very much good for this age group.Read More6 3
