    India based auto major, TVS Motors Lmt. recently launched a new scotteret named Jupiter. At the launch the company also announced that it will launch a new bike every quarter, which means they have almost prepared a product for the next quarter. And if we are not wrong, the next product of the company is a bigger Apache or an updated version of their popular Scooty.

    TVS Scooty

    The popular scoterret of the company TVS Scooty, which is very popular among female riders is a centre stage product. The company has been constantly updating this to keep it in trend. Now they are planning for another update in the product for 2014, which will be named Scooty Zest. The Zest will be a cosmetically updated version of the existing Scooty.

    TVS Apache RTR 180

    Apache RTR series is a popular sport commuter series of the company, which has three variants named Apache RTR 160, 180 and 180 with ABS. The Company produces these bikes for both domestic and export sales. For a couple of years, we have been listening about a bigger Apache above 200cc. As we know, a couple of months ago, TVS and the German auto giant BMW signed a pact to work together to develop 200-500cc segment bikes. As per the pact, both the company's will develop motorbikes together, though for their individual brands. And right after the partnership, rumours started coming out about the launch of Apache RTR 250, which is speculated to be the first bike through alliance.

    If the next will be Apache RTR 250, it might not be a sport commuter as brutal naked machines are in trend these days, though the company hasn't officially said anything on the same. Right now, we aren't sure about the next launch, but we are surely waiting for a bigger Apache.

      Urgent sell bike
      Apache RTR 4v black is quite good bike as compared to other brand. This bike offer 17 bhp and 15 nm torque which is quite fast coming to looks. It looks like naked super bike with red black colour combination. It offer three riding mode with tft display and abs braking which is single only with better mileage in this segment.

      Great Performance and Handling but City Mileage Co
      I 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.

      A Perfect Balance of Power and Style.
      I chose the Apache RTR 160 Limited Edition for its sporty performance, sharp handling, unique limited-edition looks, good mileage, and reliable TVS build, making it perfect for daily use with a premium feel. Apache RTR 160 Limited Edition so far is smooth and fun it feels responsive with good pickup, confident in city traffic, and stable at higher speeds. The handling is sharp and the overall ride quality is comfortable for daily commuting as well as weekend rides. I would recommend the Apache rtr 160 Limited Edition if you are looking for a bike that fun to ride, reliable, good on mileage, and turns heads with its sporty looks. It is a great all round choice for both daily commuting and weekend rides.

      Apache RTR review
      According 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.
