TVS Apache RTR 200 4V Race Edition 2.0

The Apache RTR 200 4V Race Edition 2.0 carries forward the design language of the Apache series but now looks sharper, meaner and more focused. The bike gets a lot of unique details like the offset fuel-filler cap, a black stripe that runs across the center of the tank and the double barrel exhaust. Fit and finish are top notch while switchgear feels premium. New updates for 2018 include a flyscreen atop the headlamp and new dual-tone colour schemes. 
Features include clip-ons and a fully-digital instrument cluster that displays a host of information like lap times, acceleration times, fastest speed recorded, service indicator and gear indicator.

The RTR 's split cradle frame uses the engine as a stressed member for better rigidity and lightness. TVS claims the new frame is 25 percent more stable. It uses KYB suspension components in the form of telescopic front forks and a rear monoshock. While ride quality over uneven surfaces is plush, the rear suspension tends to get caught out by bumps quite easily and takes time to settle down leading to a pogo effect for the pillion rider. 

The bike gets a sharp rake so the quick steering takes some getting used to. The front end has a tendency to dive into corners but mid-corner stability is quite good. That allows you to ride the bike in a spirited manner. While the Remora tyres get the job done, the expensive Pirelli tyres are the ones to go for as they offer that extra grip in corners and while braking. 

Safety comes in the form of an optional dual-channel ABS unit that reduces braking distance while improving stability under braking. The unit also gets rear lift protection (RLP) system that keeps the bike from performing unintentional stoppies under hard braking.
