TVS Apache RTR 200 4V Engine:

The RTR 200 4V is powered by a 197.7cc single-cylinder air/oil-cooled engine, mated to a 5-speed gearbox, that outputs 20.82PS and 17.25Nm in the Sport mode. In Urban and Rain mode the power is restricted to 17.24PS at 7800 rpm and 16.51Nm at 5750 rpm. 

The riding modes not only modulate the bike’s power delivery/performance and ABS intervention but even the riding characteristics. For instance, in ‘Sport’, the upshift and downshift prompts come at 8500 rpm and over 6000 rpm, respectively.

The ‘Glide Through Traffic’ feature (also called low-rpm assist) on the RTR 200 makes it easy to navigate city traffic and the bike’s ECU bumps up the revs slightly to prevent the bike from coming to an abrupt halt, this feature is quite similar to what we can see on Suzuki’s big bikes.

Riding modes can influence the ABS intervention with the Rain mode intervening the most and Sport mode the least. The urban mode is a middle ground between the two.
