Design and styling
The bike is primarily designed with a racing approach, resulting in the inclusion of a lap timer and provision for the last three 0–60 km/h timings. Apache is the first bike in India to feature a petal disc brake.[3][4]
This bike evolved from Circa 1999 Suzuki Fiero which TVS used to manufacture in India. It is TVS's R&D on Fiero model with an overbore on 147 cc Fiero Engine.
Comfort and handling
Since the bike is optimized for handling, the ride quality is on the stiffer side.[3] Previous versions of Apache had a wheelbase of 1260 mm which resulted in better turning in at the expense of stability. TVS increased the wheelbase by 40 mm to improve the stability.
Performance and fuel economy
The top of the line Apache RTR FI 160 features a fuel injected 160 cc engine. It does 0–60 km/h in 4.3 seconds and 0–100 km/h in 15.07 seconds. It is capable of a top speed of around 120 km/h and returns 54 km/l (150 mpg[vague] or 1.5 l/100 km) on the highway and 48 km/l (110 mpg or 2.08 l/100 km) in city riding.Read More
