Design and Features
The new TVS Apache RTR 200 4V looks distinguished but not dramatically different from the previous generation models.
The bike maker has chosen to stay close to the Draken X-21 concept showcased at the 2014 Auto Expo, which is a good thing and this has helped push the aggressive quotient to a maximum lending a true street-fighter styling. The trademark bikini fairing has been given a miss on the RTR 200 and is now replaced by a leaner and meaner single headlamp cluster that is equipped with daytime running LEDs.

The single piece fuel tank looks sharp and accommodates the extended fenders with ease, whereas the differently positioned fuel tank lid looks rather good. Adding a sporty touch is the black stripe in the middle of the fuel tank that also manages to break the mono colour scheme on the bike. You get split seats that are comfortable and accommodating for both the rider and pillion, whereas the rear gets an LED tail lamp and clear lens turn indicators. What also work for us are the W-shaped grab handle and the wavy alloy wheels that complete the aesthetic elements on the flagship Apache.
