TVS has launched the 2025 Apache RTR 200 4V in India at an ex-showroom price of ₹1.54 lakh. The motorcycle now sports several mechanical upgrades and cosmetic changes to enhance appeal. Along with this, it meets new emission norms, keeping it future-ready. The visual tweaks and tech continuity make it a compelling option for enthusiasts in the sporty commuter segment.
Design and Colour Options
The updated Apache RTR 200 4V gets a fresh visual identity with red alloy wheels and new body graphics. TVS now offers the motorcycle in three new colour schemes: Glossy Black, Matte Black, and Granite Grey. While the body design remains the same as before, these updated finishes provide a new level of freshness.
Mechanical Upgrades
A major mechanical enhancement is the addition of a new 37mm USD (upside-down) fork that promises better front-end feedback and improved ride quality. TVS has also introduced a new hydroformed handlebar, aiming to improve ergonomics and rider comfort. These updates give the bike a sportier stance while maintaining riding ease.
Engine and Performance
The 2025 model continues with the same 197.75cc single-cylinder, oil-cooled engine that delivers 20.8hp at 9,000rpm and 17.25Nm at 7,250rpm. Though the power figures remain unchanged, this engine is now updated to meet the latest OBD2B emission standards, ensuring environmental compliance without compromising performance.
Features and Technology
TVS still sells the Apache RTR 200 4V with a whole lot of technology features. The motorcycle still has three riding modes – Urban, Sport, and Rain – to provide improved control in different circumstances. Other features include dual-channel ABS, a slipper clutch with race setup, adjustable levers, LED lights, a fully digital instrument cluster, and SmartXonnect Bluetooth connectivity.
Price Hike and Competition
The Apache RTR 200 4V is now priced ₹5,370 higher than the old version and is available at ₹1,53,990 (ex-showroom, Delhi). Though there has been a hike in prices, upgrades do bring enough value to the table to make them competitively priced alongside the Bajaj Pulsar NS200 and Pulsar N250, which also look to target performance-oriented buyers of the same kind.
Who Should Buy This Bike
The 2025 Apache RTR 200 4V is perfect for young riders who are seeking a fashionable street bike that is not compromising on performance or features. With better mechanical components and new emissions compliance, it is a convenient and desirable choice for city rides and weekend jogs.
