      TVS showcases new Apache in Indonesia

 

TVS Motors, India’s third largest two wheeler manufacturing company has showcased a new full fairing version of their flagship model Apache RTR in Indonesia. In India TVS till now has introduced the RTR 160 EFi (Fuel Injection), RTR 160 RD (Rear Disc), RTR 180 and the latest RTR 180 ABS. The manufacturer now is about to upgrade their 160cc RTR which is expected to be showcased at the Auto Expo to be held in Delhi in January 2012.

TVS Motors post their break up with Suzuki found it hard to match the other manufacturers in the market. With few motorcycles in their portfolio they could not get hold of the urban market while their competitor Bajaj was selling Pulsar in big volumes. It was only the Apache 150cc which helped TVS to make its presence in the 150cc segment. Later on TVS upgraded their 150cc Apache into a 160cc Apache RTR (Race Throttle Response) which did well with its strong pick up and racing design language.
Meanwhile, TVS has showcased a full faring model of the Apache in Indonesia and the bike when launched in India will compete with the Yamaha R15. The full fairing gives the bike a sporty look which only the Yamaha R15 offers in this segment. There are thicker tyres and better braking. Though there is no news about the engine capacity or the power output but if this bike comes to India it will surely create ripples in the market.
