TVS Motor Company has rolled out the much-anticipated 2025 Apache RTR 200 4V in India, commemorating two decades of the Apache brand’s legacy. With a series of meaningful enhancements, the updated model is engineered to appeal to modern-day motorcyclists seeking power, style, and advanced functionality in one ride. The new RTR 200 4V features notable mechanical and design upgrades, promising an improved street-sport biking experience. From its refined front suspension and aesthetic tweaks to smart tech integration, this refreshed model stands ready to continue Apache’s reputation for racetrack-inspired dynamics and urban agility.
TVS has also added a hydroformed handlebar — a first for the RTR series — that offers enhanced strength with a lighter profile. The result is a more responsive and precise steering experience, giving riders better control even at higher speeds.
These cosmetic enhancements not only elevate its visual appeal but also align with Apache’s image as a youthful and aggressive street machine.
The motorcycle is tuned for multiple riding scenarios with its three preset ride modes — Urban, Sport, and Rain. Urban mode smoothens throttle response for traffic-heavy areas, Sport unleashes the bike’s full performance potential, and Rain optimises traction and braking under slippery conditions.
For added safety and convenience, the motorcycle includes a race-tuned slipper clutch, dual-channel ABS, and adjustable brake and clutch levers — features typically found in higher-end performance bikes.
Whether navigating tight urban corners or exploring open highways, the 2025 Apache RTR 200 4V embodies what modern motorcyclists expect: precision, performance, and a dash of flair.
