2020 TVS Apache RTR 200 4V Spotted Testing

• The 2020 RTR 2000 4V will receive minor cosmetic updates.
• Likely to debut with a BS6 compliant engine. 
• The current RTR 200 4V Race Edition 2.0 made its debut in March 2018.

A test mule of the 2020 TVS Apache RTR 200 4V has been spotted testing in Hosur where the TVS manufacturing facility is based. Only a head-on pic of the upcoming motorcycle is available and from that we can make out that the new RTR 200 4V will be equipped with LED headlight. It seems to be a split unit for low beam and high beam, while the profile of the headlight looks similar to the existing bike. Other minor cosmetic updates like new colours and graphics are expected on the upcoming bike. We also hope that TVS equips the 2020 Apache RTR 200 4V with a digital console that gets Bluetooth and navigation like the TVS Ntorq 125.

Apart from the cosmetic updates, the new Apache will also be debuting a BS6 compliant engine. The current bike is offered in two variants - carburettor and fuel injection. However, we are sure that the 2020 TVS Apache RTR 200 4V will be available only in a single fuel-injected variant. The existing Fi variant churns out 21PS and 18.1Nm of peak torque. Whether the BS6 variant maintains the same power output remains unclear. Transmission duties are handled by a 5-speed gearbox, but we do hope that the 2020 RTR 200 4V receives a 6-speed unit for better touring capability.

Underpinnings of the upcoming motorcycle, including the same frame, suspension hardware and dual-channel ABS unit, is expected to remain unchanged. The current TVS Apache RTR 200 4V FI variant retails for Rs 1.10 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi) and we expect the 2020 RTR 200 4V to carry a premium of around Rs 10,000 to Rs 15,000. Watch this space for more updates.
