TVS Apache matte blue edition launched

TVS has introduced the Apache in a new matte blue edition. The update is purely cosmetic and gives the bike a matte blue paintjob and red pin striping while maintaining the same specifications as before.

The Apache RTR 180 can also be equipped with ABS. The colour is also available with the RTR 160, which is powered by a 159.7cc, single-cylinder, 4-stroke engine that makes 15.2 BHP @ 8,500 rpm and 13.1 Nm of torque @ 4,000 rpm. Stopping power comes from a 270 mm disc up front and a 130 mm drum brake or optional 200 mm disc at the rear.

Prices for the Apache RTR 160 start at Rs. 72,514, while the RTR 180 starts at Rs 76,544 and goes up to Rs 87,282 for the ABS variant (all prices ex-Delhi). Dealers are charging a premium of around Rs 2,500 for the matt blue paint shade.
