APACHE RTR 200 4V RACE EDITION 2.0 FEATURES
The Apache RTR 200 4V Race Edition 2.0 is the first motorcycle in its class to be equipped with an advanced A-RT Slipper Clutch, a race-derived technology to complement the racing DNA of RTR 200 4V Engine. The motorcycle sports all-new dynamic racing-inspired graphics based on an aero-form theme along with a stylish and exclusively designed fly-screen for an aggressive racing stance.
The FI variant pushes track performance to the limit with Twin Spray Fuel-Injection technology developed in conjunction with BOSCH – Germany.
A-RT (ANTI-REVERSE TORQUE) SLIPPER CLUTCH
The ‘A-RT Slipper Clutch’ technology, accentuates the motorcycle’s performance, with 22% reduction in clutch force for quicker upshifts, enabling the rider to achieve better lap times. The technology also aims at ensuring rider safety in highspeed downshifts, avoids wheel-hopping while cornering, and improves vehicle stability with the back-balance torque limiter effect. With exciting racing performance, the introduction of the Slipper Clutch in TVS Apache RTR 200 4V Race Edition 2.0 also promises sharp and precise gear shifts with minimal effort.
RACE DERIVED O3C TECH
TVSM patented Oil- Cooled Combustion Chamber (O3C) Technology with ram-air assist reduces the engine heat map by a remarkable 10⁰C delivering high revving performance with uncompromised durability. Light weight Nano friKS coated piston delivers high-revving engine with linear race throttle response and increased engine life.
ELECTRONIC FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM
Closed loop fuel injection system controlled by 16 bit micro-processor for smooth and consistent engine operation under varied ambient conditions. The advanced Fuel-Injection system consists of:
Idling Air Control Valve (IACV):To meter and supply by-pass air to control idling stability which prevents engine stalling and helps in improved drivability.
Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) Sensor: To measure manifold pressure and temperature for operating under varied ambient conditions.
Fuel Injector: High pressure twin spray fuel injector supplies fuel just behind the valves for better atomization and hence higher combustion efficiency resulting in:-
- Faster engine response
- Minimal emissions
- Lambda Sensor: To measure residual oxygen in exhaust and operate engine at the targeted Air-Fuel Ratio (AFR).
- Temperature Sensor: To sense the status of the engine for better startability and drivability.
- Fuel Pump: To feed fuel to the injector at higher pressure for maximum combustion efficiency.
RACING ORIGIN SPLIT CRADLE CHASSIS
TVSM patented Double Cradle Split Synchro Stiff Chassis engineered using Multi-Body Dynamics Analysis gives optimized vehicle layout, thereby increasing the stability by 25% and setting the benchmark in its class for excellent riding dynamics.
RACE TUNED KYB SUSPENSION
The Monoshock with monotube floating piston shock absorber is precision-tuned for compression and rebound damping in cooperation with KYB to achieve excellent dynamic response and perfect track balance.
STANDARD ALL-WEATHER GRIP TYRES
The standard Pirelli Angel GT tyres gives the rider excellent dry/wet grip on/off the track providing superior grip and long-lasting performance.
RACING DOUBLE – BARREL EXHAUST
Developed using unique Sound Engineering techniques and made from bare stainless steel provides RTR 2004V Series a signature low frequency sound that pushes you to rev harder.
Apache RTR 200 4V Race Edition 2.0 is available in three colour, Matte Red, Black and White and priced at RM10,950.00.

• Air-cooled, 109.7cc, SOHC, single-cylinder Neo XR 110cc Power Engine.
• A digital ignition mapping takes care of fuel delivery and combustion.
• It produces 8.5 bhp at 8,000 RPM and 8.5 NM of torque at a low 4,500 RPM.
• The 3,500 RPM spread between maximum torque and horsepower ought to make the engine more “flexible,” requiring less gear shifting.
• The throttle includes a position sensor.
• Large, body mounted headlamp.
• iEcono indicator to help rider save fuel.
• iCharge charging port for electronic devices.
