TVS Lanka Ltd. has launched its new Apache Series RTR with an all-new beast-themed styling.

The new design, with all lines pulled back, all excesses eliminated and all curves chiselled to perfection, synergises seamlessly with a high performance power-train to look dynamic, even when stationary. The new design and styling has been incorporated in all TVS Apache models, namely, TVS Apache RTR 150 and TVS Apache RTR 180.

The company has taken the Apache RTR series to the next level with obsessive engineering and menacing design. The priority in every step of the Apache brand’s development has been race-bred performance. Every system, detail and component has been tuned to maximise performance.

Apache as a brand has been very well received, said Sampath Agalawatta, CEO of TVS Lanka.

The new breed of TVS Apache RTRs will shoulder a hallmark with its one-of-its kind pilot lamps, inspired by the ‘eye of fury’ – which consists of LED light guide technology combined with new pilot lamps to form a pair of intense animalistic eyes that is activated on ignition, night or day.

Chiselled and sharp tank shrouds constitute a revolutionary new aerodynamic package which helps reduce engine heat helping in unbridled top end performance for race and sports enthusiasts and increasing the usable power with crispness of response. The bike sports a sculpted digital console with new muscled styling and race inspired carbon fibre cues. The new nocturnal blue backlit display adds to the design element. Leaner race designed new aggressively angled seat cowls along with a muscled engine cowl echoing an aerodynamic razored design, brings the new design full-circle, giving the RTR a racier feel.

The TVS Apache RTR series has best the power-to-weight ratio in its class. Sheathed in edgy grunge-style graphics in dual colour scheme, the TVS Apache RTR 150 dishes out 14.1 ps of raw power and can be pushed to speeds up to 118 kmph. The TVS Apache RTR 180 however churns out 17.03 ps of bone-crunching power that can reach speeds of up to 124 kmph.

The new TVS Apache RTR 150 comes in four dual tone colours: green, red, yellow, and grey, with black being the base. The new TVS Apache RTR 180 also comes in white, yellow, and grey. The new TVS Apache Series RTR is available in TVS dealerships across the country.
