TVS Motor Company has confirmed that the fuel injected version of the TVS Apache RTR 200 4V will be available
to customers by late-July 2017. However, the delivery for the FI and ABS variant is expected to start in
the next couple of months.
The TVS Apache RTR 200 4V with fuel injection is
powered by the 197.75 cc oil-cooled mill coupled to a 5-speed gearbox. The
engine is capable of producing 21 PS of maximum power at 8,500 rpm (0.5 PS more
than the carb version) and 18.1 Nm of peak torque at 7,000 rpm. The bike takes
3.9 seconds to hit 60 km/h (0.05s less than carb version). Fuel injection
should smoothen the throttle response and boost the fuel mileage slightly.
The fuel injected TVS Apache RTR 200 4V weighs 0.5
kg more than the carburetted trim tipping the scale at 148.5 kg. It is expected
to be only offered with premium Pirelli tyres while dual channel ABS with rear
lift-off protection may be optional.
The TVS Apache RTR 200 4V with fuel injection is
expected to be priced at around INR 1.15 lakhs (ex-Delhi).
