2020 TVS Apache RTR 200 4V: Factory to Track
India Today
We take the new TVS Apache RTR 200 4V on a pilgrimage that has been crucial to the evolution of the Apache brand, right from the TVS factory in Hosur to Chennai’s Madras Motor Race Track. Simultaneously putting to the whether you can actually take a bone-stock motorcycle straight off the factory to the track!
Ranging from the Apache RTR 160 to the fully-faired track-focussed Apache RR 310, each motorcycle in the range has, without a doubt, the best features, performance, handling and relative price-point for the riding enthusiast. As each year the cycle progresses from the factory in Hosur to the proving grounds of the MMRT where learnings and data are compiled only to return to the factory where improvements are incorporated. And every year, they’ve come back with a better motorcycle. This was TVS’ pilgrimage to excellence, something that’s ingrained in the TVS way of life, and now it was our turn to be a part of it. For us, it was the perfect homage to a brand that we hold in such high regard.
The TVS factory is located in Hosur on the outskirts of Bangalore about 300km away from the Madras Motor Race Track in Sriperumbudur on the outskirts of Chennai. Our weapon of choice for the journey, the 2020 Apache RTR 200 4V. In our minds this was the perfect motorcycle for the journey because the Apache RTR 200 is in many ways the motorcycle that connects the history of the Apache RTR brand, with motorcycles like the Apache RTR 160 and 180 with the RR 310, that is representative of the cutting edge future of TVS. The idea was to showcase the spectrum of abilities of the Apache RTR series of motorcycles, straight out of the factory onto the highway and after a short battle through Sriperumbadur’s wild traffic, and finally onto the MMRT to fully unleash the RTR 200’s potential.
