Apache RTR 200 4V Gets A Dose Of Tech

TVS has launched the Bluetooth-enabled variant of the popular Apache RTR 200 4V in India. The RTR 200 4V gets the same SmartXonnect technology as seen on the TVS NTorq 125. The RTR 200 4V with SmartXonnect technology is only available in the dual-channel ABS carb variant and has been priced at Rs 1,14,345 (ex-showroom Delhi), which is a premium of Rs 2,500 over the standard model.

The highlights of this feature are turn-by-turn navigation as well as call and SMS notification on the console. Additionally, the TVS Apache RTR 200 also gets a lean angle mode, tour mode, race telemetry and crash alert, which can be viewed through the app. There’s no IMU on the bike for lean angle and telemetry, instead, the app uses the gyroscopic sensor on the phone. Apart from navigation, all other data is displayed on the app.

The Bluetooth-variant of the TVS Apache RTR 200 is available across the country beginning October 2019 in two colour options: black and white.
