TVS Motors is on a roll. Continuous new launches has not made them content and next on the cards is the launch of the most powerful TVS bike ever, the TVS Apache RTR 220. Internal sources reveal the Apache 220 to be more powerful with the bigger 220cc mill producing close to 22bhp. The bike will also get full faring along with a segment first – ABS. The bike is expected to cost close to Rs. 95,000/- and will be available by April, 2010.
“If the market demands, we will look into the high-powered bike segment of above 200 cc category. This 200cc TVS bike could be either a sports bike or a bike with racing DNA. At this point of time TVS has not made any firm decision on this aspect,” TVS Motor Company President (Marketing) H S Goindi said.

i think tvs doesnt no any other name other than apache.pls change the name apache aleast for the 220 version.they do same as bajaj’s pulsar opy cat TVS

wat bull says is rite, they can name it as chicane, one of thier concept model which was displayed, please tvs keep it as chicane, wat u guys say?
December 24th, 2009 at 12:14 pm
@ Bull & Chetan – what we think the new Apache 220cc will come on the same name, because Apache is well know series, but changing to something will not catch the eye among the public.
See what bajaj has done, they say they are very strong on Pulsar series, so they have bike engine varies from 135 to 220. So they are planning to launch a 300 – 400cc engines from the pulsar series. Because name that captures the market and sales. What you say ?

let it be apache…but why 220 cc?…..why not more?….why are tvs always trying to copy bajaj and do better…i’m pretty sure this will be the fastest indian bike when it comes out considering how fast the apache 180 is, but seriously this game of following bajaj is getting irritating…also im pretty sure that this will be more of a proper sports bike than the pulsar…the p220 is more of a tourer…
December 24th, 2009 at 3:08 pm
oh guys , come on enough of pulsar brand and apache brand , let them create new platform for bajaj, they should have kept thier 135 cc bike as sonic it would created a new platform, rite na, then sonic 150 , 200, like that, even tvs also wit chicane, i think bajaj and tvs are mere copycats, we dont like this , apache vs pulsar, oh god boring !

I think it will defnetly crackdown the pulsar. If it got an “NOS” kit bike lovers will love it, especially youngsters.
December 24th, 2009 at 7:55 pm
@ santosh.. NOS kit? wat the hell? i dont see any manufacturer using NOS in their production vehicles(be it car or motorcycle). if u wanna have a nos install it as a mod.. n i think rtr 220 will easily reach 160kmph considering that rtr 160 can touch 120kmph..
December 24th, 2009 at 11:48 pm

hey chetan kamal is right let it b apache because the rtr fans like it lot and plan to buy this new rtr series like apache 200 or 220 .
but what im thinking is let apache b specific.
because when all other companies launched 150cc, tvs launched rtr 160cc differently
so insted of 180cc they must done 190cc and insted of 200cc it can b 210,
and for 220 let it b 230cc .
it ll b a seperate track for tvs rtr series na ,
what u guys telling will my idea work pls rep me dudes

m glad you ppl came up with good decision n ppl r waiting for your new release which is 220cc.and even am very eager to buy it.
February 4th, 2010 at 9:10 pm
even me im having a 160 already ,when 220 launches ill surely buy it

I am dreaming of a bike which will be create a new benchmark in terms of performance as
TVS can do it.
Yamaha: RX-100/ RX-135 5speed
Suzuki: Shogun/Shoulin/Fiero
had created in their times.
It should be light in weight, not more than 115 kg. at least after making it naked, as this was the weight of Fiero and it was a 4-stroke Rocket in its segment. It should be high in Torque, it should not require any engine-modification or any performance kit, it should be ready to race bike. After opening few parts it should be easily converted into off-road bike. And factory should provide off-road accessories for that bike knobby tyres front fender,foot rest etc.
And I am sure
