Tvs apache rtr 200 4v

I use to own a tvs apache rtr 180 for the past 6 years. 7 months back i decided to upgrade to its young but elder sibling, the apache rtr 200 4v. The buying experience has always been good at tvs for me. The bike was available so booked it in the morning & got the delivery late evening.

Primary use of this bike is touring, almost every weekend the apache 200 takes me to places or it is the home run from mumbai-pune-mumbai. A couple of months back i did pune-bangalore-mumbai on the 200 & the bike exceeded my expectations. It performed beautiful on the highway & i felt 100kmph is the sweet spot of this bike.

City riding is again fun with the 200 as in case of all the apaches the 200 is light & nibble. The suspension on the 200 is more on the plush side as compared to my 180 & it takes potholes and rough roads very well (don't expect a himalayan here). The 1st, 2nd & 3rd gear are just spot on for the city & traffic ride. I usually never worry about scraping speed breakers as the ground clearance is enough to take the big ones.

Pros:

1. Refinement: coming from the apache 180 this thing feels butter smooth. No vibrations till 7000 rpm.

2. Fuel economy: i get around 35kmpl, on sane riding in between 60-80kmph can get you close to 40kmpl.

3. Plush suspension from kyb (the jounce & rebound are on the comfort side).

4. Mirrors offers excellent viewing angle & are rock steady even at 100kmph

5. Best seats in the segment. The seats are perfectly cushioned & you don’t feel uncomfortable even after riding for 500+km in a day.

6. 55/60w headlight with aptly designed reflectors provide the perfect balance of beam spread & intensity.

7. Never faced any heating issues neither in the city traffic nor on the highway.

8. Matt colours are super easy to maintain no worries on swirl marks & stuff.

9. Instrument console is one of the best i have seen with lots of information & stuff you can change according to your need e.G: the gear shift light can be set depending on your riding style.

10. Option for pirelli tires.

Cons:

1. 12l fuel tank can be annoying when you plan to do 1000km in a single day. Miss my 180 with the 16l tank.

2. No kick start.

3. No side stand indicator, tvs scooty pep gets one.

4. The gear sensor sometimes acts funnily showing you neutral even when you are in 1st gear (tvs will replaced the sensor for free). No problem in other gears.

5. Not a con but a 6th gear could have made this bike a perfect highway machine.

6. Same front brakes on the apache 160 & 200 makes me a little sceptical about the braking but the feedback is reassuring.

7. Not really comfortable above 110kmph, being a naked bike the wind hits you hard.

8. Engine oil capacity is increased to 1.2l due to the addition of oil cooler. If you plan to do the oil change by yourself then you have to buy 2 bottles of engine oil even if you need just 200ml from the 2nd bottle. Next time when you plan to switch to a different oil the left over 800ml bothers you & you get the same oil again.

9. Abs version was announced at the time of launch but it is yet to arrive.

Some tips from my side:

1. Use fully synthetic oil for superior performance. Grade 10w30 or 10w40.

2. Lube the chain every 500-700km & clean it every 1500-2000km.

3. Maintain recommended tire pressure.

4. The apache 200 shares most of the parts with the apache 160 & 180 so parts sourcing won’t be an issue. All shares the same mirrors, levers, pegs, oil filter, front brake assembly etc.

I feel all this makes the apache 200 an all rounder & the only bike you will need for your commute & touring desire.

Thanks to bikewale for providing this review sharing platform.

    The Apache RTR 200 4V is a phenomenal motorcycle and one can cover long journeys with it at ease. However, it gets a five-speed gearbox only and the addition of a sixth gear would have been certainly better for cruising at highway speeds for a long duration of time without stressing the motor. And I am very happy with this.

    It's a good and smooth bike it has two modes also and it is 5 transmissions which give smoothness to the bike and it's average mileage is 40-45. Its design is also awesome and looking like beast. It has 199.7cc super power which gives sufficient power to the bike. But it seats are not that much comfortable.

    Certainly! Here's a more detailed review in 300 words:
    The buying experience of the RTR 200 was seamless, thanks to the knowledgeable dealership staff who guided me through the selection process. They provided valuable insights into the different models available and helped me choose one that suited my preferences. The paperwork was handled efficiently, making the entire purchasing process stress-free and enjoyable.
    Riding the RTR 200 has been an absolute joy. Its powerful engine delivers exhilarating acceleration, making every ride a thrilling experience. Whether navigating through city streets or cruising on the highway, the bike handles with precision and agility. The seating position is comfortable, allowing for extended rides without discomfort.
    In terms of looks and performance, the RTR 200 stands out with its sleek and sporty design. The aggressive styling, coupled with advanced features like dual-channel ABS and LED headlamps, enhances both the aesthetics and safety of the bike. The digital instrument cluster provides all the necessary information at a glance, adding to the convenience factor.
    Servicing and maintenance of the RTR 200 have been hassle-free. The service intervals are reasonable, and spare parts are readily available, ensuring that the bike remains in top condition. The service centers are professional and ensure that the bike is well-maintained, contributing to its longevity and performance on the road.
    While the RTR 200 has numerous pros, including its powerful engine, excellent handling, and attractive design, there are a few minor cons to consider. Some riders may find the seat a bit firm for long rides, and enthusiasts might desire a louder stock exhaust for a more aggressive sound.
    Overall, the RTR 200 offers an exceptional riding experience, blending performance, style, and reliability seamlessly. It's a top choice for riders seeking a thrilling and comfortable ride with modern features and dependable performance.

    Kaushik Sharma

    First of all on paper it seems awesome but in reality it's very different.
    I purchased a 200 4V in dec 2020 and I have covered 28000 kilometres on this bike.
    This bike has problems now and then, and the built quality is very poor. (Sometimes starting issue, battery down issue even though the battery is fully charged etc)
    Like its balancer gets damaged while tackling potholes,
    Its chain sprocket is very poor i had to replace it at 11000 kilometres just to let you know I ride my bike sensibly.
    Its LED light got dim.
    Certain noise comes from the engine kat kat kat
    Whenever I visit the service centre one or more parts have to be replaced for sure.
    Till now I have spent nearly 30k to 35k on this bike.
    Radial tyre got damaged at 21000 km which was shocking as in my area roads are good.
    I will not recommend this bike its on-road price must be eye-catching but after-sales service as well as the built quality is pathetic
    Choose your vehicle wisely.

    Get your chain clean and lube every 250 km to 300 km because its chain gets dry very fast. Service is required at every 2000 km to 2500 km. You need to get your throttle body clean in very alternate servicing. To avoid chain noise replace the chain bottom guide at every 7000 km.

  • The Blue Beast

    7 weeks ago


    Samipendu Das

    Ok, so let me inform others about my ownership review of the Blue Beast. I purchased it on August 1, 2021 in West Bengal. I should say every dealership here will force you to buy their insurance else you have to do RTO registration and insurance through agents (You know why). The ex-showroom price was 1 lakh 36000 and on the road it cost me 1 lakh 70000 bucks. So, Buying experience: 3.5 out of 5.
    Riding experience: That's the sweetest thing TVS can let you experience. The engine is a gem. If you ride it in the city at 5th gear and keep the engine below 4000 R.P.M, or 55 kmph, you will get 45 kmpl+ mileage in the city. I tested my bikes so many times and I can claim it gave me close to 52 kmpl sometimes. But for this ride it is gentle.
    I did a 360 kmpl trip from Kolkata to a forest in Bankura and my speed varied between 70-100 kmph. I got an overall 47 km to a liter. So, this beast will deliver decent mileage if ridden sensibly.
    I once was racing with SBSTC buses (local Lamborghinis) on NH2. During this ride, I achieved a top speed of 134 kmph (It's recorded in the TVS Connect app). Even after 120 kmph, it pulls cleanly. I weigh around 90 Kgs, so, a lighter rider may achieve a speedo indicated 140+kmph too.
    The only concern is the seat. It's hard, very very hard. After 60 kms of riding, your butt will feel severe pain. Pillion seat is the most useless thing on the bike.
    Performance and mileage wise: 5/5
    Comfort: 4/5
    Servicing and Maintenance:
    There is a reminder option in the console and every 3 months you are supposed to do servicing. Engine oil is synthetic and will cost you around 900. Add labor charge and some parts change if required. So you can assume a tight constraint of 1500 INR.
    Reliability: I was in Bangalore for a year, and when I returned, I had to change the battery and fuel Injector which was a major cost (around 10,000). But before that, I covered more than 5000 kms and I never faced a single issue. So, I can assure you it's reliable.
    Reliability: 4/5.
    Pros:
    Engine
    Low Maintenance
    Reliability
    Service
    Cons: Seat
    I hope I have helped readers with all the info. Thanks, have a good day

  • Very bad quality bike I have seen in my life.

    7 weeks ago


    Bhola Naskar

    Do not buy this bike. Service center experience is very poor. The fuel pump problem is a very common problem on this bike. Please don't buy TVS company bike. Customer support is very poor. After-sale service is very poor. After 2 months of use I have faced the issue with my bike. I submit by the bike service center they give me a bike after 40 to 50 days. They change my bike fuel pump. After 1 year by bike facing the same issue. My buying decision this bike is wrong so please don't go to buying this bike. Choose another company I am totally disappointed facing this type of issue.

    First of all on paper it seems awesome but in reality it's very different.
    I purchased a 200 4V in dec 2020 and I have covered 28000 kilometres on this bike.
    This bike has problems now and then, and the built quality is very poor. (Sometimes starting issue, battery down issue even though the battery is fully charged etc)
    Like its balancer gets damaged while tackling potholes,
    Its chain sprocket is very poor i had to replace it at 11000 kilometres just to let you know I ride my bike sensibly.
    Its LED light got dim.
    Certain noise comes from the engine kat kat kat
    Whenever I visit the service centre one or more parts have to be replaced for sure.
    Till now I have spent nearly 30k to 35k on this bike.
    Radial tyre got damaged at 21000 km which was shocking as in my area roads are good.
    I will not recommend this bike its on-road price must be eye-catching but after-sales service as well as the built quality is pathetic
    Choose your vehicle wisely.

    Get your chain clean and lube every 250 km to 300 km because its chain gets dry very fast. Service is required at every 2000 km to 2500 km. You need to get your throttle body clean in very alternate servicing. To avoid chain noise replace the chain bottom guide at every 7000 km.

  • The Blue Beast

    7 weeks ago


    Samipendu Das

    Ok, so let me inform others about my ownership review of the Blue Beast. I purchased it on August 1, 2021 in West Bengal. I should say every dealership here will force you to buy their insurance else you have to do RTO registration and insurance through agents (You know why). The ex-showroom price was 1 lakh 36000 and on the road it cost me 1 lakh 70000 bucks. So, Buying experience: 3.5 out of 5.
    Riding experience: That's the sweetest thing TVS can let you experience. The engine is a gem. If you ride it in the city at 5th gear and keep the engine below 4000 R.P.M, or 55 kmph, you will get 45 kmpl+ mileage in the city. I tested my bikes so many times and I can claim it gave me close to 52 kmpl sometimes. But for this ride it is gentle.
    I did a 360 kmpl trip from Kolkata to a forest in Bankura and my speed varied between 70-100 kmph. I got an overall 47 km to a liter. So, this beast will deliver decent mileage if ridden sensibly.
    I once was racing with SBSTC buses (local Lamborghinis) on NH2. During this ride, I achieved a top speed of 134 kmph (It's recorded in the TVS Connect app). Even after 120 kmph, it pulls cleanly. I weigh around 90 Kgs, so, a lighter rider may achieve a speedo indicated 140+kmph too.
    The only concern is the seat. It's hard, very very hard. After 60 kms of riding, your butt will feel severe pain. Pillion seat is the most useless thing on the bike.
    Performance and mileage wise: 5/5
    Comfort: 4/5
    Servicing and Maintenance:
    There is a reminder option in the console and every 3 months you are supposed to do servicing. Engine oil is synthetic and will cost you around 900. Add labor charge and some parts change if required. So you can assume a tight constraint of 1500 INR.
    Reliability: I was in Bangalore for a year, and when I returned, I had to change the battery and fuel Injector which was a major cost (around 10,000). But before that, I covered more than 5000 kms and I never faced a single issue. So, I can assure you it's reliable.
    Reliability: 4/5.
    Pros:
    Engine
    Low Maintenance
    Reliability
    Service
    Cons: Seat
    I hope I have helped readers with all the info. Thanks, have a good day

  • Very bad quality bike I have seen in my life.

    7 weeks ago


    Bhola Naskar

    Do not buy this bike. Service center experience is very poor. The fuel pump problem is a very common problem on this bike. Please don't buy TVS company bike. Customer support is very poor. After-sale service is very poor. After 2 months of use I have faced the issue with my bike. I submit by the bike service center they give me a bike after 40 to 50 days. They change my bike fuel pump. After 1 year by bike facing the same issue. My buying decision this bike is wrong so please don't go to buying this bike. Choose another company I am totally disappointed facing this type of issue.

    The Apache RTR 200 4V is a phenomenal motorcycle and one can cover long journeys with it at ease. However, it gets a five-speed gearbox only and the addition of a sixth gear would have been certainly better for cruising at highway speeds for a long duration of time without stressing the motor. And I am very happy with this.

    It's a good and smooth bike it has two modes also and it is 5 transmissions which give smoothness to the bike and it's average mileage is 40-45. Its design is also awesome and looking like beast. It has 199.7cc super power which gives sufficient power to the bike. But it seats are not that much comfortable.

    The Apache RTR 200 4V is decently powerful and it gets an oil-cooled motor. But, a bit more power and the addition of a liquid-cooling system like the Pulsar NS 200 would have made it certainly better than ever before.

    Change the engine oil after every 2000km because after 2000km it's power goes down.

    The Apache RTR 200 4V is a phenomenal motorcycle and one can cover long journeys with it at ease. However, it gets a five-speed gearbox only and the addition of a sixth gear would have been certainly better for cruising at highway speeds for a long duration of time without stressing the motor. And I am very happy with this.

    The Apache RTR 200 4V is decently powerful and it gets an oil-cooled motor. But, a bit more power and the addition of a liquid-cooling system like the Pulsar NS 200 would have made it certainly better than ever before.

They provided valuable insights into the different models available and helped me choose one that suited my preferences. The paperwork was handled efficiently, making the entire purchasing process stress-free and enjoyable.

Whether navigating through city streets or cruising on the highway, the bike handles with precision and agility. The seating position is comfortable, allowing for extended rides without discomfort.
    In terms of looks and performance, the RTR 200 stands out with its sleek and sporty design. The aggressive styling, coupled with advanced features like dual-channel ABS and LED headlamps, enhances both the aesthetics and safety of the bike.

    First of all on paper it seems awesome but in reality it's very different.
    I purchased a 200 4V in dec 2020 and I have covered 28000 kilometres on this bike.
    This bike has problems now and then, and the built quality is very poor. (Sometimes starting issue, battery down issue even though the battery is fully charged etc)
    Like its balancer gets damaged while tackling potholes,
    Its chain sprocket is very poor i had to replace it at 11000 kilometres just to let you know I ride my bike sensibly.
    Its LED light got dim.
    Certain noise comes from the engine kat kat kat
    Whenever I visit the service centre one or more parts have to be replaced for sure.
    Till now I have spent nearly 30k to 35k on this bike.
    Radial tyre got damaged at 21000 km which was shocking as in my area roads are good.
    I will not recommend this bike its on-road price must be eye-catching but after-sales service as well as the built quality is pathetic
    Choose your vehicle wisely.

    Tips for other riders

    Get your chain clean and lube every 250 km to 300 km because its chain gets dry very fast. Service is required at every 2000 km to 2500 km. You need to get your throttle body clean in very alternate servicing. To avoid chain noise replace the chain bottom guide at every 7000 km.

  • The Blue Beast

    7 weeks ago


    Samipendu Das

    Ok, so let me inform others about my ownership review of the Blue Beast. I purchased it on August 1, 2021 in West Bengal. I should say every dealership here will force you to buy their insurance else you have to do RTO registration and insurance through agents (You know why). The ex-showroom price was 1 lakh 36000 and on the road it cost me 1 lakh 70000 bucks. So, Buying experience: 3.5 out of 5.
    Riding experience: That's the sweetest thing TVS can let you experience. The engine is a gem. If you ride it in the city at 5th gear and keep the engine below 4000 R.P.M, or 55 kmph, you will get 45 kmpl+ mileage in the city. I tested my bikes so many times and I can claim it gave me close to 52 kmpl sometimes. But for this ride it is gentle.
    I did a 360 kmpl trip from Kolkata to a forest in Bankura and my speed varied between 70-100 kmph. I got an overall 47 km to a liter. So, this beast will deliver decent mileage if ridden sensibly.
    I once was racing with SBSTC buses (local Lamborghinis) on NH2. During this ride, I achieved a top speed of 134 kmph (It's recorded in the TVS Connect app). Even after 120 kmph, it pulls cleanly. I weigh around 90 Kgs, so, a lighter rider may achieve a speedo indicated 140+kmph too.
    The only concern is the seat. It's hard, very very hard. After 60 kms of riding, your butt will feel severe pain. Pillion seat is the most useless thing on the bike.
    Performance and mileage wise: 5/5
    Comfort: 4/5
    Servicing and Maintenance:
    There is a reminder option in the console and every 3 months you are supposed to do servicing. Engine oil is synthetic and will cost you around 900. Add labor charge and some parts change if required. So you can assume a tight constraint of 1500 INR.
    Reliability: I was in Bangalore for a year, and when I returned, I had to change the battery and fuel Injector which was a major cost (around 10,000). But before that, I covered more than 5000 kms and I never faced a single issue. So, I can assure you it's reliable.
    Reliability: 4/5.
    Pros:
    Engine
    Low Maintenance
    Reliability
    Service
    Cons: Seat
    I hope I have helped readers with all the info. Thanks, have a good day

  • Very bad quality bike I have seen in my life.

    7 weeks ago


    Bhola Naskar

    Do not buy this bike. Service center experience is very poor. The fuel pump problem is a very common problem on this bike. Please don't buy TVS company bike. Customer support is very poor. After-sale service is very poor. After 2 months of use I have faced the issue with my bike. I submit by the bike service center they give me a bike after 40 to 50 days. They change my bike fuel pump. After 1 year by bike facing the same issue. My buying decision this bike is wrong so please don't go to buying this bike. Choose another company I am totally disappointed facing this type of issue.
