Posted on Saturday, September 19, 2009 at 7:33 AM by Aadarsh Singh




TVS Apache is a performance bike from TVS. It is a splendid fusion of contemporary design and engineering.

TVS Apache is attractively styled. It has superb finish with lines that flow smoothly, seamlessly, with everything sitting flawlessly flush. The bike has a unique, stocky, but muscular design theme. TVS Apache's arrow shaped headlamp and fairing combo along with triangular front mudguard impart it a more aerodynamic look.

The large 16-litre fuel tank gives TVS Apache's front a heavy look. Apache's elongated tank design and the lower height ensure that its centre of gravity is closer to the ground.

TVS Apache's special build features include a dual cradle chassis, six-spoke, matt-black finished alloy wheels, aluminium die-cast sub-frames, rectangular-section swing arm for the rear wheel and a straight, low-set handle bar that offers the rider a lean-forward position while astride the bike.

TVS Apache is powered by a 147.5cc engine, that delivers a peak power of 13.5 bhp at 8,500 rpm. The engine is loaded with innovative features such as intake and exhaust resonators for better low-end torque; high voltage spark plug that produces a longer flame front, which also ensures that spark duration lasts as much as six times longer; RCF Technology that enables all gear start; and low friction roller cams and a constant velocity (CV) carburetor that result in better fuel efficiency.
