Introduction: TVS has once again introduced its popular streetfighter bike, the Apache RTR 200 4V, in a new avatar in 2025. In this updated version, the brand has not only refreshed the design but has also made it more advanced technically. Now this bike comes with an engine according to OBD2B norms, which includes features like USD front suspension, Smartxonnect technology, and teen riding modes. This bike, full of its aggressive looks and performance, has already gained tremendous popularity among the youth, and this 2025 version makes it even better.
Design Updates: The 2025 Apache RTR 200 4V has received several significant design changes that make the bike look much more sporty and premium than before. First of all, it has been given three new color options: glossy black, matte black, and granite grey, the combination of which with red alloy wheels gives it a bold streetfighter look. The bike's fuel tank and side panels have been given new race-inspired graphics that further enhance its visual appeal.
Keeping the riding comfort in mind, the old clip-on has been replaced by a new double hydroformed single-piece handlebar that offers better ergonomics for both city riding and long riders. Apart from this, the front gets boomerang drills along with a sharp and aggressive LED headlamp, while the taillight and indicators are also now completely LED units. The bike's muscular fuel tank shoulder extension and tank design have now become even more youthful in shape and track-ready.

Engine and Performance: The 2025 Apache RTR 200 4V comes with the same reliable 197.75cc oil-cooled single-cylinder engine that has now been updated to comply with OBD2B norms. This engine produces around 20.82 ps of power at 9000 rpm and 17.25 Nm of torque at 7500 rpm. It comes with a 5-speed gearbox with a slipper clutch that not only makes gear shifting smooth but also maintains the bike's stability during downshifts.
TVS has introduced this bike with three riding modes: sport, urban, and rain. In sport mode the bike performs with its full power and throttle response, while in urban and rain modes the power and sensitivity of ABS are controlled a bit for better control in traffic and on slippery roads.
The biggest feature of this engine is its racing origin; it has been developed with the experience of TVS's racing team. That's why it not only gives fast acceleration but also keeps the bike stable at high speeds. Whether you are driving in the city or on the open highway, the engine of the Apache RTR 200 4V gives you a balanced performance in every mode.
Braking and Safety: Many important updates have been made to improve the braking and safety of the 2025 Apache RTR 2004V. The bike has been given dual-channel ABS, which not only gives equal control on both the wheels but also prevents the bike from slipping during emergency braking. ABS works differently according to the three riding modes. ABS is most active in rain mode, which maintains safety even on wet roads.
The braking system has a 270mm petal disc brake at the front and a 240mm disc brake at the rear. These petal discs not only provide better braking performance but also help in quickly reducing the heat of the disc during hard braking.
Apart from this, glide-through technology is also included for the safety of the bike, which allows the bike to run smoothly at low speeds without the use of an accelerator. This feature proves to be very helpful, especially in traffic.
In terms of safety, TVS has included all the technology in this bike that is required for a performance-oriented and safe ride. The Apache RTR 2004V is not only fast but is also completely reliable in terms of safety.
Suspension: In the 2025 Apache RTR 200 4V, TVS has made the suspension system even more advanced and premium than before. Now this bike has been given Showa's golden finish USD forks in the front, which provide better handling, strong stability, and a sporty riding experience as compared to the earlier telescopic forks.
At the rear, Showa monoshock suspension has been given, which can be tuned with preload adjustment. This setup maintains balance even during fast-mode braking and on bad roads.
Due to this advanced suspension system, the Apache RTR 200 4V now handles itself better in traffic, on rough roads, and at high-speed cruising in three situations. Whether you are in the streets of the city or on a winding highway, this suspension gives you a comfortable and controlled ride everywhere.
Features, Technology and Connectivity: TVS has not only made the 2025 Apache RTR 200 4V strong in performance, but it has also been equipped with advanced technology and smart features that make it the most feature-loaded bike in this segment.
First of all, let's talk about its fully digital negative LCD instrument console, which comes with Bluetooth-supported SmartConnect technology. It provides information to the rider like call alerts, SMS alerts, turn-by-turn navigation, gear position indicator, lap timer, and crash alert.
Features like ride logs, trip data, service reminders, navigation history, and bike diagnostics can also be accessed through TVS's TVS Connect App, meaning the Apache RTR 200 4V is no longer just a bike but a smart machine.
