TVS is finally getting ready to take the cover of the next motorcycle in its Apache RTR lineup. The new bike will feature a 200cc engine with technical support from BMW Motorrad and will be called the Apache RTR 200.

At the 2014 Auto Expo, TVS had shown us the Draken concept for the Apache RTR 200. The concept had left the Apache loyalists begging for the actual thing to come out quickly, and finally two years later, TVS is ready to deliver on that promise.

The new bike borrows heavily from the Draken concept. The engine will be a rebored version of the 180cc engine on the Apache RTR 180 but the cooling system for the motorcycle has been developed by BMW.

Its main rivals will be the TM Duke 200, Bajaj Pulsar, and the Benelli TNT25. The KTM has been the king of the segment since the time it was launched and thus what remains to be seen is that will TVS be able to dethrone it.
