2020 Apache RTR 200 4V Spied Testing With LED Headlamp

A new test version of the TVS Apache RTR 200 4V has been spotted testing recently, and the spy image reveals a new split-LED headlamp on the motorcycle. The test bike was spotted in Hosur, Tamil Nadu, where the bike maker's production facility is located. It is likely that this is the BS6 compliant version of the Apache RTR 200 4V being tested. The LED headlight gets separate reflectors for low beam and high beam, but the daytime running lights from the current unit seem to have been given a miss. The feature will be a nice addition to the sporty motorcycle and will help the two-wheeler maker add more value when the prices go up for the BS6 version.

Apart from the new LED headlamp, it is difficult to say if the updated TVS Apache RTR 200 4V will get any design changes. That said, you can expect to see new decals, colour options and changes to the instrument console. It will be interesting to see if TVS will introduce Bluetooth-based smartphone connectivity on the Apache 200, taking a page out of the NTorq 125's book. The LED headlamp will also help differentiate the Apache RTR 200 4V from the Apache RTR 160 4V, with the latter being a bit too identical in design.

The biggest change will come to the engine on the TVS Apache RTR 200 4V. The 197.75 cc single-cylinder, oil-cooled motor will continue but is likely to be offered only in the fuel-injected version and will receive tweaks to meet the BS6 emission regulations. In its current set-up, the FI version churns out 20.4 bhp and 18.1 Nm of peak torque. The carburettor variant is likely to discontinue post the April 1 2020, deadline.

The TVS Apache RTR 200 4V FI is presently priced at Rs. 1.10 lakh. This version though does not get ABS yet, which is only offered on the carb version and is priced at Rs. 1.11 lakh  (all prices, ex-showroom Delhi). So, expect to see a substantial price hike when the BS6 version arrives, possibly by the end of this year or in early 2020.

Brixton 1200 To Rival Triumph Bonneville T120

Image
A 1200 cc modern classic with similar design lines as Triumph's iconic Bonneville series, has reportedly been cleared for production. The bike was showcased as a concept at last year's EICMA motorcycle show, and from the looks of it, this is a model developed in China with the Triumph Bonneville T120 in its sights. The Brixton brand though is part of Austria's KSR Group, which imports bikes from several Chinese manufacturers, including CF Moto. And while the new Bonneville rival will be manufactured in China, the design and engineering has been created at KSR's design centre in Krups, Austria.

Zongshen Cyclone RX6 Based On Norton 650 Nearing Completion

Image
While there still doesn't seem to be a buyer for iconic British brand Norton Motorcycles which went into administration in January this year, the firm's 650 cc parallel-twin seems to be finding life in China. While Norton apparently sold off the engine rights of its 961 engine to China's Jinglang just before the brand went into administration, the deal for the 650 cc engine was finalized way back in 2017 with Chinese giant Zongshen. The 650 cc parallel-twin engine was due to be used in Norton's Atlas and Superlight models, but now it looks like that engine platform will make its debut in a Zongshen motorcycle, called the Cyclone R6.
