The digital console on the TVS Apache 200 has been updated to show SmartXonnect information

The TVS Apache RTR 200 4V has been developed with inputs from the company's racing arm, and the updated features are intended to further establish the  Apache as a race machine. The new TVS SmartXonnect feature can be accessed by downloading the mobile app from the Google Play Store or iOS App Store. The system uses the gyroscopic sensor on the user's phone to record the rider's lean angle through the corners, which are then displayed on the digital console. The Race Telemetry works as a data recorder summarising all the essential data at the end of every race or ride. The Crash Alert System is a safety addition and will notify the rider's emergency contacts within three minutes when the bike senses a fall.

In terms of power, the TVS Apache RTR 200 4V continues to use the same BS4 compliant 197.75 cc single-cylinder motor, tuned for 20 bhp and 18.1 Nm of peak torque on the carburetted version. The motor is paired with a 5-speed gearbox and a slipper clutch. Suspension duties are handled by telescopic forks up front and a monoshock at the rear, with disc brakes at either end taking care of stopping power. The bike gets dual-channel ABS as standard on the motorcycle. The updated Apache will be available in black and white shades initially, with contrast racing decals and a fly screen.

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.
