TVS will be launching the FI version of the Apache in the 2nd week of June. In addition to the features that the Apache RTR 160 already has, the Fi version comes with these added features :
– The digital display has a feature to test the top speed achieved. It can be re-set to zero and then again you can zip and see the top speed achieved
– You can also test your 0-60km/h timing on the digital display, reset it, and do it again and again
– The rear disc comes as standard
– No choke
– No reserve knob
– The Fi will cost around 7000 more than the RTR 160, making it as costly as the Pulsar 200 but the RTR FI should be faster and more fun to ride.
More info on the Apache FI after the jump.
