TVS has launched the TVS Apache RTR 200 4V 2025 model in Indian showrooms officially, and it brings some interesting updates with it. Although the fundamental engine is the same, the new model features aesthetic updates, improved suspension, and updated tech features to appeal to both the weekday crowd and the performance seekers. Here’s a comprehensive rundown of everything that’s new in the 2025 Apache RTR 200 4V.
New Look & Design
The 2025 Apache RTR 200 4V boasts a new face with:
1. New metallic shades
2. Fresh graphics on the tank and panels
3. Bold “RTR 200 4V” and “E20” decals
4. Aggressive and sporty stance that follows in the Apache tradition.
TVS has revamped the fuel tank section with graphics that stand out and better finishing. The rear section now features an LED taillight, but it retains halogen indicators—a minor drawback in an otherwise cutting-edge design.
Updated Features in TVS Apache RTR 200 4V 2025

Engine & Performance

1. 199.6cc, single-cylinder, oil-cooled, 4-valve engine.
2. Max power: ~20.5 PS
3. Peak torque: ~17 Nm.
4. 5-speed gearbox – the only element that feels a bit dated compared to some competitors that have 6-speed transmissions

Though sharing identical core specs, the engine has been much more polished, cutting down on vibrations and providing a smoother riding experience.

1. Turn-by-turn directions
2. Call/SMS notifications
3. High-speed capturing
4. 0–60 km/h timer

7. Digital display, clear, informative and easy to read, informs riders of all important information in real time
Riding Experience & Comfort
1. Sporty riding position with split seat
2. Front seat is okay, but rear seat best for short journeys
3. The new USD forks and tuned engine improve ride quality
4. Tank capacity still 12 litres, good range for urban and short motorway use
Though not the most tour-friendly bike, the Apache 200 4V can balance regular commuting and the odd spirited ride quite well.
Tyres, Brakes & Safety

2. Rear Tyre: 130/70 section
3. Front Brake: Disc with ABS
4. Rear Brake: Disc with ABS

This renders it one of the most value-for-money 200cc bikes in India, given the features provided.

Though a 6-speed gearbox and full-LED lighting would have made it even more fantastic, with its price point as it is now, it still offers huge value.
If you’re in the market for a sporty commuter that can also handle weekend thrills, the new Apache RTR 200 4V is definitely worth a test ride.
