TVS Apache RTR FI: The 160 gets fuel injection!
The pic is the old Apache. You see, the the RTR FI only sports a new set of stickers to separate it from the normal carburetted RTR. The other difference visually being the optional rear disc should you opt for one. The price difference has not been announced but I would put the estimate at between Rs 3,000 (brilliant pricing) and Rs 5,000 (all right). The extra money goes towards even better midrange and top-end and very, very crisp throttle response. The launch is expected to arrive and capture the Diwali rush.
The new Apache EFI
TVS Motor Company is for the first time offering Electronic Fuel Injection technology in the 160cc category. The new technology, which consists of an Electronic Control Unit (ECU) made up of sensors, fuel pump and injector. ECU receives the data from sensors, processes them and delivers optimum fuel and ignition timing. The Electronic Fuel Injection technology offers better engine smoothness, faster throttle response, lower emissions, good cold start and recovery, better idle stability, good drivability, better fuel economy and performance consistency at various altitudes and environments. The Apache RTR EFI also offers instantaneous response throughout the rev range. Another first time offering in this segment would be the rear disc brake facility.
