Apart from the wheelbase and the wheels, there are no major changes made to the double-down tube cradle frame and the RTR retains the same underpinnings as seen on the RTR The wheelbase now measures mm, lengthened by 26mm over the RTR This move has considerably helped in giving the Apache RTR a much stable feel on the road.
On a race-track, a slightly twitchier motorcycle will be better in terms of handling as it will tip-in quickly with less effort and help reduce the time spent going into a corner. But on the road and under real world conditions, the handling needs to be complimented by stability for obvious reasons like safety and to aid the confidence inspiring ability of the bike.
The older Apache was ultra-flickable into corners but severely lacked mid-corner stability and its tendency to tip over quickly into corners was more scary than friendly on the street for many. The increased wheelbase is the most striking change and a welcomed one on the new RTR The bike feels much more planted on the road, mid-corner and definitely more street-friendly than ever before. Another change is the adoption of 17" wheel on the rear as against the 18" inch rear wheel incorporated on the previous Apache models.
The RTR also gets a mm diameter petal disc for the rear while upfront it incorporates a mm petal disc. The suspension duties for the front are handled by mm telescopic forks and the TVS exclusive Monotube Inverted Gas filled shocks MIG with spring aid twin shock absorbers employed on the rear are well upto the task of taking hard thrashing, be it bumpy roads or hard-cornering. However, the ride is not as plush on the new RTR compared to its rivals and suspension feels a bit stiffer than before - but that only helps in giving the Apache a sportier handling and providing precise feedback.
Finally, India is witnessing performance wars in the motorcycle industry and bike-makers are slowly upping the ante in terms of performance of their products. While Yamaha stunned the competition with its YZF-R15 last year, this year Bajaj Auto went all out with the new Pulsar DTSi - a blow which landed directly on each and every manufacturer in India trying to make a mark in the premium motorcycle segment.
The TVS products have always been competitive but the top honour of being the fastest bike in the market has been evading them ever since they entered the premium segment with the Fiero.
With the increased displacement and additional horses the RTR recorded an impressive top speed figure of How could they better it more? Yes, it might have been our favourite because of its strong racing credentials on the track and its enthusiastic engine waiting to be revved hard, but on the street, the jerky power delivery, twitchy handling and vibrations sure made it a difficult bike to ride around stop and go traffic.
This is what has been bettered on the new RTR , big time. The power delivery is still a bit jerky and pesky in stop and go traffic, but a lot more tractable than the It is more street-friendly and handy and the motor revs freely upwards of 3,rpm.
The digital instrumentation layout remains same as the RTR but gets a white dial making it more legible than before. But then again, TVS has faltered with its choice of tyres. The TVS rubber seriously hampers the joy of cornering as it fails to provide precise feedback. The increased displacement and wider tyre directly affects the bike's fuel efficiency to some extent but considering its performance and weight, the overall fuel consumption figure of With a fuel tank capacity of 16 litres, it gives the bike an impressive tank range of km.
Competitive pricing is the key of the new Apache RTR Priced at Rs. Hence, for bikers looking for something that has best of both worlds with class-leading features, the new RTR makes a lot of sense. However, the competition is just equally well matched in terms of value-for-money and performance - two key areas that help in making the final purchase decision, in this segment. Good but too costly price now. Very smooth but chain is periodically jam. Front lamp not enough also hazy. Safest bike i ever experienced.

For the same purpose, we have separated the entire comparison into few key heads:- Pricing: Apache RTR is a clear winner in this regard, priced only at Rs. Weight: Being a cruiser bike, the Royal Enfield Thunderbird weighs the most i. Engine Performance: The engine of the Thunderbird is the best, leaving the other three bikes nowhere near the competition. On the other hand, the other three bikes perform as follows: Bajaj Pulsar - It houses a Yamaha YZF R15 2.
Fuel economy and tank capacity: All four bikes provide a fuel efficiency of somewhat 45 kmpl. Talking about the other three bikes:- Bajaj Pulsar - This bike has telescopic forks with an anti-friction bush on the front end and 5-way adjustable Nitrox shock absorbers on the rear end. Royal Enfield Thunderbird - This bike has telescopic forks at the front end and twin gas-charged shock absorbers on the rear end. This makes us conclude that the suspension system on Apache RTR is way too good as compared to others, given the price range.
