Hi all,

According to the news TVS would be launching this new mean machine sometime during Diwali..

This is going to be a more powerful version of the "Apache".
Some specifications:

Expected Price: 75k

Expected BHP: 18bhp

Expected Top Speed: 135kmph

Expected Colors: yellow, orange, black and maybe lime green

Expected Performance changes: higher compression ratio, Fi

Expected Body changes: less weight, semi naked fairing fixed type, projector lamps, 120 rear, rear disc

Expected Rubber profile: 100 front, 120 rear, mixed compound

This is great news for TVS fans..keep your fingers crossed!!

TVS Apache 180 soon – The Menace | Nitin Khatri's Blog

80K on road

seems like TVS is going the bajaj way, I just wish they get this engine smother than the RTR,

Both bajaj and TVS are playing around with a single engine. Why cant they do something new?

Nice name. No pix? 100/120, emm, would be too much right?

Hhaaha JK, just what i though after the HH's passion, glamous et all that.
Lately there has been a spurt of TVS, only if they can hold it together for the 'menace' they'd have something to look ahead.

Well as of now nothing is fixed the features & prices listed are all speculative.

@Ruffryder: it would be good if you also quote the source of your post.

this might help
The bike might have an under seat exhaust (remember chicane)

Menace??

They're seriously running out of ideas for motorcycle names in India. The nickname for this bike would be Dennis, I guess?

Mohave would've been a good successor to Apache. Menace doesnt sound menacing enough - it sounds more like a nuisance.
