TVS Apache RTR 165 RP trademark filed

TVS has also trademarked the term 'TVS RP Race Performance'.

TVS has filed a trademark application for the 'TVS Apache RTR 165 RP' name. This has led to speculations that the bike maker could be working on a sportier version of the Apache RTR 160 4V.

Reports suggest that the Apache RTR 165 RP could use the same 159.7cc, single-cylinder engine as the RTR 160 4V. The engine could be rebored to increase its displacement. In its current form, it produces 17 BHP and 15 Nm.

TVS has also trademarked the term 'TVS RP Race Performance'. It is said that the RTR 165 RP could be sold under the bike maker's 'Race Performance' sub-brand.
