TVS Apache turns 20, and to celebrate this remarkable journey, TVS Motor Company has launched exclusive limited-edition models and new top-spec trims in its popular Apache range. With over 6.5 million units sold worldwide, Apache has become one of the strongest pillars of TVS in the motorcycle segment, rivaling Bajaj’s Pulsar range and creating a cult following among enthusiasts.
For two decades, Apache has stood for performance, adrenaline, and style. Now, as the brand celebrates its 20-year milestone, TVS has rolled out special editions of its Apache RTR series and RR 310 to honor the legacy and reward its loyal customer base.
20 Years of TVS Apache – A Legacy of Performance
When the first Apache rolled out, it was designed to bring sporty styling and performance to Indian riders who wanted more than just a commuter bike. Over the years, the Apache family expanded into multiple engine categories, catering to everyone from entry-level enthusiasts to riders looking for high-performance sports bikes.
Today, the Apache lineup includes models like RTR 160, RTR 180, RTR 200, RTR 310, and RR 310, each designed to offer a balance of power, technology, and sharp design. Apache has also been a flagship in racing-inspired technology, which is why TVS often refers to it as a motorcycle “born out of racing.”
K N Radhakrishnan, Director and CEO of TVS Motor Company, highlighted the brand’s success by saying:
“We are deeply grateful to the 6.5 million-strong TVS Apache community across the world whose unwavering trust and passion have shaped our journey over the last two decades. Their love for performance and adrenaline has propelled TVS Apache to become one of the fastest growing sports motorcycle brands, globally.”
