TVS Motor Company, the Hosur-based South Indian motorcycle maker, has silently come up with the matte red colour scheme for the Apache RTR lineup of motorcycles. The new TVS Apache RTR Matte Red edition covers all the three motorcycles sold in the range, which includes the 160, the 180 and the 200 4V. Other than the new paint scheme, the popular motorcycles don’t get any changes to their specifications and mileage. Even the design remains exactly the same, with the only difference in the looks arising due to the new colour. Prices of these motorcycles get an increment of Rs 1,000, which, we think, is justified thru the new matte red paint shade.
