TVS APACHE ALL NEW RTR SERIES MORE AGGRESSIVE AND HIGH TECH - Kencangnya Mendebarkan!
Jakarta, 11 June 2012 – PT TVS Motor Company Indonesia, motorcycle producer from India, part of the TVS Group which was established since 1911 and is trusted by more than 40 million owners throughout the world in more than 40 countries, launches the TVS Apache All New RTR (Racing Throttle Response) Series, the sports motorcycle variant which is familiar to Indonesian motorcycle enthusiasts.
TVS Apache has been introduced since 2008 under the TVS Apache RTR 160 cc brand when PT TVS Motor Company Indonesia was present in Indonesia. Now there is one more variant, the TVS Apache RTR 180 cc.
“The TVS Apache RTR brand has been very well received in Indonesia and throughout the world. To expand the market in this country, while at the same time build the pride of owners, we are presenting the TVS Apache RTR 180 and the new look of the TVS Apache RTR 160 cc. With the tagline Kencangnya Mendebarkan, we believe that the TVS Apache All New RTR Series which are high tech and now designed more aggressively, will increasingly be accepted by the Indonesian people,” said R. Anandakrishnan, President Director of PT TVS Motor Company Indonesia.
Motorcycles continue to become the transportation of choice as they are effective and realistic in fulfilling the needs of the Indonesian people. Particularly sports motorcycles. This can be seen from the data of AISI (Asosiasi Industri Sepeda Motor Indonesia) which indicated that sales continue to show significant growth. The 2011 national motorcycle sales came to 8,043,535 units of which 8.05% or about 647,324 units were the sports variant.
And it seems that the figures will continue to escalate, as from the total motorcycle sales in 2012 which are expected to reach 9 million units, the sports type may reach 10-15% or about 900,000 to 1,350,000 units. This is due to the increasingly competitive sports variants with their range of models and features.
Naturally, it is not enough to discuss the macho appearance of motorcycles, particularly the sports variant, or the super power. But the needs for sports motorcycles cover the completeness of comfort features, amazing appearance, futuristic, modern and friendly model, as well as having the required engine power for all types of roads. All these features are found in the TVS Apache Series 160 cc as well as the 180 cc.
Despite the similarities of the two, there is quite a significant difference. Particularly in terms of engine capacity. TVS Apache RTR 160 cc is targeting young people who are stylish, hip and enjoy adrenalin raising speed. While the TVS Apache RTR 180 cc, is targeted more to bikers who are more mature and established, who want a daily transportation which is powerful, fast, with great appearance, macho and comfortable to use for all activities.
“The TVS Apache All New RTR Series are introduced for bikers who like performance and speed. The design is more aggressive, with ergonomical racing nuance and enticing prominent curve design. Of course it is affixed with sophisticated features as in all TVS motorcycles such as the LED headlamp, RTR engine, Sculpted Digital Display to the Muscled Engine Cow with an air scoop which is able to spectacularly reduce engine heat up to 10 degrees,” added R. Anandakrishnan.
