TVS Motor Company is for the first time offering Electronic Fuel Injection technology in the 160cc category. The new technology, which consists of an Electronic Control Unit (ECU) made up of sensors, fuel pump and injector. ECU receives the data from sensors, processes them and delivers optimum fuel and ignition timing. The Electronic Fuel Injection technology offers better engine smoothness, faster throttle response, lower emissions, good cold start and recovery, better idle stability, good drivability, better fuel economy and performance consistency at various altitudes and environments. The Apache RTR EFI also offers instantaneous response throughout the rev range. Another first time offering in this segment would be the rear disc brake facility.

grrr...chor log....TVS is copycat of bajaj...first the DTSI now the feul injection and also the rear disk brakes.....frankly guys save some more money and get a pulsar.Beware TVS launches its bikes on lousy pencil thin TVS tyres(for a better average of course) which skid on literally everthing.....MRF zappers you get in 200 cc+ pulsars are really good and they are tubless.
Well cant say that TVS is a chor , but much better than H.honda who is just doing sticker job all the past few year. I guess its the bikkers who are going to benifit out of this war.
Anyone knows.. when is it launching?? I am looking forward to riding it..
would appreciate if anyone knows how to go about fitting an ecu and a fuel injector to fiero.
@nabin Apache RTR 160 Efi would be available in Dec 2007- Jan 2008
who said tht TVS r chor log..
they r better than pulsar which has the fault when it is released tht tank hits our main part..
then they changed it.
but TVS is not like tht giving the ultimate have u ever ride the RTR 160 itz rocking beats the pulsar 200 CC+ easily wat do u think abt tht.
now itz FI want to see howz tht..
hey guys no one is chor yaar.
u know all things these companies launching in india now is already launched in heavy bikes in other countories. so they just applying that features in india.
@darth:
It was just a matter of time that carburettors had to make way for FI systems. If TVS is a "chor" then the same can be said of Bajaj also, as Hero Honda was the 1st company to launch FI in it's glamour motorcycle.How about that?
Besides, TVS motorcycles are the best-performing bikes in their category(150 cc class) and with FI, we can only expect things to get better. Kindly go through the technical specifications of RTR, and you'll instantly know that TVS has done so much more than just a "head-polishing" job.
As for the tyres, I agree with you that TVS tyres are no match for zappers, and I myself had changed the tyres on my own bike. Funny thing is, nowadays Bajaj has started shipping pulsars with TVS tyres!! But sticking to zappers is the best option, as far as 150 cc bikes go. Dont be too keen on pulsar 200/220 rear tyres, coz they are 120/80 profile, a bit too HEALTHY for a 150 cc class bike:)
