Early impressions suggest the bike is a good balance of sport and comfort:
- The USD forks give the front end more control, especially when cornering or braking hard.

- Despite the stiffer setup, TVS has kept comfort intact, with good seat padding and minimal vibrations.
- Ride modes still adapt well to different situations: Sport for fun, Urban for traffic, Rain for caution.
Verdict
The 2025 Apache RTR 200 4V is not a full overhaul but an upgrade. TVS has worked on rider control and compliance while keeping the bike’s soul intact. If you want a 200cc streetfighter with features, the updated RTR 200 is still in the running. The price hike is justified for what’s now a better package.
