Performance: Precision Meets Power

A track-ready motorcycle, optional extras like a bi-directional quickshifter and slipper clutch improve ride refinement.

Though sporty, the Apache 2025 boasts rather good fuel economy. Thanks to its fuel-injected engine and environmentally efficient throttle mapping in Urban mode, TVS promises 40kmpl under ideal conditions, while actual values range between 35–38kmpl.

Its capacity to mix power with economy makes a performance-oriented bike a sensible option for weekend trips and daily commuting.
