It is being said that the test mule has been spied near TVS Motor Company’s manufacturing plant in Hosur. The prototype is equipped with features such as a single-piece seat, single-piece pillion grail rail, long rear fender, LED taillight and a side-mounted exhaust.

The spied motorcycle also has disc brakes at both ends. Its suspension setup includes a pair of USD forks at the front and a mono-shock at the rear. It also appears to have a circular instrument cluster.

Although the engine is not visible in the spy shots, an oil cooler can be seen right next to the crash guard. As per the media reports, this bike could use the same 159.7cc, single-cylinder, oil-cooled engine that powers the TVS Apache RTR 160 4V.

The bike looks really compact. The tires look small. Maybe just the angle of the photograph. The test mule looks like an early version. The launch most likely next year.

This is a good platform for the 160 Apache engine!
