Engineered by TVS for the sport motorcycle segment, the 2009 TVS Apache 150 utilizes a 147.4 cc (9 cu in) single cylinder, four-stroke layout. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 9.9 HP (7.2 kW) at 8,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 12.3 Nm (9.1 lb-ft) at 6,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox. With a specific output of 67.2 HP per liter and a 2,000 rpm working window between peak torque (6,500 rpm) and peak power (8,500 rpm), the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.
On the scales, the Apache 150 measures 136 kg (300 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.07 HP/kg (13.74 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 1,260 mm (49.6 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 16-liter (4.2 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
