2016 TVS Apache prototype front spied — The 2016 TVS Apache is reported to receive ABS as an option.

The all-digital instrument console on the 2016 Apache shows the vehicle speed, engine speed, trip reading, odo reading, time, gear engaged, service reminder and the fuel level; while the standard indication lights for the turn indicators, high beam and the like are placed just beneath the LCD screen. It is reported that an indication light for ABS is also present in the instrument cluster, but the test mule does not have ABS-compliant disc rotors suggesting that the safety feature will not be offered as standard.

The other features to be noted from these spyshots are, the Draken-inspired styling, some cues from the existing Apache too like the brake-kit, a regular fork, a monoshock, sizable split seats, inverted grab handles, and a long exhaust can.
