What is slipper clutch feature in newly lauched TVS Apache RTR 200 4V?

The leading two wheeler TVS always comes with unique features to enhance the performance of their bikes and they have recently, launched a new version of the Apache RTR 200 4V in India that is equipped with a slipper clutch.

This is the first bike in its segment that has got such a unique feature. The slipper clutch increases the performance of the bike and gives a rider smooth ride.

This feature works on the principle of friction and reduces 22% friction in clutch force for the up-shifts that allows the rider to post better lap times. The slipper clutch also reduces wheel-hopping while doing high-speed downshifts.The Apache 200 4V is the first bike from TVS to get a slipper clutch.

The bike is available in three models–Rs. 95185 (Carburetor), Rs. 107885 (EFI) and Rs. 108985 (Carburetor with ABS), (Ex-showroom Delhi).

The new TVS Apache RTR 200 4V is one of the most talked-about bikes on the market today. This modern-looking bike is a performance bike that talks a good game, and it's got some high-tech features to match. This is how slipper clutch can make all the difference:
A slipper clutch allows for easy changing of gears and low-effort deceleration. The principle behind them is simple, but it does take some time to get used to! When you're going up a hill or squeezing between cars at slow speeds, for example, your engine crankshaft is spinning fast enough that it could pull your gear lever off of the gears if you're not careful.
