Warp+ Commute on the Ather 450 Apex
In my last video I talked about my new Ather 450 Apex, but it was mostly a sedate ride. In this video let me take you through one of my fast commutes in Warp+ mode. No talking, no vlogging, just pure riding!

Here's more information on my equipment.
Bikes:
I've had several bikes since I started riding. But here are the bikes featured on the videos on my channel.
2013 Harley-Davidson Sportster 883 Superlow - I got this in late 2012 and had it until I sold it in 2019.
2019 Vespa VXL 150 - my in-town ride and hassle-free commuter.
2019 Royal Enfield Interceptor 650
2015 KTM 390 Duke - a used bike I acquired recently - a project bike, a fun bike and something Mrs. Volatile42 can learn to ride on.
2016 Kawasaki Versys 1000 - a very recent acquisition, to be my primary all-rounder.
2024 Ather 450 Apex - my new in-town ride and commuter.
If you would like to know more on my motorcycling history, please see this video: czcams.com/video/eH9EEVl8_rc/video.html
Cameras:
Sena 10c - my primary camera initially and many of my earlier vlogs are shot with just this.
Sena 50C - replacement for the Sena 10C. This is also the camera that I always have on my helmet and thanks to its video-tagging mode, it's always recording, just like a dash-cam.
Gopro Hero 7 Black - my primary motovlogging camera.
Insta360 One X2 - a recent acquisition to experiment with 360 videos and the flexibility of choosing the angle later.
Insta360 Go 2 - another recent acquisition to act as a multi-purpose camera
And occasional footage from whatever phone I or my wife are currently using.

Yup! I did. Ever since taking that first test ride of the Ather 450 back in 2019, i have really been wanting to get one.

Look at the bike under braking and the swerving I had to do under maximum braking. It may not look like much at first, but you can see the bike dive and stiffen up under braking. It certainly was much scarier than it looks. Both front and rear ABS kicked in momentarily. When I first started braking I honestly didn't think I would make it.

13:19 - Probably you haven't tuned it correctly. From what I've seen and read on the internet, the powerTRONIC V4 gives you a really good boost, you just need to have the right map too Indian Royal Enfield enthusiastic Abhinav Bhatt is a big fan of PowerTRONIC Piggyback ECU. On his CZcams channel, he has a video reaching 190km/h (czcams.com/video/Zujcl1vVHKs/video.html) using a stock engine with some extras: PowerTRONIC V4 (+ PowerTRONIC Quickshifter); SS Moto 2x1 Full System Exhaust (or any free flow exhaust); DNA Air Filter (with a Stage 2 Plate Kit) & 14T Front Sprocket.
How is ur powertronic? Working fine? Is there any issue face after a long 3 years? I want to install powertronic in my interceptor 650. What's ur opinion?
I sold my Interceptor a while back. But never had any problems with the Powertronic.
@@Volatile42 how was it performance? Like acceleration, throttle response, midrange and top end? Please rply
Plz make a video and show all the apex special gifts helmet, keyring etc
Such a clean explanation..nice video bro👍
In bolt charging app, there was no option for the apex model to charge. Please tell me which model did you choose for changing the vehicle
You can choose the 450X (3.7 kWh). The Apex has the same size battery, so it works for their purposes of calculating the charging time, etc.
Indian models of the scooters aren't available in the app.
Hey does the issue still continues of mud sparkling on rear seat nd the noise of belt while raining this are the issues of 450x does this still continues with the apex? Nd did u face any issues till now?
About to pull the trigger on a 450x or a 450 apex, pls let me know any issues faced or anything, service cost? belt needs changing frequently/ ?
I haven’t had any issues yet but it’s too early for me. I’ve only had it for around 2 months. But what you mentioned are common between the 450X and the Apex, so you can look out for any of the recent 450s that are having such problems.
Isse benefits kya hote hain.
It alters the air-fuel ratio and ignition timing for better performance. You can see the effects more of you have aftermarket free-flow intake/air-filter and exhausts.
@@Volatile42 COMPANY JO DETI HAI USME KYA DIKKAT HAI.
What the company provides is very restricted due to emissions and noise regulations. Koi dikkat nahi, it’s still good. But if you’re used to other performance oriented bikes you may find some things like throttle response need improvement.
@@Volatile42 OK THANKS
how much does bolt charge for 4 hours of charging
The rates vary from place to place as the host can include a profit on top of the electricity cost. At my place they are hosted by the apartment owners’ association and are profit-free. It costs ₹6 per kWh, so a 4 hour charge on the Ather would cost around ₹15-20.
What is the true range of apex in eco mode nd wrap+ mode?
110km in smart eco and 75km in warp+. Although with my riding style it’s predicting 79km in warp+.
Bhai lene ki soch rha hu apex kaisa experience hai apka worth for buying hai ya aise he hai Rizta book ki hai lekin soch rha hu apex lelu
The Rizta and 450 (X or Apex) are very different, so it would very much depend on what you are looking for. The 450 is performance oriented while the Rizta is more comfort and practicality oriented. I would not be happy with the performance of the Rizta as the Apex itself is just about okay for me. But the Rizta is a better all-rounder scooter.
Buy tork kratos best speed
5:57 got to know about ShoffR from this video and how they use BYD e6 electric for their fleet.
Yes, I too learned about them recently at the Ather Community Day event. Apparently they were using them for the airport transfers.
While charging phone in boot is it a fast charging or too slow charging?
Which gloves u r using?
They are Rev'It Dirt 3 gloves.
Pls tell till now any issues with the apex?will u recommend it to me?
No real issues worth mentioning. It's mostly the same as the 450X. One thing is there is no day/white mode in the UI. It's always in dark mode. You would need to decide if it's right for you based on your riding history and preferences. Mainly - how important is performance to you?
How far can we go in wrap+ mode? Like in ola it's hardly 5km
@volatile42 see sir for me performance is important. 1.And as u said there is no white light mode but is this enough visible when riding below sunlight? Then it's fine for me 2.in ather 450x many have complained about tht there is a problem with the scooty rear mudguard is too small nd in rainy season the water reaches the pillion it's an issue and is this issue continues with the apex? 3. And also many reported the belt issue tht during rainy season it makes a lot of noice nd dust accumilates and in apex they covered the belt so still any issues about tht? 4.how r the breaks good enough as people said piche ka tyre skid krta hai high speed pe nd few customers feel breaks are not tht good in high speeds wt is ur point of view on tht? 5.in bootspace is there is a charger as if I charge my phone will it be like fast charging or decent charging or completely slow charging??? 6.
It’s not like that here. You can keep doing 80-90+. After a while the performance drops a little and acceleration will be a little slower but you can still do 80+. In the city you will hardly ever notice. I often touch 90-100 during my commute and also spend a good amount of time at 60-70 as you can see. Will try to show you another ride with just Warp+.
Thx hope u reply to my another comment too... I am mesmerised tht u even reply to comments I am grateful to follow ur channel nd recommend my frnds too to follow u. Hats off sir and really appreciating u for such an amazing hard work CZcams needs creators like u.
Worthless product
Like you, for example.
@@RandomGuy-om1vy yeah true i m worthless for you and you for me 👍 but apex 2l plus scooter range 70 km for what it is launch for performance no battery motor nothing is upgraded
@tanishjain6146 the motor is physically the same but they are pushing more current into it to produce more power. So much so that it overheats if pushed hard and then the performance drops slightly. With the 450X they played it safe and didn’t utilise the full potential of the motor. 70km range is not true. Even with some fast riding you can easily get 110km. The regen control with the throttle is also something I really appreciate. The price difference was only around 20k for me compared to the 450X, and it was worth it for me. Won’t be for everybody of course and that’s fine.
Tu engineering hai kya?@@tanishjain6146
Removing the white theme for the Apex is still a dumb move and makes it hard to read the screen in direct sunlight. Magic twist is sick though!
Yeah, I was searching for the setting the first few days, only to realise that the special Apex UI doesn’t have it. Compromising function for aesthetics.
Same 😂 Hope Ather stack 6 fixes that 😅
Please have some realtime off-road review of ather 450 Apex And top speed consistency review on highway in warp+ mode
Yes, will try to do a highway run. More than the speed I would like to see how long it can sustain peak Warp+ performance and the impact on the range. Even in the city it reaches 100km/h quite easily (I have done 101 km/h) but you do notice performance dropping a little soon after. But it still does Sport mode like performance. Off-road, not sure about that 😅
great
The Versys is a darn fine, if tall, machine. It will serve you well as you get more seat time on it. Kind of sad to see the RE gone, but garage and wallet space is always a limiting factor. Watching you navigate through urban Indian traffic still scares the paint off my gas tank, you got to have some stones to do that no doubt. Cheers!
Great hearing from you after such a long time! Yes, the Versys is nearly perfect in every way, except for the height, combined with the weight. That’s something I overlooked when decided on it. Don’t find it to be a problem while riding solo, but with a passenger and luggage, it can get scary. Makes me feel like I’m getting old and losing my riding confidence. 😀
Dont you just hate truck drivers who hog the lane 😂
You mean the right lane? I used to really hate it and still do sometimes, but it is so common in India, you just get used to it. And they have their. reasons too. The left lane is often occupied by very slow vehicles or parked vehicles and it becomes very difficult for trucks to go around them, so they just stick to the right lane.
have you started the bike becuz its instruct's me to start the vehicle and the caliberation is successfull
Dont stop brother, keep rocking
All hype no thrill on the Apex, Gen 3 is really good but not the Apex.
And.....that's Monday
does the top case have handle to carry it like a suitcase ?
Thank you, from Gemany ! For your good clear speaking ! And first for your good explantation and demonstration. Seldom !!!🤓❤
Hey Volatile42, your content is top-notch! Can I use it on my channel? I'll make sure to attribute it to you.
What average litres per 100km do get with fuel? (Or mpg) Nice vid. Im looking at a versys1000 purchase soon.
I get around 5-7 litres per 100km.
Yes, 0,48 l/10km. Or 4,8 l per 100.
What a song
มัรคือรุ่นอะไร
First i was against the decision to install engine/leg guard on my classic 350..but when i crashed the 350..i came to know about the importance of the guard...those 4000 you invest on the guard is just damm important.
which handle bar is this
It’s from Art of Motorcycles
5 things I hate about my Royal Enfield interceptor 650- 1) it
Just bought one. Cant wait for spring lol
I also own Interceptor, have seen your previous videos too. How long have you ridden this bike? What's the reading on Odometer? Did you ever change clutch plates?
It’s not much. I have done a little over 10k km in 4 years. Some of it was because of the pandemic in the early years. But mostly because it’s no longer my primary bike.
Sell it, and buy new Himalayan 450. 😊
But that’ll have more of the same issues 😄
What is the name of seat in Sahara seats please let me know I am in search for it
This is the name I have on the invoice: Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 Low Rider Design Seat Assembly (red and black)
Where can you download different maps for this unit?
Good one..I have purchased one and looking for good mechanic as I am not sure with connections.
What kind of phone holder u are using?can share link where u buy
It's a Bobo brand jaw-grip type phone holder from Amazon. They have several varieties, with or without a power outlet. I have them on my other bikes as well. Not too expensive and works well.
Hey can I use it? Full credits and watermark, of course. Any additional info you want us to mention, related to clip? Thanks!
A good informative and honest video tutorial 👍
Fuel type normal or high octane??
It sounds like a high speed turbine burning down the highway, love the noise 😍
Mph or k?
Been looking at this case for my z650rs and good to see this case looks nice on a retro style of bike, the rack is nicer than the one available for my bike. You said the capacity is large, would you say too large? Because i am still choosing between this one or the slightly smaller Journey 40 case.
Hey, really sorry to reply so late. It really depends on what you intend to carry in it and how it looks on your bike. It’s not too big in terms of its capacity. I like the fact that it can hold 2 helmets when I have to park the bike and go somewhere. If you carry too few things though, you will need to find ways to hold them down (like my bungee net) or they’ll get tossed around and get noisy. But that’s about three same with any large case. I currently use a Givi 58 litre case on my Versys. How it looks is another things to think about though. It almost looks a little too big on the Interceptor but the twin exhaust pipes at the back help make up for it. The Z650 looks similar but might be a little smaller. If you can’t get hold of a case to try on, see if you can use a measuring tape and judge the dimensions and if it might be too big on your bike.
I'm just going to put 2 el cheapo baffles in the pipe ends to quieten them down a little , cost was £12 off Fleabay . czcams.com/video/eXjJbRzfmOg/video.html
