I realized that Hyper Edge is a fitting name more for Pulsar than for Apache RTR. Especially from a design perspective. I've tried breaking apart the designs of both the bikes to show why Pulsar is the Hyper Edgy bike.
Focus on the yellow lines below. Apache RTR Hyper Edge. These are the dominant lines I see when I look at the bike.
Now look at Pulsar.
You'll notice that there are fewer dominant lines (at least in the way I see) in Pulsar as compared to Apache Hype Edge. Lines seem to converge in Pulsar. Lines are closely aligned. Against this, lines in Apache are far more distant. They don't seem to converge. Forget edginess, there's very little to call sharp.
Fewer lines cut sharper. More lines will of course make the edge thicker. You get the logic, right?
Design apart, I love the sound of an Apache machine. There, they've got it right. But I guess the sound isn't enough (as it is for a Royal Enfield) to make it a cult.

In the end the Apache RTR has just borrowed the shape of the Pulsar in a more compact package.
