TVS Apache RTR 180 Review
On the exterior front, TVS Apache RTR 180 has received upgrades on the instrument panel. The display of the panel is LCD. Things like a clock, lap timer, and speed meter are visible on the panel. On the interior side, the engine is 177.4 CC. The power that the engine generates is 17.5 PS and a maximum torque of 15.5 Nm.
Just like its previous versions which extracted an uncomfortable posture, even the current seating design of the bike causes discomfort to riders. The seat and handlebars are perfect for a city ride; however, the foot stands are away from the normal position, which leads to unease during longer rides. The look of the bike does evoke a sporty appearance but fails to deliver a comfortable ride.
TVS Apache RTR 180 is almost the same to Apache RTR 160’s chassis and suspension. The only major differences are its wheels and wheelbase. The length of the RTR 180’s wheelbase is increased by 26 mm in comparison to RTR 160. The current length of the wheelbase is 1326 mm. The increase has helped RTR 180 to become a much more stable bike on the road.
More and more bike companies are promoting their bikes based on their performance. The TVS Apache RTR 180 faces tough competition from its competitor, Pulsar 220 DTSi..However, the Pulsar 180 loses out by a margin to TVS Apache RTR 180 due to the latter’s more powerful engine. Given its price range, the performance of RTR 180 is very good.
