Introduction of TVS Apache RTR 180

TVS Apache RTR 180 is a sports naked bike in the 180cc segment from the stable of TVS Racing.

The first Apache RTR 180 iteration was launched in 2009 as a direct competitor to Bajaj Pulsar 180 and became the fastest bike in the 180cc segment.

In 2011, the company introduced dual-channel ABS in the bike, making it the country’s maiden ABS-featured motorcycle.

The dual-channel ABS gave unparalleled braking performance and safety. Over the years, the bike has constantly evolved and got better with each new model.

In 2020, TVS launched the Apache 180 with a BS6-compliant engine that produced more power and achieved the same torque at lower rpm. It, however, changed the dual-channel ABS to a single-channel one.

Presently, the motorbike comes in one variant and three colour options bearing a price tag of Rs. 1,09,515 (ex-showroom, Mumbai).

What’s new in TVS Apache RTR 180 ?

Apache RTR 180 comes with some new features, which are listed below:

BS6-compliant engine:

The BS-VI engine produces 0.17PS more power and achieve the same peak torque of 15.5 Nm at 7000 rpm, unlike the previous 6500 rpm in the last model. It gives a good mileage of 45 Kmpl.

Fuel-injection technology:

The BS-VI mill has fuel injection technology, unlike the carburettor system of the previous model.

Glide Through Technology:

The segment-first feature enables riders to ride without using the accelerator and clutch continuously when in heavy traffic.

Specification of Apache RTR 180

The TVS Apache RTR 180 gets driven by a 177.4cc spark-ignition, oil-cooled, four-stroke, fuel-injected mill mated to a five-speed transmission that can churn out a maximum power of 16.79 PS @ 8500 rpm and a peak torque of 15.5 Nm @ 7000 rpm.

The power output in Apache RTR 180 has increased by 0.17PS, and the maximum torque has remained unchanged but achieved 500 rpm earlier.

TVS Apache RTR 180 gives a fuel efficiency of 45 Kmpl. It can sprint from 0 to 60 Kmph in under 4.5 seconds, 0 to 100 Kmph in 14 seconds, and achieve a top speed of 123 Kmph. The fuel injection system renders the sports naked bike a torque-assist feature known as ‘Glide Through Technology’.

The motorcycle sits on TVS Motor Company’s patented double cradle split synchronised stiff chassis, developed using multi-body analysis to enhance the stability by 25% and render optimised vehicle layout and superior riding dynamics.

The suspension duties get performed by a telescopic fork at the front and monotube inverted gas-charged shock absorbers with spring aid at the rear.

A 270mm petal disc carries the braking duties at the front and a 200mm diameter petal disc at the rear assisted by single-channel ABS.

TVS Apache RTR 180 rolls on 17-inch alloy wheels with a 90/90-17 inches tubeless tyre at the front and a 110/80-17 inches tubeless tyre at the rear.

Design of TVS Apache RTR 180

The Apache RTR 180 features a similar beast-inspired halogen headlamp that gives it an edgy look and offers brilliant luminosity and a long-range of light coverage.

A pair of LED daytime running lights also come just above the halogen bulb. It has a pair of side indicator lamps fitted to both sides.

Like Apache RTR 160 2V, it comes fitted with a black visor for added style and better aerodynamics. The semi-digital instrument cluster comprises a digital speedometer, an analogue odometer, and a fuel gauge.

The handles get equipped with many stylish switches that turn on/off the headlight, taillight, side indicators, etc.

The muscular 12-litre tank and its extended shrouds give an aggressive and sporty look to the RTR 180. The leaping horse logo of TVS and red decals of RTR look attractive on the tank.

The sporty mudguard protects the rider and the engine from mud, while the chiselled engine cowl does the same style.

The bike has a step-up seat that gives a comfortable ride for both the rider and the passenger. It distributes their weight evenly for a better riding experience.

The stylish tail features a sleek grab rail and taillight that give a sharp look to the bike. The slight upswing exhaust pipe has a chrome plate that looks good. The seat height of 790 mm is practically accessible for many riders. The footrests and rear footpegs keep the feet of both the rider and the pillion.

Colour Options and Variants Of RTR 180

TVS Apache RTR 180 comes in only one variant.

It comes in three colour options:

  • Pearl White

Halogen headlamp with LED DRLs: The beast-inspired halogen headlamp renders brilliant light at night, while the daytime running lights render extra visibility.

Semi-digital instrument cluster: The semi-digital instrument cluster consists of a digital speedometer, odometer, clock, and fuel gauge.

LED taillight: The bright and multi-colour LED tail lamp illuminates when brakes are applied.

Side bulb indicators: The side lamp indicators indicate the turn the rider has to take.

Petal disc brakes: These are lighter and dissipate heat more efficiently due to a reduction of more than 1/5th of their surface area. It’s the first bike in the country to have them and still does.

Single-channel ABS: The front wheel gets equipped with an anti-braking system.

Pass Switch: This switch enables the rider to signal before overtaking the vehicle in its front.

Glide Through Technology: This technology enables the bike to crawl at a lower speed and provides more low-end torque.
