Designed to deliver an adrenaline rush with exhilarating performance on every ride, TVS Apache RTR 180 has set a benchmark for the best value for money bike in India in terms of performance and design. Its race-inspired graphics with decals and a refreshed racing aesthetic create an unmistakable presence.
Not long ago, it was unimaginable to think about any form of adjustability, riding modes and top-of-the-line racing spec suspension in any bike in this segment. That’s where TVS Motor has changed the game - the updated iteration of RTR 180 comes with dual-channel ABS, ride modes that offer a versatile riding experience, and an all-new upside-down Showa telescopic fork with preload adjuster.
Track To Road Philosophy
Every bike in the TVS Apache RTR 180 lineup follows a naked sport design. The thought behind this is to achieve optimum weight reduction and ensure better heat dissipation as the engine cowl is sculptured sharp to boost air circulation around the engine block.
The sleek front fairing and the downward-facing sharp tank scoop work in sync to improve aerodynamics, offering downward force for a better grip. This amplifies confidence while riding at high speeds and while cornering.
Informative Console
Among the most famous bikes in India, TVS Apache RTR 180 features an all-new LCD cluster that offers various ride-related data ranging from rpm, gear indicator, average speed, lap timer and ride modes. For a smart and connected ride, TVS Motor has integrated SmartXonnect technology within the bike.
This Bluetooth-enabled connectivity feature lets the rider get call/ SMS alerts by pressing the info switch, after which the cluster flashes the name (if saved in the phone) or the number of the call or the SMS you received. Post every ride, each element is presented in detail ranging from top speed, best 0-60 km/h time, distance travelled, lean angle mode frequency and pattern of gear shifts. The system also features a “tour mode” and turn-by-turn navigation that comes in handy during long-distance rides. It also offers notifications for essential stops such as fuel stations, hospitals and restaurants.
TVS Motor also takes care of the rider’s convenience – Apache RTR 180 comes integrated with Low fuel alerts to warn you when the reserve level of the fuel tank kicks in. In such scenarios, the system routes you to the nearest fuel station.
Embracing the Striking Aesthetics
Being the racer’s favourite for more than a decade, RTR 180’s iconic styling now gets more aggressive with a distinct LED headlamp and tail lamp. An element of premium touch is the meticulously crafted Alcantara Racing Seat that is designed to provide ultimate comfort over longer race distances and daily commutes, thereby making it one of the best bikes for long drives in India. The unyielding grip in TVS Apache RTR 180 is provided by the special compound in tubeless tyres, offering confidence and the perfect synergy of cornering aggression and agility.
Apache RTR 180 makes a strong case for itself as one of the best value for money bikes in India in terms of the legacy it has built and the strong performance it offers. Bring Home the Racer’s Choice
