    Thumbs up TVS Apache 180 coming soon!!

    Post  Vibhor 18th April 2009, 7:40 pm

    TVS Motors Limited will launch the much awaited Apache RTR 180 in the Indian
    market soon.
    The bike will come with a 180CC engine with 17.3 PS of power on tap which is
    more than 223 CC Hero Honda Karizma and also more than the equivalent Pulsar 180
    from Bajaj. The basic styling remains the same as the RTR 160 with the same tank
    extensions. To add some visual weight to the rear and aid handling, the rear
    tyre is now fatter 110/80-17 variety.
    TVS will launch and announce the pricing shortly.

    Every new version of Apache increases my desirability on it. But what i fear is the reliability of them. Hope this changes.

    The 180.
    I already like the 160 RTR though i do not drive bikes.

    Seems TVS is going all out on pulsar.
    Would wait to see 200/220cc engines later on as well.

    i just would like to see the performance of the bike both on road and in the market.. des digits arent really gonna help me with that.
    well if it is btr than the R15 all i would have to do is to wait fot the juice box by two brothers.

    Note from Admin : Please avoid SMS/Slang Language(Eg; these isn't des & Better isn't Btr)Thanks.

    nothing seems to be gr8 from new apache else then new powerful engine, i guess the company is going same like bajaj to extend its apache family and not giving anything new then more power, this isnt going to beat yamaha which is storming in market now with its new models.

    yeah its all better than the older versions..

    but i was expecting a competition for our R15s and P220s. But i guess its more of a competition to 200 and zma..

    check this page out.. besides a new feature in the speedo itself of
    recording the top speed of the bike has every thing similar to the old
    RTR 160 in terms of technology, including the Apache throttle response

    looks much better then its older version, though as antriksh shared nothing new in terms of technology, seems same specs used.

    That's the least to be expected from 180. No vibes and improved refinement.

    TVS Apache RTR 180 Launched!

    As we told you earlier, TVS Motors have launched the more powerful 180cc variant of the hot selling Apache RTR in the Indian market.
    The Apache RTR 180’s 177.4 cc engine generates a maximum power of 17.3 PS @ 8500 rpm up 1.9 PS ps on the RTR 160 and a maximum torque of 15.5 nm, up 2.4 nm on RTR 160. Apart from the engine the Apache RTR 180 also benefits from 26 mm larger wheelbase and a fatter 110/80 17″ alloy tubeless tyre at the rear while 90/90 x 17” does duty at the front. Cosmetically, the bike comes with more prominent RTR decal on the tank extensions, golden painted front forks and gas reservoir for the rear shocks.
    TVS claims a top whack of 125 km/hr and a 0-60 kph sprint in 4.15 seconds for the Apache RTR 180

    The Apache RTR 180 has been priced at Rs. 63,990 Ex-Showroom, Delhi and will come in three colors - pearl white,titanium grey and black.

    Pricing seems good. Can give a tough fight to P180. Nowadays i'm seeing more new Apaches than Pulsars.
