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. TVS APACHE180 TEASER VIDEO

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.
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 .. http://bikeindia.in/reviews/firstride/TVS-Apache-RTR-180/
