Everyday Ride with Extra Power

The Apache RTR 180 is a step up in power while still being practical for city use. I really appreciate its strong braking, especially the single-channel super-moto ABS, which has helped me in emergencies. The acceleration is responsive, and stability at highway speeds is impressive. For riders like me who want a combination of thrill and daily use, it works quite wonderfully.

TVS Apache RTR 180 - User Review

My TVS Apache RTR 180 feels quick on highways with its 177.4cc engine delivering easy pickup at higher speeds. I really like its single-channel super-moto ABS, which works effectively when braking suddenly in traffic. The kerb weight of 140 kg makes it light to handle in busy lanes. The sporty look adds charm, while its comfortable seat keeps me relaxed on longer routes.
