                  Blend of both style and practicality
                  RTR 180 and 160 2V both may not feel so comfortable at first and it require some time to get used to over long urban commutes. Good for touring as well, best with speeds upto 80-90 kmph and vibrates a lot after that. Decent mileage. Easy on pocket ownership cost. Became more affordable post GST 2.0. Go for it if you are looking for a motorcycle that is simple yet sporty.

                  Apache RTR 180
                  It feels torn out when it goes above 75 kmph but it has good pickup and it has very good riding posture and the bike is best for highways because it does not wobble on high speed and has very good stability. It has many cons and many pros depend on the usage and different perspectives for different users and different age group. It is best for youth because it gives very good mileage so overall this is a positive review. Yeah, For sure, I recommend this bike because it has decent look and good performance in a decent price range with the branding of TVS and I am using this bike from 2012 and till now my bikes engine has opened only 1 time and I have completed 75000 kms from this bike and I'm very satisfied.

                  Great bike
                  I have driving this daily for 100km and I found this bike very cost efficient, Also provide good mileage and smooth engine experience provide great looks and smooth riding in cities, This is good bike for daily user. While drive around 100 -150 km with no issues. But more than 150 km in a single ride may give you little bit pain on back. Smooth handling and road presence easy to control and flexible in crowded places and give good experience. Daily riding person with good mileage and comfort should be purchases, This bike will comfortable for driver or co passanger in the city and good seating postures, bike will be great for daily riders which ride around 150km daily. overall the bike is great.
