                  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.

                  The Value of the Durability and features & efforts
                  The unicorn bike was famous with the smooth touch and good performance, the mileage was good in the city area and also good for long ride in the highway, comfort and sitting is best for long ride. The bike is really comfortable. My long trip with my best bike that is unicorn 160 cc around 1350 km, on road the performance is good, mileage increased with around 50 to 55 km per litre and pickup of the bike is to much wow with great features.
