                  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.

                  Well maintained with no any dent t is present.
                  For daily city riding the engine is smooth and responsive. ItтАЩs particularly good for overtaking and quick acceleration compared with many conventional 125cc commuters bikes. A practical expectation 50/60 km/l. Brakes and safety. Higher variant get single ABS Channel. Bike have the full safety features that any bike may hardly have.

                  Looks-wise, the best bike in the 125cc segment, and the mileage is very good at 50 kmpl. Riding comfort is good for daily city usage, and the servicing cost is very low. It is a low-maintenance bike with good looks. I have done very long trips of about 250тАУ300 km in one stretch, and the performance was very good, that too in mountain areas.

                  High quality safety bike
                  This is all ok with comfort, did not face any problem and the engine of 125cc is the best, enjoy the fast speed and give the feel of super bike. This is the best bike in terms of performance at the highways and best for the off roading. I did't face any problem in my entire 2 years of experience. I love hero Xtreme 125R.
