New TVS Bike Teased: Could Be The TVS Apache RTR 180 Update
The bike could get dual-channel ABS at a slight price premium
Quick News Highlights:
-
TVS has released a new teaser for one of its Apache bikes
-
It could be the updated version of the Apache RTR 180, likely with new features
-
Might cost around Rs 3,000 more over current model
TVS has released a new teaser on its official social media channel for the Apache range, hinting at something new to its popular Apache series. While the company hasn't confirmed the model name, the teaser carries the caption, “Not just powerful. Not just fierce. Now equipped to lead with confidence.” If you ask us, this clearly indicates the presence of a safety feature.
Which Apache?
The twin LED DRLs shown in the teaser appear to be that of the Apache RTR 160 2V or the 180, but we think it’s the 180 since TVS recently updated the RTR 200. Naturally, the next in line in terms of displacement could be the 180cc Apache.
What’s New
Considering the caption, it could be possible that the TVS Apache RTR 180 will get a dual-channel ABS. Apart from this, we may also expect new colour schemes as the bike is currently available only in two colours: Gloss Black and Pearl White. The update could be in the form of a new top variant, just like how TVS does with the 160 4V.
Price
This new and updated top-spec Apache RTR 180 is expected to carry a premium of about Rs 3,000 over the current version on sale. Right now, the Apache 180 has a price tag of Rs 1,35,020. If our guess is correct, then the upcoming variant will be priced close to the top-end variant of the TVS Apache RTR 160 4V. It comes with an inverted fork, dual-channel ABS and costs Rs 1,39,990 (all prices ex-showroom Delhi).
BikeDekho Says
No changes are expected to the engine, features, and underpinnings like the chassis, suspension, etc. of the TVS Apache RTR 180 as the bike is pretty capable in its current guise. We expect the launch could happen in the coming few days, possibly sometime in this week itself.
TVS Apache RTR 180 User Reviews
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.Read More
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.
