To celebrate the spirit of the X-Men: Days of Futire Past, TVS has introduced a new Matte Black edition of its flagship motorcycle- Apache RTR 180. The dark theme motorcycle has recived an all Black skin with matte Grey graphics. The company has already released a TV commercial of this edition and it has been priced at Rs. 71,770 (ex-showroom, Mumbai). Mechanically, it's the same TVS Apache, which is known for a great performance in light sport segment. Apart from this new option, the bike is also available in standard White and Black colour options.
TVS says that the Apache RTR 180 is the meanest machine in its segment with its beast inspired headlamp unit. The bike gets LED DRLs combined with the new pilot lamps to form a pair of intense animalistic eyes. The company claims that the bike gets a very masculine appearance with its muscled tank, tail cowl and engine cowl. Apart from contributing to its aggressive look, its aerodynamic tank cowl also improves the performance by keeping the engine heat 10 degree low.
TVS apache RTR 180 comes with a sculpted digital display, which features new nocturnal-blue backlit display, countdown-on-ignition speedometer and race-inspired carbon fibre clues. The bike comes equiped with a 270mm Roto-Petal disc brake at the front, while the rear gets 200mm one. The company also offers ABS as an optional equipment with the bike, which costs around Rs. 10,300 extra. Its advanced front telescoopic and spring loaded, Mono tube Inverted Gas filled (MIG) rear shox performs quite well with its braking system.
Powering the TVS Apache RTR 180 is the same 177.4cc, single-cylinder, SOHC mill, which poweres its standard variant.Using Racing Throttle Responce (RTR) technology, the bike churns out 17bhp of maximum power at 8,500rpm and the peak torque figure stands at 15.5Nm @6,500rpm. 180cc is a very rare segment in the INdian market and the bike has only one bike- Bajaj Pulsar 180 DTS-i in competition. Although, Pulsar is the most popular sport bike series in the market, TVS apache has a different set of fans (specially stunters) in 180cc category.
TVS Apache RTR 160 4V (2009-2025) User Reviews
I am very satisfied with the bike's performance. It offers good performance and comfortable riding. The engine is smooth, mileage is ok and maintenance cost are reasonable. Overall it is a reliable bike for daily use and long rides. I would recommend to others for use and bike's look is very cool and I did some modification in bike for good look.
Apache RTR 4v black is quite good bike as compared to other brand. This bike offer 17 bhp and 15 nm torque which is quite fast coming to looks. It looks like naked super bike with red black colour combination. It offer three riding mode with tft display and abs braking which is single only with better mileage in this segment.
I chose the TVS Apache RTR 160 4V TFT USD model mainly for its sporty design, features and strong road presence. The bike feels very stable on highways and comfortable for daily city rides. Handling is sharp and confidence inspiring. It is also good for family usage when riding normally. Overall the build quality, braking and features like TFT display make the bike feel premium in this segment. Ride quality so far has been very good. The Apache RTR 160 4V TFT USD has excellent handling and stability. In highways the bike feels planted and smooth even at higher speeds. Braking performance and suspension are also good for most road conditions. But the biggest downside for me is the city mileage. In city I am getting around 28 to 32 kmpl, which is lower than expected for a 160cc bike. If someone wants good performance, sporty design, great handling and modern features, the Apache RTR 160 4V TFT USD is a very good choice. However mileage is the only reason I hesitate to recommend it to everyone. Competitors like Pulsar N160 give better mileage in city conditions. So if mileage is your main priority you may consider other options, but apart from that the bike is really enjoyable to ride.
I chose the Apache RTR 160 Limited Edition for its sporty performance, sharp handling, unique limited-edition looks, good mileage, and reliable TVS build, making it perfect for daily use with a premium feel. Apache RTR 160 Limited Edition so far is smooth and fun it feels responsive with good pickup, confident in city traffic, and stable at higher speeds. The handling is sharp and the overall ride quality is comfortable for daily commuting as well as weekend rides. I would recommend the Apache rtr 160 Limited Edition if you are looking for a bike that fun to ride, reliable, good on mileage, and turns heads with its sporty looks. It is a great all round choice for both daily commuting and weekend rides.
According to online review it's the best bike in the segment. I reviewed other bikes in the segment and everybody has their pros and cons but this is the overall best friend and it has been running on the roads were years that's why. Very punchy and comfortable. It's very manuvareble in traffic and the blood through technology is very helpful in the driving also when it comes to I wait as a very good performance. Mileage is pretty good. Yes to anyone in this segment. Even even has an interesting 160 CC segment this is the best way to go for according to me as it as too much features for the price range and it is very much good for this age group.
