body to power ratio. Silencer of the bike has a covering of chrome plate
and the exhaust make no sound. However, most of the exterior is having
black treatment. The titanium engine is also black with fairing. Split
grab rails are another special features that make pillion rider safer.
But removable rear fender is the thing which add to the style of the
bike. It comes with replaceable and functional mud flap. LED tail lamp
and rear grab rails seems like a innocent bull. The company claimed that
it consumed less battery power. Six spoke alloy wheels, engine fairing,

Features
Bull Horn Grab Rails: RTR
is always known for it’s uniqueness in each and every detail that is
being fused on to the bike, and the main highlight is the split grab
rails that are shaped with Bull Horns in mind, will give the bike an
aggressive look and the bike gels with it adding style to functionality.
Engine Fairing: With
this part alone one will be able to understand how much of detailing has
gone into making of this bike, the design has some aggressive curves
that cools the engine rapidly and allows the heat to be dissipated as
well as adding style. Not to mention it over does its job of saving the
engine from elements that can knock the engine while riding.
Graphics: The bike also
comes with all new graphics to be precise the Legendary Racing GT
Stripe that adds best complements to the bike when looked from all the
angles it’s an absolute turn-on to every biker, also the RTR decal that
is put partly on the air scoop and the tank. The RTR rims also have
luminous rings that distinguish men from the boys.

looks of a Super Bike rear fender with safety reflectors attached as TVS
never compromises on safety.

RTR 180 employs all new stylish light weight alloys that are designed
specifically for this bike reducing the burden of weight when it matters
only about speed. Light weight doesn’t mean that these will wear out
fast but these are tested extensively for durability too giving the bike
a sturdy feel in all terrain conditions.

Technology
The bike is totally a tech savvy and some of the most innovative and advanced features includes:
Over Square Engine: That’s
the technology implemented in RTR 180, an Over Squared engine that
churns out 17.3 ps @ 8500 RPM with a max torque of 15.5NM @ 6500 RPM is
just mind blowing. With these values the bike is just a screamer and can
easily reach top end without losing out its breath. To the stunters out
there the bike can pull really good wheelies in 2nd gear and that is
the amount of low end torque this bike possesses.
Roto Petal Disc Brakes: The
bike employs ROTO PETAL DISC BRAKES for both front and rear that can
put all the power to a stop when required. With 270mm front and 200mm
rear ROTO DISCS the bike never hesitates to stop and also for people who
wants to know about this advantages of ROTO DISCS, it’s been proved
that these discs dissipate heat faster than the normal discs and
provides a fool-proof braking.
Clip-on’s: The bike
comes with all new wider Clip-On handle bars wider than the old RTR
models that provide the rider with great posture for riding as well as
adds a tinge feel of racing as these are the standard equipments in the
Superbikes and in here it also comes with adjusting feature that can be
adjusted for the reach of the rider according to his height.
Rearset Foot Pegs: The
Bike employs sporty lightweight foot pegs that are placed in the rear
set giving the user the racing feel and also for the techs this design
contributes to the bike’s power to weight ratio.
Wider Tyres: The Bike
employs the widest rear tire in the entire RTR series with a size of
110/ 80 that can put all the power on to the ground without hesitation
at all.
With all the above Features and
Technology that no other bike has, the new RTR 180 is truly a racing
pedigree that is waiting to unleash its power. Taking a test ride of the
bike, the bike sounded and felt really amazing and doesn’t have the old
boring complaints of its ancestors and you guys know what, yes, the
Vibes. TVS has this time did their homework well on this issue and has
bought the levels of Harshness and Vibrations down and this adds to the
new feel of the bike wanting to accelerate faster and faster and coupled
with a carburetor there is always some room for further improvements
which can’t be done in the case of an FI. The bike accelerates faster
and cleaner than the 160’s but not as clean as the FI. But who cares
when it’s a screamer, the bike screams past against all the bigger
competitors with ease and it surprises me each and every time when I
think of that.
Although the RTR-FI and RTR-180 share
the same 0-60 timings, from 60-100 and above the total scene with the
RTR-180 is all game. It accelerates faster than the fastest leaving
others behind and the top speed that I was able to achieve was 136 Kmph
on the Speedo console and I still felt that there was lot more juice
left to extract from the engine, but being a new engine I didn’t want to
rev the bike hard. The bike also comes in an all-white scheme that
distinguishes the other RTR’s from the 180 and personally I like this
color as it looks like an angel while parked and a white devil when
ridden. The other color options available are Yellow, Grey and Black
which are also equivalently good and I would say it’s always a personal
choice and go with what your heart says…
The all new RTR 180 with tons of
positive feedbacks and features is surely a value for money than any
other bike in this segment and I would surely not hesitate to book right
away for the thrill it offers.
Engine
The TVS Apache RTR 180cc is having some of similarity
like Bajaj Avenger DTS-i 200cc as far as the engine performance is
concerned. Like Apache's engine produces maximum power of 17.3 PS at
8500 rpm and maximum torque of 15.5 nm at 6500 rpm with the displacement
of 177.4cc. The engine is air cooled, 4 stroke and having a single
cylinder. The gear box is equipped with 5 gears with constant mesh
transmission. Clutch is multi-plate wet type. The frame of the female is
double cradle synchrostiff. It boasts higher ground clearance i.e.
180mm. The bike is having both self and kick start.
Acceleration
You can achieve a top speed of 125 kmph with this flying
machine. The 0-60 kmph acceleration is covered in just 4.15 seconds and
this can be viewed in timer which is incorporated at the dashboard.
Fuel Efficiency
The maximum fuel tank capacity is 16 litres and 2.5 litres of
reserve. The larger fuel tank is designed to give more comfort to the
rider's knee. As per the rough estimation, one can get a mileage of
around 35-40 kmpl. however, on highway the mileage will be a little
higher than city area. The mileage is supposed to be lower than commuter
bikes as it is a sports bike with a high displacements 177.4cc.
Colours
The bike is available in four eye-catching colours. The colours are yellow, grey, black and white.
Available colours Are :
Brakes
The bike is equipped with high performance 270mm petal disc
brakes at front and 200mm petal disc at the rear to make it a safer bike
to ride at any speed. The brakes have jewel shape design.
Suspension
The TVS Apache RTR 180cc has the usual telescopic fork
at the front and mono tube inverted gas filled shock (MIG) with spring
aid at rear. The mono shock absorbers gives unmatchable jerk free riding
experience. The suspensions have a new mechanism that is called poly
shock. Poly shock promises smooth ride and less friction. The
suspensions are silver coloured.
Wheels and Tyres
The machine is having tubeless tyres with the tyres
specifications of 90/90-17 at front and 110/10-17 at the rear
respectively. Six spoke alloy wheels attract with classy looks. The
company provides only TVS tyres in the bike which is largest in the
segment.
Wheel Base and Controlling
The rear tyre's wheel base is wide enough to provide better
grip on road. The wheel base is 1326, cool. Stability, handling and
control is more powerful than the bikes in the segment.
Comfortness
As far as the comfort is concerned, the rider will be pleased
with comfortable curves of tank and seat. But the pillion will be a
little unhappy as no backrest is provided. However, foot-pegs and foot
rest are there to add to his comfort. Handling is also enhanced in the
bike. Wide rear wheelbase and petal disc brakes come classy and up to
the safety standards. Mono suspension is incorporated that gives
pleasing ride as 'pony' at any speed and surface.
Pros
The bike is unmatchable in its segment as compared with
performance, style and handling. The final verdict is, it is a complete
sports bike. 0-60 timer on dashboard.
Cons
No rear backrest for pillion rider. The power train is not upgraded except displacement.
