TVS Apache RTR 180 Matte Red: Pros & Cons
Pros

- Powerful Engine
- Good Value for Money
- Vast Service Network
Cons
- Vibrations at High Speeds
Our take on this /// Verdict
The TVS Apache RTR 180 Matte Red is a formidable contender in the 180cc segment, offering a blend of performance, safety, and style. While it may not be as smooth as some of its competitors, it compensates with its raw power and aggressive design. The bikes handling is commendable, making it a joy to carve through corners, although the tire grip could be better. The addition of ABS and rear wheel lift-off protection enhances safety, a crucial aspect for Indian roads. However, the bikes comfort is somewhat compromised when riding with a pillion, and the vibrations at high RPMs can be a bit bothersome. Overall, its a great choice for young riders seeking a powerful and feature-rich motorcycle.
Price
In India, the TVS Apache RTR 180 Matte Red is priced competitively. The ex-showroom price in Delhi is around Rs. 1.33 lakh. However, the on-road price, which includes additional costs such as registration, insurance, and other local taxes, can range from Rs. 1.55 lakh to Rs. 1.65 lakh, depending on the state and local regulations. This pricing makes the Apache RTR 180 an attractive option for those looking for a performance-oriented bike without breaking the bank. The EMI options start from approximately 4,563, making it more accessible to a wider audience.

Review on my matte blue ABS
Debjit Mukherjee | 8 years ago

Yesterday itself (23/11/2015) I purchased Matte blue ABS version of this cool bike. I already had one 160 RTR and Pulsar 180. But this one beats them. Powerful engine with high thrust power with good center of gravity are best features of this bike. Moreover the matte Blue colour is really awesome and makes it different from others. I will recommend all of you that always you can go for this bike as you'll never regret. Good luck !!
Best Features: ABS, Balance, throttle , looks
Pros: Braking, as usual high and quick pick-up, good balance and last but not the least .. its awesome looks
Cons: Servicing at TVS stores is really pathetic
