  • Cannot understand your question
Q. I am bit confused between Apache RTR 180 and Hornet 2.0 which one should i go for can anyone share there reviews?
  • Selecting between the two would depend on certain factors such as budget, performance, preference of the brand, etc. TVS Apache RTR 180 gets a peppy engine 177.4cc single-cylinder fuel-injected engine that makes 16.79PS of maximum power and the bike is a great handler too. However, the bike boasts an old design and with the BS6 updates the bike remain a fan FAVOURITE for the time being. On the other hand, Honda has unleashed its brand new Hornet 2.0 which is a performance-oriented naked bike with great styling and thriving mid-range performance. The 184cc single-cylinder air-cooled mill churns out 7.27PS at 8,500rpm and 16.1Nm at 6,000rpm. However, with its price tag, Hornet 2.0 locks its horns with the likes of TVS Apache RTR 200 4V, Bajaj Pulsar NS200, Royal Enfield Bullet 350, etc. Moreover, we would suggest you to take a test ride for a better understanding of comfort and compatibility. You may click on the link and select your desired city for dealership details.Read More: - All The Juicy Details Of The Honda Hornet 2.0 - [Do The Hornet 2.0’s Rivals Have What It Takes To Stir Its Nest?@https://www.zigwheels.com/news-features/news/honda-hornet-20-vs-tvs-apache-rtr-200-4v-vs-bajaj-pulsar-ns200-specification-comparison/39583/
  • Go for 180rtr has got oil cooling and better low end torque.Oil cooling helps for non stop touring. Hornet 2.0 is over priced and underpowered for a 185 cc Engine. Honda yamaha suzuki makes their engine smooth by reducing compression ratio and making it underpowered and sell it overpriced. Some Indians who has inferiority complex to buy Indian brands will fall for the japanese. Don't support this marketing gimmick of honda yamaha suzuki. Buy Indian brands brother. Why wasting your money to make the Japanese rich.
Q. Which is the best to buy TVS Apache RTR 180 or Honda CB Unicorn 150?
  • It would be unfair to give a verdict here as the Honda CB Unicorn 150 has been discontinued and it is not available for sale. On the other hand, TVS Apache RTR 180 is a fun-to-ride motorcycle with quick handling dynamics and a range of safety features. The razor-sharp handling makes it a hoot to ride and it is a value-for-money vehicle. Moreover, we would suggest you to take a test ride before making the final decision. Follow the link and select your city accordingly for dealership details.
  • Apache 180 is better...it's gives the mileage of 42-43kmpl.

    an updated version 

    The tvs apache rtr 180 is a better version and an updated sibling of tvs models. I have the red colour of this bike and exterior wise it looks quite good. It has good mileage, enough ground clearance and satisfactory and easy controls. The engine is powerful and the seat is comfortable and wide. My friend also has this model and it is quite reliable for daily commute.

    Value for money bike  

    TVS Apache RTR 180 has a similar design like Apache RTR 160 4V but the performance is upgraded. it has a 177 cc engine which gives a smooth performance on highways with a decent mileage of 45kmpl. the brakes were loose which was repaired in first maintenance. the rear suspension adds more comfort to the ride.

    Effortless performance 

    After used this bike since 5 months i just said this bike is awsome with great pickup, impressive braking, reliability and also with great mileage. TVS Apache RTR 180 comes with torquey and peppy engine that gives great power and quick respond also the brakes are very solid but also gives vibration. I love the headlight and DRL design in this bike and the power delivery is very good but Apache RTR 160 4V is better in features, finishing, swichgear quality, braking.

    simple and sleek look 

    My TVS Apache RTR 180 is known in well known my colony due to its attracting due to its sporty design and decent performance. It has a 177.4cc, BS6-compliant engine and has a mileage of around 48 kmpl. When i ride it in highways its top speed of around 115-120 kmph, which is sufficient for city riding. Its price generally comes around ₹1.33 lakh. The TVS Apache RTR 180 weighs around 140 kg which is decent but its mileage is not satisfying .

    My Real-World Experience  

    Having ridden the TVS Apache RTR 180 for a few months now, I found that it has robust performance and striking design. The bike's 177.4 cc engine delivering a power of 16 PS at 8500 rpm, provides a thrilling ride, specially suitable for quick city commutes and occasional highway sprints. The torque of 15.5 Nm at 7000 rpm also means that the bike has enough power to get moving quickly from a standstill.Handling is another area where the Apache RTR 180 shines, thanks to its responsive chassis and suspension setup.
