TVS Apache

RTR 160 is my second bike. First one was Pulsar 150 by Bajaj. Actually i was looking for the first model of Apache RTR, the yellow beauty but landed in next model RTR 160. To be true i was totally into RTR because of the advertisement, in which the two glowing eyes in the dark. Remembering those days, trying to do the same during our night rides. During the initial time, i was getting a vibration between 58 and 64 speed, but after the 3rd service the issue was all gone. Till date my best companion for roads and my solo trips. Iam not speed fan so do not know much about RTR performance over 80.

Hello I have purchased tvs apache rtr 160 4v fi 3 moths back and i am writing this review after riding the bike around 2500 kms.1. Buying experience 1.Its good i rate 2/5. During the sales tvs company claims 60 kmpl is the mileage and average mileage is around 50 .But you hardly get 35-40 mileage which could be worst if you are expecting mileage and a daily commuter better don’t buy if not if have to spend a lot only on filling the petrol 2.Riding experience 1.Its good i rate 4/5 3.Details about looks, performance etc.1.Looks : it has a great look which has convinced me to buy this bike. 2.Performance is moderate on the performance of this bike . It has a great engine power but worst mileage. I hardly get 35-40 mileage which is most worst part of this bike. 4. Servicing and maintenance.During the sales they don’t mention on the servicing and maintenance part but this bike has to be filled with a special synthetic oil which costs around 700 per filling which is double the cost of general oil . 5.Pros and cons 1.Pros : good performance in terms of engine power 2.Cons : worst mileage hardly 35 kmpl and high maintenance than a general bikes in this segment.

I bought this Bike for the College Purpose using it for 2 years, And Really 101% satisfied with the bike. The initial acceleration of the Bike is Just Awesome... seats are also very comfortable for the driver as well as for the Pillion🤟🏻 Engine is very Smooth and Refined 20.5 PS of power is enough... the styling of the bike is also awesome.. you can Get to the highways as well as in city any time... riding position is also Good... maintenance cost is Low ... but too much vibration at High speed... if you go 110+ you"ll definitely feel the vibrations in the handle and Foot rests.... It could get LEDs but Halogen is sufficient at night.... missing the USD Forks .... getting mileage of 38-40 kmpl....

BEST OPTION FOR SOMEBODY WHO NEEDS THE AGGRESSIVENESS OF A SPORT BIKE AND THE COMFORTS OF A COMMUTER. THIS BIKE WON"T COST YOU MUCH FOR MAINTENANCE ON A REGULAR BASIS, BUT YOU"LL HAVE TO EMPTY YOUR POCKET IF YOU EVER NEED A PART REPLACEMENT. I REALLY DON"T HAVE A CLEAR IDEA ON HOW LONG THE BRAKE PADS ON SUCH BIKES LAST, BUT I HAD TO REPLACE BOTH THE FRONT AND REAR BRAKE PADS JUST AFTER 4800KM OF REGULAR SMOOTH CITY RIDES. VIBRATIONS ARE A PROBLEM WITH THIS MONSTER BUT ONE WILL GET USED TO THEM. I"VE HEARD EXCELLENT REVIEWS ABOUT THE TVS CUSTOMER SERVICE ALL AROUND INDIA BUT HERE IN VISAKHAPATNAM, THE CUSTOMER SERVICE EXPERIENCE IS JUST BAD... HERE THEY CHARGE HEAVY AMOUNT FOR LABOUR CHARGE. I HOPE TVS WOULD CUT DOWN COSTS OF SPARE PARTS AND IMPROVES CUSTOMER SERVICE EXPERIENCE.

Apache Rtr 180 is definitely a good commuter bike. It is basicaly designed for city riding. Its engine is torqy and power starts to build up right from 3000 rpm and goes upto 7000. Its top end has very poor pull as engine only generates noise. Vibrations are very much felt at every point on bike such as footpegs , side view mirrors and visor . Nothing can be done to avoid it.Seats are comfortable but start feeling itchy after 40 - 50 kms of ride.Mileage in cities is around 40 - 42 KMPl and on highways increases upto 45-48 KMPl.stock tyres are not that good , provide less grip on wet road.Its maintenance is cheap untill you have to replace any of mechanical parts. Normal service will cost around 575₹ under free service .1025 ₹ paid service.for 2018 model.
