Like other Apache BS6 motorcycles, the Apache RTR 180 gets Glide Through technology. This setup boosts revs when you begin to roll off to prevent the motor from stalling. This technology, previously seen only on large capacity motorcycles like the Suzuki GSX S1000. The first TVS motorcycles to get it were the  Apache RTR 160 4V BS6 and Apache RTR 200 4V BS6. 

 

The underpinnings remain unchanged:
