TVS Apache RTR 180 Maintenance User Reviews

I bought apache rtr 180 with dual disk brakes in january 2016.Yesterday i sold the bike.I will write my honest review about the bike.First good things, Its speed and power.Before apache i had pulsar 180 but i must say apache is far better than pulsar in terms of speed & power.I also like the sound a lot.Ride quality is good.Now bad things.First of all is mileage.Its really depressing to get 30-35 kmpl when petrol is 90rs per litter.No matter how much servicing maintenance i did, It gave me 35kmpl only and for last one year i am getting 30kmpl.Be it in city or highway.Secondly rusting.Tvs should really look into this matter.There are rusts in so many under areas.No other bike gets rusty within 3 years.Thirdly the brakes & grip isn't something which gives you confidence at high speed.Once it skided on a completely dry road and i fell down.Luckily i was only at 50kmph so nothing serious happened.Thanks to helmet.Fourth : vibration.It really gets into your nerves after a year.You loose all confidence to go faster.Thats all guys.

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.

I was thinking to buy this because this bike has dual-channel abs and this bike has a very good fuel capacity and good average also.The bike looks very stylish and what a biker wants is all there in this bike.Mainly this bike has a comfortable seat.The headlights of this bike are really good.But timely maintenance of the bike is always required.

All over performance is average as per the name of tvs the average is also good but not excellent.i have purchased this bike in 2011 after 7 yrs around it works good so I terms of that the bike is Good in condition but it depends on your maintenance as well how you ride it rough or smooth.

Service cost and maintenance is too high.And no proper trained personnel in service centres too.And the bike parts productions will itself are being stopped, Before bikes being discontinued.I will never recommend this bike to any one in my life infact i will never opt tvs in future.

In best condition and the engine is like new.No modification done completely stock bike and maintenance only done in service centers.
