TVS Motors is a well-established brand in India as well as internationally. Not everywhere but has an ever increasing influence. After all those bad memories of the old Apache RTR 150 and the RTR 180, here is a completely new beast that has dealt with many refinements reducing vibrations and increasing the RTR (Racing Throttle Response) feel from the Racer's choice Over-square engine.
2012 Saw many a technological changes,automotive industry grew further and so did tech. Apple introduced iPhone 5, Bajaj Started over with Pulsar 200NS and TVS came with Apache RTR 160, 180 and 180 ABS (Yeah, Wired, but with this blog technology and automotive have to go hand-in-hand). With 180 ABS being the first bike to boast ABS under the 100k range.
So, with the 180 ABS, its purely visible to the dancing naked eyeballs (pardon the language) that this is targeted towards the Indian crowd which can flaunt the comfortable 180cc and still flaunt ABS Braking. However, its an awesome move considering the recent moves from Bajaj consisting of the Pulsar 200NS aiming the youth which wants everything but a totally hefty price tag!
With Apache, TVS has also aimed the countries with the 150cc (on paper) limit (Yea that's crazy) but true. Apache is 150cc on paper while giving a whole advantage of 10cc over traditional engines of the Pulsar 150 DTS-i and the 153cc of the Yamaha FZ-S.
Totally Not a Bad Move.
Alongwith its killer looks neither much Aggressive nor much dull, just another city bike that looks perfect on the track. Just that perfect bled is what TVS Motors has found over with this bike. The dual-disk version of the RTR 160 features two Roto-Petal Disc Brakes, that takes it away and it also features the largest tank in the segment.
Its ever known awesome sound remains perfect and retains the bassy (rich) feel that is RARE!
The RTR 180 is a complete beast designed to race and the Black one looks like a "Bat-Vehicle".
In-all the new Apache(s) can be a spark to the fuel and that's what the company needed the most at the moment!
Lets see what's more to these roaring engines...
Stay Tuned!
