Engine Performance and Mileage 9.5

The 177.4cc, single-cylinder, oil-cooled engine that powers the TVS Apache RTR 180 complies with BS6, and it also features TVS' new Race-tuned (RT-FI) fuel-injection technology for improved power delivery and good fuel efficiency. This BS6 motor produces 15.5 Nm of maximum torque at 7000 RPM and 16.5 bhp of maximum power at 8500 RPM. The engine is paired with a 5-speed manual transmission. Speaking of performance, the Apache RTR 180 produces respectable power and torque numbers on paper. However, you'll truly love riding this motorcycle in everyday situations.

In comparison to the Apache RTR 160 4V and the Apache RTR 200 4V, the TVS Apache RTR 180 does not offer the same ballistic performance. But even at greater speeds, this BS6 motorcycle feels pretty calm and has a respectable punch. Although the Apache RTR 180 has decent mid-range and low-end power, its top-end performance isn't that impressive. The motorcycle is quite easy to ride, and you can easily cruise at speeds of 80 to 90 kmph all day long. However, the greatest cruising range for getting the best fuel economy is between 50 and 70 kph. In realistic riding situations, the Apache RTR 180 achieves a mileage of 45 to 50 kilometres per litre, which is respectable for a 180cc motorbike.

Summary

The TVS Apache RTR 180 BS6 offers decent performance. It does not offer instant thrust or good top-end punch, however, the motorcycle mid-range performance is very strong. The Apache RTR 180 delivers good fuel economy too.

Mileage	47 kmpl
Engine Displacement	177.4 cc
Top Speed	113 kmph

  Great Ride, Poor Service
  The ride is awesome with good acceleration, safety features, digital meter reading, side fuel tank flaps, and strong suspensions that give it a rich look and great comfort. However, the service experience hasn’t been good so far, and the chain tends to loosen quickly after long rides.

  Stylish Yet Costly Ride
  It’s a good vehicle with nice looks, flexible driving, and good features. However, there’s a little discomfort for the pillion rider, and the maintenance is slightly expensive. Overall, it has good standards and style, but the cost could have been a bit lower.
