About the Reviewer

Ridden for (If Owned)	15000+ km
Got mileage of	39 kmpl

Before going into the writing - actually I was a pulsar fan boy since childhood and until the college and was thinking about ns200 / 220f but my parents declined my idea stating it is a deadliest bike of that time. Then, I just thought of going for a below 200cc bike.
Bought my bike in the year 2017 (August) and it has been 4 years and I love each and everyday riding it. Done around 36000 kms, mostly city commute and took for 2 to 3 long rides (300 kms to 500 kms at a stretch) and it was very memorable in my life.
Coming to the buying experience - actually, it was not so good for me - that time, i was checking out for Apache RTR 180 ABS (not for the braking, safety though) but for the name badge that comes in the silver color and metallic.. But my bad luck, it was not available in the showroom and since I was no longer having patience, I went with the normal version in my favorite color - pearl white.
That time, to be frank - i never had driving license and I applied for it and with it I was practicing for my driver's test with it and I completed the test with my bike itself and by that time, I got more familiarized with it.
On the riding front, only one thing sometime annoying is the non abs front disc brakes which could cause you injuries in some unfortunate situations and discourage you to apply front brakes during rains and bad roads. And the other thing would be the usual one which we all could have heard - vibration, but it doesn't bother the rider and after 85 km/h, even the pillion would not feel the vibration.
And looks - it is subjective but I feel, it is one of the good looking motorcycle and even today, it stands in the market. One thing i love the most is the clip on handle bars which is better than all the bikes out there. It gives you a greater sports bike like ergonomic posture and everyone loves it. People would say, it might give you back pain but I never experienced such as you are committed to the bike more and the other reason would be age :p (maybe I may get back pain when I ride in my 30's). Another thing, i loved the apaches were exhaust note, but due to bs4 and now bs6, the true bass tone of the exhaust pipe is not there but still, you could hear it in a silent surroundings.
Also, the bike is budget friendly. I was servicing it in the TVS showrooms until 25000kms which cost me around 2500 Rs. per service once for three months but now giving it in local garage which is 1500 Rs / service cheaper than before - even sometimes, it costs me only 700 Rs..
Summary:
Pros - look- head turner for sure, initial pickup (way better than other 150/200 cc bikes), highway performance, budget, mileage, pillion seat (for ladies)
Cons - vibration (not felt by the rider but pillion) between 65 km/h and 85 km/h, need better aerodynamic structure (wobbles sometimes - i suppose, even the other bikes do in side winds), front fork (very light and small in diameter and bad roads easily cause oil leaks), rear suspension (many feel, mono suspensions are better and but i felt it was good since all our favorite bikes our ages had double suspensions)
It is surely a better buy and even i see people buying it in 2021 and they are happy about it.
Thanks folks for giving me a chance to pen down my experience i had with my bike!
Wear helmets ! ride safe ! enjoy ride ! live happy !

Apache 180 backs up its aggressive stance with equally impressive performance. Powered by a refined 180cc engine, this bike delivers a punchy performance that is sure to satisfy even the most demanding riders. The throttle response is crisp, and power delivery is linear across the rev range, making it a joy to ride both in the city and on the highway.

My buying experience with the Apache RTR180 is very good because I bought this bike on Dhanteras. The riding experience is also very good. Every day I go to the office on this bike. This bike is looking very attractive and dashing. This bike has grown my personality. All my friends and colleagues love this bike. I always maintained my bike services and time to time checked the engine oil to confirm that all the things was normal.

Apache rtr 180 (2016 model)
1 year ago
Aman
I bought Apache 180 Rtr white colour in 2016 and till today I drove more than 60 thousand kilometers. One thing that I notice is if you drive on premium petrol then this bike behaves like a sports bike on normal petrol and works like a normal bike. Pros 1. High pickup 2. Feel lightweight while driving compared to Pulsar and other 180 cc bikes. 3. Good for short-height people.
Con 1. Not for long runs 2. Mileage is not up to the mark 3. For every 3000 km need to change the brake pad overall good in the starting days but now after 2021 maintaining this bike is a little expensive for me.

Tanmoy Roy
This a nice bike for daily usage. I am student and I really enjoy every time when I ride this beast!! This is such a great bike with a great power. Mileage also good not the best.
Suspension and sit is superb This generate a super power and the tire grips on road are too good.
Brakes are useful especially disc break.
I can carry heavy leagues for my business. Don't forget to wear a helmet every time you ride because everyone can make mistakes.

My Dad bought this bike for himself, but after some time, it was my time to ride this bike. It's a very powerful machine in this segment. You can believe it with closed eyes. My dad's model bike is 2015. Powerful machine in this price segment and its milege is very good but when you hold your hand loose in acceleration.
I rate this bike 9/10 because this doesn't include a gear indicator.

I was having a duke and apache rtr 180, I sold my duke and couldn't feel the comfort in apache throttle response as compared to the duke, so I increased the "cc" to 200, by modifying it, and it has a k&n filter but still, I'm getting mileage upto 46 in highways and 43 in the city. Feels proud to own an rtr-180[200] bs-3.

Ride quality & handling ride on Apache is good and braking performance is also very good. Rider and pillion do not have much stress and the combo of rear mig shocker performs well. The handling department is tougher at high speed due to excessive vibrations coming from the engine that result in the rider down the speed.

Powered by a refined 180cc engine, this bike delivers a punchy performance that is sure to satisfy even the most demanding riders. The throttle response is crisp, and power delivery is linear across the rev range, making it a joy to ride both in the city and on the highway.

My Dashing Bike Apache RTR 180
37 weeks ago
Abhinav Singh
My buying experience with the Apache RTR180 is very good because I bought this bike on Dhanteras. The riding experience is also very good. Every day I go to the office on this bike. This bike is looking very attractive and dashing. This bike has grown my personality. All my friends and colleagues love this bike. I always maintained my bike services and time to time checked the engine oil to confirm that all the things was normal.

Apache rtr 180 (2016 model)
1 year ago
Aman
I bought Apache 180 Rtr white colour in 2016 and till today I drove more than 60 thousand kilometers. One thing that I notice is if you drive on premium petrol then this bike behaves like a sports bike on normal petrol and works like a normal bike. Pros 1. High pickup 2. Feel lightweight while driving compared to Pulsar and other 180 cc bikes. 3. Good for short-height people.
Con 1. Not for long runs 2. Mileage is not up to the mark 3. For every 3000 km need to change the brake pad overall good in the starting days but now after 2021 maintaining this bike is a little expensive for me.

A 180cc beast.

Tanmoy Roy
This a nice bike for daily usage. I am student and I really enjoy every time when I ride this beast!! This is such a great bike with a great power. Mileage also good not the best.
Suspension and sit is superb This generate a super power and the tire grips on road are too good.
Brakes are useful especially disc break.
I can carry heavy leagues for my business. Don't forget to wear a helmet every time you ride because everyone can make mistakes.

Totally worth

My Dad bought this bike for himself, but after some time, it was my time to ride this bike. It's a very powerful machine in this segment. You can believe it with closed eyes. My dad's model bike is 2015. Powerful machine in this price segment and its milege is very good but when you hold your hand loose in acceleration.
I rate this bike 9/10 because this doesn't include a gear indicator.

I was having a duke and apache rtr 180, I sold my duke and couldn't feel the comfort in apache throttle response as compared to the duke, so I increased the "cc" to 200, by modifying it, and it has a k&n filter but still, I'm getting mileage upto 46 in highways and 43 in the city. Feels proud to own an rtr-180[200] bs-3.
