Performance is the single most priority for the guys behind teh RTR 180. and thats good for us right?
    Still undergoing tests? I thought, TVS is all set to launch it

      rtr 160 fi being priced that heavy is understandable with so much tech going in it...but rtr 180 being so heavy on the pockets is a puzzle. Its like "That's a bike that don't know what bike it is!..."

          I agree.. the "Fi" kit does cost a bit.. and hence the extra pricing is justified for the RTR 160 "Fi". But then the RTR 180 has a carb setup.. right..??

          Would bikers be ready to pay that high for 20 extra cc, a few horses more, an exclusive white color and tubeless tyres..?? Even the P180 UGIII was priced just 1500-2000 more than the P150 UGIII.

          One might say when guys are shelling out so much for the FZ16, then why will they think twice for the RTR 180..?? But then the FZ16 is a different kind of bike.. The Visual Appeal of the FZ16 is right now unmatched.

            Ergo man ergo...........RTR180 has race ergonomics and FZ16 has muscle ergonomics...........they are beauty queens and hansome Kings in their own looks.RTR180 is gonna be compared with ZMA,P220 and R15.It looks different in its segment and aggressive too.Guys more daring and fearless wud definitely go in for RTR180s.

            By the way wats the price point of RTR180fi...........it being discussed so much.

              Err.. actually I would put it in this way, "Guys who care for pure performance and Not merely Looks would prefer the RTR 180"..

              Lets hope that the RTR180 really delivers whatever has been speculated about it.

                Trust TVS to be heavily banking on the performance of this bike. and yeah the benchmarks they have set are quite interesting. and challenging if i may add.

                  According Zigwheels TVS would be launching the 180 this month.
                  Excerpt :
                  "Hosur-based TVS Motor Company will be launching the new Apache 180 RTR Menace sometime this month. The new bike will have a larger engine than the existing model and it will also be up on power to fight with its rivals in the premium segment. The exterior will remain identical to the Apache RTR 160 with minor design changes but the new bike will pack in more homegrown technology..."

                              Yesterday there was a news item on CNBC TV18 about TVS' strategy to increase their market share. It included a new Flame, Sport and A 180.

                              Now, what caught my attention there was the picture of the new A180, yes the white one, and Shireen asking to catch the Overdrive Auto show, for more! I just hope they have a first ride report on the show

                                As far as my Understandings..... Flame is on the cards.....

                                June 1st week will see a new edition of flame getting released....
                                and By June last week or so the RTR is planned to be released....

                                May be TVS is waiting for Pulsy 180UGIV......
