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..."

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..??Originally posted by rc007 View Postrtr 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!...
"
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.

Still undergoing tests? I thought, TVS is all set to launch itOriginally posted by sai_ace View PostThe rtr180 will be priced around the rtr 160fi mark. also the 180 is undergoing some serious tests in and around hosur and Mysore. very high chances of spotting one as most of the test mules are in white colour. Performance is the single most priority for the guys behind teh RTR 180. and thats good for us right?

I appreciate Bajaj, they always give more than what the competition provides, now it is upto TVS to match Bajaj for the goodies. As for performance, I know which one's gonna be better no doubts on that.

On Road Prices:Originally posted by Lost Soul View Post
Source: OverdriveThe RTR FI (Rs 76,600 on-road MumbaI) is actually just Rs 1687 more than the FZ (Rs 74,913 on-road Mumbai).
P180 UGIII On Road price in Mumbai was around Rs. 67,000. Source: BAL Website.
With the P180 UGIV costing about Rs. 3,000 more than the UGIII, the new price of the P180 UGIV becomes around Rs. 70,000 (Which is still a good Rs. 4,000-5,000 lesser than the FZ16 and RTR 160 Fi)Leave a comment:
