TVS to Launch Apache RTR Menace 180cc
Posted on August 13th 2008If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
Due to drop in sales and hence in profits during the last financial year, TVS wants some improvements in its models. Hence the company is planning to introduce new-improved editions of its existing portfolio.
The company has started the plan with their recent launch of Apache 160 RTR FI.
And now the next is TVS Apache RTR Menace which will arrive with the 180cc engine and with few cosmetic improvements too. The company is also working on 200cc edition of Apache with ABS (Anti-lock Braking System).
The Menace is coming during festival season in October or November.

hope dt apache 200 is very smoother than rtr 160 and karizma and also hopes that it achieves the top speed greater than 150.i request u to get 6 gears in 200and also hopes that it will be launched before march of the next year.but in rtr headlights needs adjustment and improvement,i also hopes that it consists of xenono headlamps.and greenish or bluish light on speedometer.so i hopes dt the model,design is totally different (such as the headlight and taillight) from rtr menace and also hopes dt it has the dimensions greater than 180.and also hopes that the bhp of 200 is greater than 25 and it achieves the acceleration of 100kmph in less than 7 sec and 60kmph in less than 3 sec.and it has the power:weight greater than 150.i hopes dt the indicator of 200 is also LED and it has six gears,and it has double disc brakes on the front tyre like on hayabusha.so it can beats the record and the performance of pulsor220 and karizmaR
but my thinking is that why only 200cc not 300cc?????????????????

Please change the Rear Shok absorb in 180 and 200,because Presently I used Apache RTR160 &the Bike Rear Shok absorb not work in Good.Pulsar Shok absorb Is very good,But Bike Is not good.
but my thinking is that why only 200cc not 300cc?????????????????

guys there is no such words as hope because i am 100% sure that apache rtr menace is going to take over all indian bikes especially that yamaha r15 which is known as the fastest bike in india with a top speed of 145 kmph. however that does not concerns me at all because if you go through bike india magazine then it will tell you that its top speed is 130.96 kmph but it pulls to a high speed of 145 to 150 kmph.
However guys just put a bit presssure on your little brain and think if a r15 can pull a top speed of 130.96 kmph just imagine what a Menace can do when its top speed is 135 kmph which is more than yamaha’s top speed according to R&D.
Simple it can take yamaha for a ride however i don’t underestimate yamaha because i like that brand.But bajaj how stupid it took them 4 years to build a bike like karizma and when they came out with the bike there were all sorts of problem gear box,bike needs to have atleast 5 to 6 litres petrol in order to start.
So guys the Menace is coming to burn the road be ready to handle the beast cause once you are on it you will not be an ordinary person but a superior that has the potential to handle any fighter aircraft just like the f22.
BEEEEEEEEEEEEEE REASDYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Maverick do u know the basic difference in TVS & YAMAHA.YAMAHA is world class compony.The quality of YAMA is far better than TVS.Can TVS is able to install same specifications of R15 like forged piston (it is use in race cars of MERCADES), Diasial cylinder.This things are just basic.The real part is handling.Can u take turns in 60-70 speed.NOOOO !!! I know that . The bike ‘ CC ‘ is not important it is proved by R15.The current RTR go to 120-125.Then if u increas the 18.8 CC then it go at max 130.First drive R15 then only u understand.Go on mouthshut.com

great interest in larger bikes. indian companies have unbeleivable engineeering skills. tvs, bajaj and hh , others are combining fuel efficiency with power. WHAT A DEAL INDIAN BIKERS ARE GEETING FOR LESS THAN 2000 DOLLARS!
I;ve seen hondacb250, yamaha virago250, hyosung 250GTR-Sports, my old suzuki gsx250 all give poor fuel EFFICNECY AND they are all priced at minimum 4000 dollars….
MAYBEE indian biker makers not launching these 200cc or 250-300cc bcoz fuel efficiency drops….my 650 gives me 23 when i drive between 60-100 kmph only….if i touch 140 or above then the fuel efficiency drops to below 20…otherwise my 650 gives me 22+…..
maybe bike makers feel if 200-300CC bikeS give around 30kmpl for indian petrol prices…not enough people to buy their bikes…IS THAT WHY?

TVS WORLD CLASS COMPANY….IF THEY LAUNCH TVS RTR WITH 200CC WITH 21HP AND SELL FOR EVEN 1 LAC - IT WILL BE A RUNAWAY HIT……BECAUSE THE NEXT CLOSEST HONDA WITH LESSER FEATURES AND LOOKING LIKE OODEEBAABA WILL COST 7000….
TVS IS A GREAT COMPANY NOW…I UNDERESTIMATED IT…NOW I WILL NOT…BCOZ OF GOOD REVIEWS FROM BHARAT-DESH…
CMON YAAR, GIVE A CHANCE TO DESI WALON TO KICK SAOME ASS TO JAPANESE GUYS…AFTER ALL JAPANESE GUYS STARTED IN 70S AND THEY WERE NOT AS GOOD AS INDIA…AND BHARAT WASIS ARE MORE INTELLEIGENT THAN JAPANESE.
MERA BHARAT MAHAAN…NOT THE USELESS POLITICANS AT CENTER NOW…

my brother has pulsar 220 and i have apache rtr 160fi.i dont feel pulsar is much better than apache. if there is an upgrade of apache about 250 cc with its max speed i would buy it within days. fuel efficiency does not matter to me.
its good to here that apache 180 has got tubeless tyres.
but the bellow models does not have it.
the 180 has got 110 section,17 inch rear i heard that it is not radial tyre grip.
it would be nice if there is abs for 200 and such range
i feel in 150 range apache is the best
the front disc is amazing in apache not even pulsar 220 got that much power of about 270D.
THANKS TO TVS FOR APACHE RTR 160 FI
