            Over all good at performance
            It's good bike with good efficiency and mileage. You can use this for long time use. Proper air cooling. Best bike for long drive. It makes you feel so comfortable. You will enjoy the throttling. Feels smooth. Premium category and very under rated one.I suggest everyone to buy this bases on my experience

            Apache rtr 180 review
            Overall experience good but city mileage very low only 35 in chennai. 80k run in native salem i achieved 46 mileage but in chennai it is very low. Plastic bodies get dull after 50k.Overall looks and bike looking good. Small size bike and riding feels vibration after 50 speed. Double disc feels good compare to drum.

            Best for City rides
            Apache RTR 180 is a powerful bike for city traffic and quick pick up while overtaking other vehicles. Pickup performance is good even in high speed. In lower rpm the bike vibrates a bit. Braking is also good. For long rides it's not suitable. Best for city commute and short trips within 100kms. For long rides it will be pain in the ass, need to stop at every 50kms

            Overall bike is best commuter
            Overall bike is best commuter bike in this segment. Mileage is very good but I have one and only issue that is when I shift it to cng mode it will become missing in throttling and engine becomes off at the running that only problem in this bike without this problem this bike is good for daily use. And it's engine performance looks good at all
