Dear Customer
Congratulations on the taking home the new Apache RTR 180. Rest assured you can look forward to exciting times ahead. And
you will know what we are hinting at every time you gun that throttle that is meant to live up to its name - Racing Throttle
Response 180.
The priority in every step of the RTR 180 development has been Performance first. Every system, every detail and every
component has been studied and pared down to its essence and performance increased to the maximum. If it didn't make the
RTR 180 lighter, faster or deliver quicker lap times on our Racetrack, it wasn't considered.
The result: the RTR 180 is the fastest motorcycle with the highest power-to-weight ratio of any sport bike we have ever made. It
is the lightest, fastest stopping, quickest lapping TVS bike in history. For the first time TVS Racing‘s Dirt and Road racing
technology have been combined to create a racing bike that is Street Legal, but just barely. The results are stunning.
DESIGNED BY THE RACE TRACK
The look and stance of the RTR 180 were designed by the combination of race track technology, track-derived components at
our Apache Racing Group. The bike's striking aerodynamic shape naturally embraces its Racing Ergonomics. The all new Tank
Scoops and new Data logging facilities which display Top speed and 0 - 60 lap time are the seen for the first time.
Also this Owner‘s Manual has all details to ensure your bike is in top notch race ready condition.
So get astride and burn rubber on every road you hit. Every road will now seem a race track.
Enjoy Riding!

SAFE RIDING RECOMMENDATIONS
Any two wheeler riding requires some precautions to be taken to ensure the safety of the rider, pillion rider and
other road users. These precautions are:
Familiarise yourself with new Apache RTR 180
Riding skill and your mechanical knowledge form the foundation of safe riding practices. We suggest you to
practice riding Apache RTR 180 in a low-traffic condition until you are thoroughly familiar with your vehicle and its
controls. Remember practice makes you perfect.

Loose, fancy clothing can be uncomfortable and unsafe when riding a two-wheeler. Choose good quality two
wheeler riding apparel.

SAFE RIDING TIPS
SAFE RIDING TIPS
-04-
Posture
Proper vehicle riding starts with proper posture.
1. Keep your elbows inside close to the body and
flexible.
2. Hold your arms at an angle of about 120°.
3. Hips should be in a position so that arms and
shoulders are relaxed.
4. Look widely instead of gazing at one point.
5. Relax to guard against a sudden impact.
6. Hold the tank tightly with knees.
7. Point the toes straight ahead.
Cornering
When cornering, centrifugal force works in a
direction perpendicular to the direction in which
the vehicle is moving. Centrifugal force increases
in proportion with speed and the radius of the
corner.
During cornering, reduce speed so as to lessen the
effects of centrifugal force. By all means, avoid
abrupt application of brakes or sudden steering.
Warning
One-hand riding is dangerous. Keep both hands
firmly on the handle bar and both feet securely on
the foot rest. Under no circumstances should both
the hands be removed from the handle bar, as it is
very dangerous.
Avoid use of mobile phones while riding as it could
lead to fatal accident.
Do not downshift the gears in the midst of cornering.
Slow down to a safe speed before negotiating a
corner. If this is the first time that you are riding a
vehicle of this type, we suggest that you practice on a
safe, open area to become thoroughly familiar with
the operation of the vehicle.
