It serves as a sportier alternative compared to other regular commuter motorcycles present in the two-wheeler market. It strikes a nearly-perfect combination of performance, style, handling, and mileage, which continues to appeal to Indian buyers, especially younger riders. First launched in 2009, the Apache RTR 180 has been updated multiple times over the years, with the most comprehensive update arriving in 2020, when it was upgraded to meet BS6 norms and gained riding modes (Sport, Urban, Rain), along with several subtle changes.

Meanwhile, in Urban and Rain modes, power and torque drop to 13.87PS at 8250 rpm and 14.2Nm at 6000rpm, respectively, to ensure better control and efficiency in different riding conditions. 

The Apache RTR 180 top speed is 113kph in the Sport mode, while it is limited to 102kph in Urban and Rain modes. Despite its performance-oriented setup, the bike delivers decent fuel efficiency. ​As per ARAI, the Apache RTR 180 mileage is around 45kpl.
