TVS Apache RTR 180 ABS Features

TVS has launched the first Indian bike to feature ABS (Anti-lock Braking System), the new TVS Apache RTR 180 ABS. This new TVS Apache RTR 180 ABS looks similar with the non-ABS version and is available in only white shade with orange decals.

Anti-lock Braking System technology is an integration of a HECU (Hydraulic Electronic Control Unit) and Independent Wheel Speed Sensors which help determine when a wheel is likely to get locked. When the brakes are applied hard, the wheel tends to lock. At this point, the HECU takes over instantaneously and modulates the brake pressure continuously to keep the Apache RTR 180 ABS in the most effective braking zone. The Apache RTR ABS is also equipped with Rear Wheel Lift-off Protection (RLP) system which regulates deceleration when the bike is likely to lift off during emergency braking situations and takes over control, with no loss of stopping distance.

This new TVS Apache RTR 180 ABS features a 177.4cc, Single Cylinder, 4 Stroke Petrol engine which develops a maximum power of about 17.3 Bhp @ 8500 rpm and a maximum torque of about 15.5 Nm @ 6500 rpm. This new commuter bike, TVS Apache RTR 180 ABS will feature a top-speed of around 125kph and is expected to accelerate from 0 to 60 kph in around 4.15 secs. This new TVS Apache RTR 180 ABS, with a 5-speed Manual Gear Transmission will give a mileage of around 39 kmpl in the cities and around 47 kmpl in the highways. This new TVS Apache RTR 180 ABS will also feature Telescopic Forks Suspension at the fornt and Gas Shocks, Rectangular Swingarm Suspension at the rear. It also comes with a 270mm Petal Disc Brake at the fornt and a 200mm Petal Disc ABS Brake at the rear.

Last week, this new TVS Apache RTR 180 ABS gets launched in the Indian market and is priced Rs 9000 more than the non-ABS version, ie around Rs 87,900/-.
