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.

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 TIPS

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.

Riding apparel

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

wheeler riding apparel.

Know your limits

Ride within the boundaries of your own skill at all times. Knowing these limits and staying within them will help

you avoid accidents.

Warning

happen is a head injury. Always wear good quality helmet. You should also have good suitable eye protection.

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.
