programmed to whip up an astonishing 17.3 PS (PS) making it one of the
most powerful bike in its class on Indian roads. The bike has a top
speed of 125kph with a 0 to 60kph timing of just 4.15 seconds. Stylish
alloys, unique grab rails, chiseled fuel tank, front and rear petal disc
brakes seamlessly coalesce to make the Apache RTR 180 a spectacular and
trendy motorcycle.
These new launches are expected to further increase sales in their
respective segments.
