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.
