Rider Profile

Best ForWell suited to beginner and early-intermediate riders who want a lively, easy-to-manage commuter-sport bike.

Rider FitLight weight and low seat height make it accessible and easy to handle for most rider sizes.
CharacterA nimble, budget-friendly street sport bike that rewards revvy, playful riding over raw power.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders seeking highway touring comfort, high-speed performance, or off-road capability.

2016 TVS Apache RTR 180 ABS Rider Ergonomics Assessment

Calculated in your browser only - your height/inseam are never sent to our servers.

Feet:

At 800mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2016 TVS Apache RTR 180 ABS, with a cramped knee angle of around 70 degrees and a forward-leaning riding position.

Data quality: measured. Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary). This is an approximation from category-typical geometry and generic body proportions, not a measurement of this specific bike or you - sit on it before you buy.
