Pulsar 180 UG-4 vs Apache RTR 180 : Let's Rate the Rebels

Pulsar 180 vs Apache RTR 180

Ofcourse it's really a difficult task to ompare two great warriors who are rebels knocking out meach other in various aspects.

Pulsar180 - All time hero, won many awards and races. But UG4 upgrade had a big change in the bike's performance, looks, handling, etc...

Apache RTR180 - Racing bike just took a step ahead and with unlimited performance packed with the same old sturdy body design.

Lets start the comparison with the Engine:
Pulsar has the bigger engine with 178.6cc, where as Apache has got only 177.4cc. Also considering the performance of the engine Pulsar is more efficientnt than Apache.

Top Speed:
Both the bikes carries a tag of top speed of 125Kmph. But actually pulsar 180 will not cross 119 where as Apace has some speedo - errors which inturn will equal the top speed of both the bikes. But i personally feel that Apache will be 2 or 3 Kmph faster than Pulsar 180.

Pick Up:
The Racing Throttle Response wins here, since pulsar will have very low torque at higher rpm (say above 9500rpm) where the bike will not reach better speed within its 4th gear. Once 4th gear is reached Pulsar will start ruling the road.

Mileage
Pulsar wins Apache in terms of mileage. Apache cannot provide you a good mileage (at max you can expect 42kmpl). But pulsar can make you feel better with its 47kmpl mileage on city roads and above 50kmpl on highways)

Price:
Both the bikes are ost effective and not much costlier. but a solid difference of 5000 persists between the price of Apache and Pulsar.Apache can be bought for around 71,000.Rs and Pulsar can be brought around 67,000.Rs incluive of Tax,regn. and insurance.

Final Decision:
Best Value for Money: Pulsar 180
Best Racing experience: Apache 180

The best bike of the two is none and i consider both the bikes as equal competitors and announce that both the bike has won the race in Indian Bikes Review.

Hoping that am Honest!!!

Cheers!!!
