TVS Apache RTR 180 Rear Fender / Rear Mudguard – N9222000 (Earlier Disc & ABS)

TVS Apache RTR 180 Rear Fender / Rear Mudguard – N9222000

Model-specific rear mudguard for the earlier TVS Apache RTR 180 rear-disc and ABS body assemblies. Part number N9222000 is identified in the TVS parts catalogue as FENDER REAR, with one unit in the applicable earlier assembly.

The rear fender is the bodywork component around the motorcycle's rear-wheel and tail section. It helps shield adjacent rear-body areas from road spray and debris. This individual spare is intended for replacing the matching original fender when damaged or broken.

CRITICAL FITMENT WARNING: N9222000 is not a universal Apache rear mudguard. TVS lists N9223890 for the later RTR 180 Refresh rear-fender assembly, and its service manual says N9222000 is not interchangeable with the earlier RTR 160 rear fender. Confirm the original part number and mounting arrangement before buying.

Quick product specifications

Exact motorcycle fitment: read before ordering

Why this matters: TVS used a different rear-fender design on the RTR 180 compared with the earlier RTR 160, then listed a different fender again for the RTR 180 Refresh. The motorcycle name or registration year alone cannot resolve these differences. Confirm the original SKU wherever possible.

Rear mudguard, rear flap and rear bracket: different components

Some stores use the words “rear mudguard,” “tail mudguard,” “rear fender” and “rear flap” interchangeably. The TVS exploded diagrams list distinct components. For an accurate repair, identify which actual piece is missing or broken.

The separate TVS N9222040 rear-fender bracket is listed by Under The Hood and can be ordered independently if that bracket is also damaged. Inspect the exact bike configuration first.

What you receive

1 × rear fender / rear mudguard – TVS reference N9222000.

Not included as separately supplied items: rear fender flap (N9222010), rear fender bracket (N9222040), tail lamp, turn signals, rear licence-plate bracket, reflector, rear seat/body panels, screws, nuts, washers, clips or installation labour. Hardware may need to be reused or ordered separately according to its condition.

When should the rear fender be replaced?

Replacement may be appropriate when the original fender is cracked, broken, missing, distorted, or damaged at its mounting points. A loose rear mudguard can also be caused by missing fasteners or a damaged support bracket, so inspect the full mounting arrangement rather than assuming the fender itself is the only faulty component.

Before ordering: six checks that prevent wrong fitment

1. Confirm the full SKU: N9222000, with no additional suffix.
2. Confirm RTR 180 generation: earlier rear-disc/ABS configuration rather than Refresh.
3. Compare the old fender: shape, length, mounting holes and rear assembly profile.
4. Identify the damaged part: the main rear fender is different from the rear flap and bracket.
5. Inspect surrounding pieces: N9222010, N9222040, tail-light/number-plate hardware and mounts.
6. Check aftermarket modifications: tail-tidy conversions or altered number-plate carriers may affect fitment.

Installation and safety guidance

Professional installation is recommended if rear-body panels, tail lamps or number-plate components need to be removed. Support the motorcycle safely, remove the damaged component according to the model-specific TVS service procedure, and compare the new and old fenders before fastening.

Inspect the bracket, flap, retainers, threaded inserts and adjacent body panels. Use correct hardware and follow the manufacturer tightening guidance where applicable. Do not enlarge mounting holes, drill the bodywork, heat-bend the panel or force a nonmatching fender into position.

After fitting, check that all hardware is secure; the rear wheel has adequate clearance across suspension movement; and the fender cannot interfere with the tyre, chain, shock absorbers, wiring, lamps, brake lines or number plate. A loose part near the rotating tyre is unsafe.

Finish, material and product-condition note

This is a manufacturer part-number-specific rear-body fender. A precise polymer grade, finish, paint colour, net weight and packaging accessories have not been independently verified against the particular stock unit, so no unsupported material or colour claims are made. Inspect the physical product and its TVS packaging before fitting.

Genuine spare-part identification

N9222000 is a documented TVS Motor Company spare-part number. This establishes the OEM reference; the genuineness of an individual unit must still be confirmed from the supplied part, manufacturer markings and original retail packaging.

Frequently asked questions

1. What is TVS N9222000?

It is the rear fender / rear mudguard identified by TVS for earlier Apache RTR 180 rear-disc and ABS rear-body assemblies.

2. Does it fit Apache RTR 180?

The earlier rear-disc and ABS versions are documented in the TVS parts catalogue. Verify the original fender number and tail mounting configuration.

3. Does it fit Apache RTR 180 ABS?

The applicable earlier RTR 180 ABS catalogue lists one N9222000 fender. Later ABS Refresh configurations may use a different fender.

4. Does it fit Apache RTR 180 Refresh?

Do not assume so. The manufacturer rear-panel chart lists N9223890 for the Refresh rear fender, whereas N9222000 is listed for the earlier assembly.

5. Can N9222000 be used on Apache RTR 160 2V?

TVS service information explicitly states that N9222000 is not interchangeable with the previous RTR 160 rear fender. Order only after checking a model-specific cross-reference.

6. Is this suitable for Apache RTR 160 4V?

No compatibility has been verified. Do not order for a 4V from the model name alone.

7. Does it fit Apache RTR 200 4V?

No verified fitment. RTR 200 4V has separate rear-body references.

8. Is it a front or rear mudguard?

Rear. It is not the front mudguard mounted near the front wheel.

9. Is N9222000 the same as N9222010?

No. N9222010 is the separately catalogued rear fender flap / rear mudflap.

10. Does the package include the rear mudflap?

No separate N9222010 flap is listed as included with this individual rear fender.

11. Is the rear fender mounting bracket included?

A separate N9222040 rear-fender bracket is not included or guaranteed in this one-piece listing.

12. Is N9222040 the correct bracket?

N9222040 is the corresponding rear-fender bracket reference in the documented assembly. Verify the bracket condition and exact bike generation before ordering.

13. Is the number-plate holder included?

No. The separate licence-plate bracket and mounting hardware are not promised as part of this fender.

14. Are the bolts, clips and nuts supplied?

The parts catalogue lists these separately. A complete hardware kit is not included or confirmed.

15. Is the tail lamp included?

No. The tail lamp, indicators and their wiring are separate lighting parts.

16. Is the fender black?

The exact colour and surface finish of the item in hand have not been confirmed from stock photographs; inspect the supplied unit before fitting.

17. What material is it made from?

It is a motorcycle rear-body fender. An exact manufacturer material grade or polymer specification has not been verified for this SKU.

18. Will this stop mud and spray completely?

A correctly mounted rear fender helps manage rear-wheel spray and debris, but complete prevention of splash is not guaranteed.

19. Will it fit a bike registered in a particular year?

Year alone is insufficient because RTR 180 rear-body assemblies changed. Compare the fitted fender and the model-specific TVS parts diagram.

20. Can I replace only the rear fender?

Yes, when the original bracket, flap, fasteners and surrounding panels are serviceable and the matching fender is the damaged component.

21. What if the mounting bracket is bent or cracked?

Inspect the bracket separately. A damaged bracket may require replacing N9222040 or the applicable model-specific reference.

22. Will it fit if my bike has a modified tail tidy?

Fitment is not assured when the original rear mounting arrangement has been modified. Check the mounting geometry before ordering.

23. Does it include a new reflector?

No separately packaged reflector is included or specified.

24. Can I install it myself?

Correct panel removal, hardware alignment and tyre clearance are necessary. Professional fitting is recommended if you are unfamiliar with the rear-body assembly.

25. Is N9222000 a TVS OEM part number?

Yes. It is documented in TVS parts and service references. Genuine status of the individual retail unit should be confirmed from its physical packaging.

26. What should I check before installation?

Confirm exact part number, rear-fender shape, mounting holes, generation, frame bracket, tire clearance and whether other body parts were damaged.

27. Is the historical ₹742 figure the current MRP?

No. ₹742 was recorded in a TVS parts price list dated 2 May 2024. The current printed retail-pack MRP must be checked.

28. Why is a seller calling it an Apache RTR 180 rear mudguard?

Rear fender, rear mudguard and back fender are common buyer terms for this component; the exact reference to confirm is N9222000.
