TVS Apache RTR 310 is storming the world of the motorcycle, the combination of the daring design, extremely modern technologies, and raw technicity makes this bike the ultimate eye candy. This streetfighter is aimed towards those riders pumped with a sense of adrenaline, whether they are riding among the movements of the city or just going out on a weekend trip. Apache RTR 310 is a perfect bike in terms of engine power, appearance that is aggressive, and intelligently designed features: a dream bike.
Bold Design That Catch the Eyes
Looking at the Apache RTR 310 on the first sight we are impressed by its angular and aggressive design. An angular shape and an aggressive pose of the bike add some futuristic look (almost cyborg like). Its dual LED headlamp lights are not only cool but also intelligent as it senses the speed and the surrounding light and adapts according to the parameter to give better visibility. The sleek tail end and the sculpted fuel tank increase its sporty look and the twin strip tail lamp lights up in red when being hard braked to caution other road users. It comes in two bright colors: Arsenal Black and Fury yellow so you will certainly be noticeable when riding it in every place.
The design of the RTR 310 is not all about the looks, but performance design. The bicycle is easy to manoeuvre into tight turns or in a busy road with the light trellis frame weighing only 169 kg. 800 mm seat height can be reached by most of the riders and the sitting position is comfortable and there is a sporty riding position which can be used to ride in long rides and short commutes.
Power-Packed Performance
The engine used is liquid-cooled, single-cylinder 312.12cc with 35.6 PS power energy and 28.7 Nm of torque at 6,650 rpm off the block. The engine is also shared with its sibling, Apache RR 310, which has been tuned up to deliver helpful mid-range power that makes everyday urban riding a breeze and highway riding a pleasant experience. The maximum speed of the bike is approximately 150 kmph, which is great news to speed enthusiasts.
The equipment is adapted in terms of the six-speed transmission as well as a bi-directional quickshifter in superior versions, providing quality and almost flawless gearshifts, which can save you kilometers and milliseconds while riding hard. It has a ride-by-wire system and five riding modes—Urban, Rain, Sport, Track, and SuperMoto—that allow customizing the performance of the bike to suit the road or weather conditions. The Urban mode is ideal in stop-and-go traffic, whereas Sport and Track modes release the full power of the bike in aggressive rides. Rain mode is a soft approach to distributing power, and its application improves security on slippery roads.
Technology This Separates It
The main thing that makes the Apache RTR 310 truly special is that it has a long list of high-tech features, or rather, many of them are first in its segment. A 5-inch TFT screen is brilliant and serves as a command center to the rider. When connected to your smartphone using a Bluetooth connection, it displays all details, including speed and gear position, navigation, and call alerts. You may even manipulate your GoPro camera or switch through your playlist with toggle switches and make every ride more connected and fun.
A lot of attention is paid to safety as well. The motorbike also has dual-channel ABS and six-axis IMU, which allows cornering ABS, traction control, and wheelie control to keep you in control when you can really feel it. The optional climate-controlled seat, heating and cooling, will change the long journeys in extreme climatic conditions, as it will ensure your comfort regardless of the temperature. Another exclusive element is the so-called Digi Docs, which allows storing and watching documents such as your license or your registration on the TFT display using the TVS Connect app.
Handling and Ride Quality Ride quality is subjective, but you can trust the ride quality/handling team in gauging how well the car performs during a ride.
The Apache RTR 310 excels in the handling department. Its inverted forks on the front and monoshock rear absorb shocks smoothly as it provides a hard ride in a soft manner. To satisfy those that would like to have a say, the optional Dynamic Kit has completely adjustable suspension to tailor the car to city or twisty roads. The tires, Michelin Road 5, have great grip, which gives one confidence when taking a bend, and the disc brakes offer good stopping power, but some riders reveal that the lever on the brakes is a bit soft.
The upright riding position of the bike is already comfortable and sporty enough to enjoy every day or weekend trips. The pillion seat is commodious and comfortable, and it also has good footpegs, which means your passenger will also enjoy the ride. The RTR 310 is easy to maneuver around, regardless of whether you are going through traffic or taking corners.
Value for Money
Available at a price of about 2.5 lakh onwards, depending on the configuration (depending on base Arsenal Black version without a quickshifter) the Apache RTR 310 will provide you with a bang-for-your-buck factor. The variant at a middle ground, with a quickshifter, has been priced at 2.67 lakh and the top-spec Fury Yellow one is priced at 2.72 lakh (ex-showroom). When you buy the bike fully loaded with Dynamic and Dynamic Pro kits, the total value can go as high as 3 lakh, but the value-added features such as adjustable suspension and high-tech are worth a purchase by serious riders.
The RTR 310 is more competitive than other competitors benchmarked as the KTM 390 Duke, BMW G 310 R, compared to the better features and criteria in terms of prices. The fact that it consumes about 30-35 kmpl, depending on the way used to ride it, makes it even more practical as an everyday use bike. Its fuel tank of 11 liters offers a fairly good range of 330-380 km that would satisfy the customers who prefer not only short trips but also some longer ones.
