TVS Apache RTR 310 2025 Launched: Company Targets Young Riders with Bold Design and Features
TVS Motor Company has finally rolled out the long-anticipated Apache RTR 310 in India, and buzz around the bike is sky-high. Branded as a performance streetfighter, this new machine zeroes in on younger riders who crave both style and speed on city streets and open roads. Wielding an eye-catching design, the RTR 310 also boasts what TVS calls first-in-segment tech you rarely find outside premium models.
A More Aggressive Version of Apache
Though built on the same frame as its fully faired sibling, the Apache RR 310, the RTR strips away the fairing to give riders a naked streetfighter attitude. Stand beside it and you cant miss the sharp headlamp, wide muscular tank, and split seat that flow from one angle to the next. Bold cuts, subtle vents, and a mini fly-screen work together to channel air while keeping the look razor-edged, so it feels equally right in traffic and on the highway.
Engine and Performance
Really, the TVS Apache RTR 310 carries the same 312.2cc liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine you'd find in the RR 310. From that block, you get about 34 bhp and 27.3 Nm, numbers that work well whether you're in the city or on an open road. The motor links up to a 6-speed box that features both a slipper clutch and a quick-shifter, letting you swap gears smoothly and quickly.
TVS has tuned the RTR to deliver a punchier low-end, so the bike feels eager from the moment you twist the throttle. That tweak makes everyday stop-and-go riding, as well as the occasional highway blast, a lot more enjoyable.
Features That Stand Out
Being a flagship model, the Apache RTR 310 comes packed with first-in-segment gadgets. You get three riding moods-Urban, Rain, and Sport-and each one changes how the throttle and traction work. On top of that, the dynamic stability control system throws in cornering ABS and traction control for added confidence, especially when the road gets twisty.
Up front sit upside-down forks, while a mono-shock handles the rear, and both are tuned to give you solid feedback and nimble handling. Dual-channel ABS is standard, rounding out a pretty robust safety package.
Rider comfort gets its due, too, thanks to an adjustable seat height. If the factory setting feels too tall or too low, you can crank it up or down. Add the optional dynamic kit and you get adjustable suspension, brass-coated levers, and even a race-tuned exhaust for that extra sporty soundtrack.
Expected Price and Market Positioning
TVS has set a bold price tag for the Apache RTR 310 in a move aimed directly at the street battle with the KTM Duke 250, BMW G310 R, and Honda CB300R. Industry sources suggest an opening ex-showroom sticker of Rs 2.4 lakh. With this launch, TVS is clearly eyeing college students, young pros, and pure-bred enthusiasts who want a good-looking, zingy ride from the 300cc club.
Bookings are already live at a bunch of dealerships and on the TVS website, so riders can easily grab a slot. First deliveries should roll out in just a few weeks.
Competition and Outlook
By unveiling the Apache RTR 310, TVS signals it wont settle for second place in the performance-biking scene any longer. The RR 310 already has a passionate following, yet the new naked version hopes to pull in anyone who prefers the raw, upright feel of a streetfighter.
In a country where speed seekers demand top thrills without breaking the bank, the RTR 310 seems to hit that sweet spot. Real-world tests and customer feedback will be the final judge, and both should surface over the next few months.
TVS seems set to grow its Apache series even more, and people view the new RTR 310 as a smart step to stay strong in the crowded mid-size motorcycle scene.
