TVS Motor Company has unveiled its latest flagship motorcycle, the TVS Apache RTR 310, setting new benchmarks in the sub-400cc naked streetfighter category. Priced competitively starting at ₹2,43,000 (ex-showroom), this model combines futuristic design, cutting-edge technology, and thrilling performance. Designed with precision and rooted in TVS’s rich racing legacy, the Apache RTR 310 is tailored for the performance-focused rider who values comfort and innovation.
Aggressive Design and Ergonomics
The Apache RTR 310 sports a bold, streetfighter look with a cyborg-inspired LED headlamp and an aerodynamic frame. Its Hyper Spec Trellis Frame not only enhances structural integrity but also contributes to a lightweight kerb weight of just 169 kg. The bike’s stance, paired with wide handlebars and an optimized riding triangle, ensures agile maneuverability and superior control, whether in urban conditions or on winding roads.
Innovative Technology
- Climate-Controlled Seats:
The RTR 310 introduces segment-first climate-controlled seats that offer three levels of heating and cooling. This feature ensures comfort across diverse weather conditions, a thoughtful addition for Indian riders. - Dynamic Stability Control:
Powered by a 6-axis IMU, the Race-Tuned Dynamic Stability Control ensures superior safety and performance. This system incorporates Cornering ABS, Traction Control, and even Cruise Control for highway stability. - Smart Connectivity:
A 5-inch TFT display serves as the motorcycle’s digital hub, offering features like smartphone connectivity, GoPro integration, and navigation powered by what3words. The console also provides live telemetry data and crash alert functionality, showcasing its focus on rider safety and convenience.
Performance That Thrills
Under the hood, the Apache RTR 310 is powered by a 312.2cc liquid-cooled engine producing 35.6 HP and 28.7 Nm of torque. The engine is paired with a 6-speed gearbox featuring a bi-directional quick shifter for seamless gear transitions. Riders can choose from five ride modes—Urban, Rain, Sport, Track, and Supermoto—each designed to enhance the experience in varying conditions. Supermoto mode, for instance, disables rear ABS for a more spirited ride.
Rider-Centric Features
TVS has gone beyond performance to deliver features that elevate everyday usability:
- Safety Enhancements: The bike’s adaptive headlamp adjusts brightness based on speed, while the taillight flashes during hard braking to alert vehicles behind.
- Built-to-Order (BTO) Options: Riders can customize their bike with factory kits, tailoring it to their unique preferences.
The TVS Apache RTR 310 blends aggressive styling with cutting-edge technology, offering a premium riding experience. From its climate-controlled seats and advanced safety features to its powerful engine and race-derived dynamics, the RTR 310 is a testament to TVS’s commitment to innovation and performance. Whether you’re a daily commuter or an adrenaline-seeking enthusiast, this motorcycle is built to excite.
