The TVS Apache RTR 310 is a bold step forward in the premium streetfighter category, combining power, advanced features, and aggressive styling. Inspired by the Apache RR 310, this naked machine is designed for riders who want an everyday commuter with the thrill of track-ready performance.
At its heart, the RTR 310 runs on a 312.12 cc liquid-cooled, single-cylinder engine, producing around 35.6 PS of power and 28.7 Nm of torque. It comes paired with a 6-speed gearbox, equipped with an assist & slipper clutch and a bi-directional quickshifter for smooth shifts. With a claimed 0-60 km/h in just 2.81 seconds and a top speed of around 150 km/h, this machine offers exciting acceleration and strong highway capability.
The motorcycle rides on a trellis frame with an aluminium subframe, supported by upside-down front forks and a monoshock rear suspension. Braking duties are handled by discs at both ends with dual-channel ABS. Higher variants also feature advanced systems like cornering ABS, traction control, launch control, and wheelie control, giving riders extra confidence and safety.
Tech lovers will appreciate the 5-inch TFT screen with TVS SmartXonnect, offering Bluetooth pairing, navigation, GoPro control, and more. Additions like heated & cooled seats, tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS), and multiple riding modes (Urban, Rain, Sport, Track, SuperMoto) make it one of the most feature-rich bikes in its class.
Weighing about 169 kg, with a ground clearance of 180 mm and a seat height of 800 mm, the Apache RTR 310 balances practicality with sporty handling. Its 11-litre fuel tank may limit long-distance touring range, but it keeps the bike light and agile.
Priced from Rs.2.40 lakh (ex-showroom India), the Apache RTR 310 competes strongly against rivals like KTM Duke 390 and Honda CB300R, offering a feature set that punches above its price. With optional Built-To-Order kits, riders can customize performance and aesthetics to match their personality.
Verdict
The TVS Apache RTR 310 is perfect for riders seeking a balance of style, technology, and raw performance. While it may not be the most fuel-efficient or simplest to maintain, its advanced electronics, aggressive looks, and sharp handling make it one of the most exciting bikes in the 300-cc segment today.
