TVS has just unleashed its fiercest and most captivating offering yet in the Indian market, the TVS Apache RTR 310!
Based on the stellar foundation of the Apache RR 310, this new addition to the Apache family promises an exhilarating ride like no other.
Aggressive and Dynamic Design Language
After catching the first glimpse of the TVS Apache RTR 310, it’s clear that TVS has masterfully crafted a machine that exudes aggression from every angle, similar to the KTM.
The bike’s deisgn is nothing short of thrilling, featuring a sharply sculpted fuel tank adorned with shrouds, a distinctive two-piece seat, and a tail section that raises the adrenaline levels.
The bike also features what TVS calls an ‘Adavptive Bi-LED Cyborg’ headlamp that is brightest in the segment. It comes with a smart control that automatically adjusts the throw and brightness based on the speed and ambient lighting conditions.
The RTR 310’s exhaust, borrowed from the Apache RR 310, adds a sonorous note to its athletic demeanour. With its single-piece tubular handlebar and slightly rear-set footpegs, the rider’s posture remains sporty yet comfortable, promising an engaging experience on the open road.
Powerhouse Performance
Underneath the Apache RTR 310’s captivating exterior lies a heart that beats with unbridled power. TVS has generously endowed this beast with the same 312.2cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine found in its faired sibling, the RR 310.
This motor churns out 35bhp at 9700rpm and a torquey 28.7Nm at 6650rpm, all channelled through a slick six-speed gearbox. The addition of a slipper-and-assist clutch enhances control, while the claimed top speed is 150kmph.
Cutting-Edge Hardware and Features
The TVS Apache RTR 310 boasts an impressive hardware setup that elevates its performance to new heights. It rides on USD front forks and a monoshock, both fully adjustable for preload, compression, and rebound, ensuring a plush yet dynamic ride.
Braking prowess is provided by a single front disc and a single rear disc, backed by dual-channel ABS. These components are mounted on 17-inch wheels clad in dual compound radial tires, guaranteeing superb grip and control.
Tech-Savvy Marvel
Tech-savvy riders will find themselves right at home on the Apache RTR 310. A fully digital TFT display takes center stage, offering not only essential readouts like speedometer, odometer, trip meter, fuel level indicator, gear position indicator, and temperature but also seamless smartphone connectivity.
This feature opens up a world of possibilities, including call and SMS notifications and document storage, adding convenience to the thrill of the ride. The bike is also loaded with rider aids, including ABS, side stand cut-off, and ride modes.
Notably, the Apache RTR 310 boasts a climate control seat, a six-axis IMU unit for cornering ABS, cornering traction control, and cornering cruise control, a tire pressure monitoring system, and a bi-directional quickshifter, making it one of the most tech-rich bikes in its segment.
Unbeatable Value
