    by

    2025 TVS Apache ADV SpiedTVS Motor is gearing up to make its debut in the adventure motorcycle segment with the Apache RTX 300
    Spied for the first time, new TVS Apache ADV showcases a promising design and features that position it as a strong contender against rivals like KTM 390 Adventure and Royal Enfield Himalayan.

    The latest spy shots reveal several design and feature highlights of the Apache RTX 310. The motorcycle sports a semi-fairing design with a prominent tower-like instrument cluster, likely housing a full-color TFT display offering navigation, music controls, and advanced ride analytics. The instrument cluster looks similar to the one seen on Raider 125. Not the vertical one on other TVS and BMW bikes based on the 310 platform.

    2025 TVS Apache ADV is equipped with alloy wheels, possibly sized at 19 inches for the front and 17 inches for the rear, catering to both on- and off-road adventures. Other notable elements include a rugged luggage rack, an upswept twin-shooter exhaust, and a scooped-out seat for enhanced rider comfort. Additionally, handlebar-mounted ORVM stalks and auxiliary lights, which might be standard fitment considering TVS’s feature-rich offerings, add to its practicality.
    The suspension system features USD telescopic front forks, with two finishes observed in the test mules—gold and black—indicating the possibility of multiple variants with differing features. A tall windscreen, side guards, and a well-thought-out seating arrangement further enhance its touring capability.

    At the heart of the Apache RTX 310 lies TVS’s newly developed 300cc RT-XD4 engine. This engine, unveiled at MotoSoul 2024, is a testament to the company’s advanced engineering. The RT-XD4 engine produces 35.45 PS of power and 28.5 Nm of torque, paired with a 6-speed gearbox and a slipper clutch.

    With features like dual overhead camshafts, a dual cooling jacket cylinder head, and a split chamber crankcase with a dual oil pump, the engine is designed for linear torque delivery and improved fuel efficiency. This new platform also supports better cooling, reduced oil consumption, and compliance with future emission norms.
    Compared to the previous 312.12cc engine, the RT-XD4 engine likely to offer nearly identical performance numbers but promises better refinement, enhanced cooling, and potentially lighter weight, resulting in improved power-to-weight ratio and overall riding dynamics. These advancements make it ideal for adventure touring applications.
    2025 TVS Apache ADV Spied
    The TVS Apache RTX 300 is expected to hit the market by mid-2025. With its cutting-edge features, rugged design, and the advanced RT-XD4 engine, it is set to strengthen TVS Motor’s presence in the premium motorcycle segment and offer a compelling choice for adventure enthusiasts.

      Modified TVS Apache Vortex 310 By Smoked Garage Looks Dope

      by

      TVS Apache Vortex 310 BY Smoked GarageWith Supermoto-inspired TVS Apache Vortex 310 custom build, Smoked Garage has turned the dopeness dial all the way to the max!
      One of India’s leading 2W and 3W vehicle manufacturers, TVS Motor, has a very diversified portfolio. In the motorcycle segment, TVS has Apache RTR 310 and Apache RR 310 as its flagship offerings. These motorcycles come with refined and performant powertrains along with comprehensive rider electronic aids.
      So, there couldn’t be anything more raunchy or sensational than these motorcycles from TVS, right? Renowned bike modification house, Smoked Garage, thinks otherwise and has come up with their version of this motorcycle. TVS Motor showcased the same on social media platforms, calling it Apache Vortex 310 by Smoked Garage.
      Apache Vortex 310
      TVS Apache Vortex 310
      Smoked Garage is a renowned motorcycle modifier based out of Bali, Indonesia. Known for their Cyberpunk and Steampunk theme modifications, Smoked Garage turns the dope factor dial all the way to the max on motorcycles they work on.
      Sticking with the new Apache Vortex 310 build by Smoked Garage, we can see a futuristic and minimalistic supermoto-inspired design. Overall appeal is very edgy and the attention to detail on this machine is laudable. It features a stripped-down appeal, shedding all of the bodywork that came from the factory.
      Apache Vortex 310
      Important highlights of this build include a custom angular racing fuel tank, a custom subframe with a minimalist LED tail light setup, maximum induction airbox, a high-grip performance seat integrated with air ventilation and anti-drag wheel covers at the front and back. The main highlight, however, has to be its sleek and perplexing dual exhaust setup.
      This exhaust setup has Orange highlights. Similar Orange highlights can be seen on its brake callipers, handlebar grips and on its minimal flat-tracker-like headlights. There’s an underbelly cowl with TVS Racing leaping horse logo also finished in Orange. Front USD telescopic forks get a muscular cover, finished in Black. Overall, Smoked Garage has played with White, Black and Orange colours very well.

      Same Powertrain
      Under its trellis frame, we can still see the reverse-inclined 310cc DOHC 4V/cyl liquid-cooled motor that is capable of generating up to 37.48 bhp of peak power and 29 Nm of peak torque, mated to a 6-speed gearbox, slipper clutch, bi-directional quick shifter and the motorcycle gets a plethora of electronic rider aids.
      Just last year, Smoked Garage also worked on TVS Ronin Musashi build, which TVS Motor showcased at 2023 MotoSoul. Musashi was showcased alongside Ronin Agonda by Germany-based JvB Moto, Ronin Wakizashi by homegrown Rajputana Customs and lastly, Ronin SCR by TVS’ in-house Design Team.

      TVS Unveils New 300cc Engine – To Power Upcoming Apache RTX ADV ?

      by

      TVS Unveils New 300cc Engine
      While there’s not much difference in power and torque output, the new 300cc engine can have benefits like refined performance and improved fuel efficiency
      At the ongoing MotoSoul 2024, TVS has unveiled an entirely new 300cc engine named RT-XD4. It has been designed and developed completely in-house at the company’s R&D facility located in Hosur. The new engine is a testament to the strong research and engineering capabilities of TVS Motor.
      TVS new RT-XD4 engine – Key features
      In comparison to the existing 312.12 cc engine, the new RT-XD4 engine has a displacement of 299 cc. Power and torque output of the new RT-XD4 engine is at 35.45 PS and 28.5 Nm. Bore is 78 mm, whereas stroke is 62.6 mm. The new engine gets a 6-speed gearbox and also has a slipper clutch. RT-XD4 engine has improved cooling, made possible with liquid cooling for the head and air-oil cooling for the crank cases.
      TVS Unveils New 300cc Engine
      TVS new RT-XD4 engine is built on an entirely new platform. Some of the key highlights include a dual overhead camshaft integrated with a down-draft port and a dual oil pump featuring a split chamber crankcase. For enhanced cooling, a dual cooling jacket cylinder head with a water jacket has been used. The new RT-XD4 also has a dual breather system. Its primary purpose is to restrict oil contamination and minimize oil consumption.
      TVS new RT-XD4 engine Vs. Existing 312.12 cc engine
      As compared to the new engine, the existing 312.12 cc engine generates 35.6 PS and 28.7 Nm. Bore and stroke figures are at 80 mm and 62.1 mm, respectively. The 312.12 cc engine is liquid cooled and is mated to a 6-speed gearbox with slipper clutch.
      [embedded content]
      As is evident, the performance numbers are a close match. However, the new RT-XD4 engine could deliver a better overall performance with its advanced architecture. TVS has stated that the new engine has highly linear torque characteristics. In essence, users can expect a seamless ride experience with the new engine.
      While not officially announced, it is possible that the new RT-XD4 engine could be lightweight. If that’s true, a higher power-to-weight ratio can be achieved. Another possibility is improved fuel efficiency. Achieving compliance with upcoming stricter emission norms could also become easier with the new RT-XD4 engine. From a business perspective, the new engine could have a lower production cost. Capital expenditure related to design and development will be adjusted over the long term.
      Which TVS bikes will use the new RT-XD4 engine?
      TVS has not revealed when the new RT-XD4 engine will reach the stage of commercial production. However, we do know that TVS has trademarked a new name – TVS Apache RTX. Spy shots have also revealed a blurred image of a new 300cc ADV bike being tested. This could be the first bike to get the new RT-XD4 engine. Reports also reveal that testing of the new bike is already in the final stages. And launch could take place around mid-2025. TVS already has the RTR 310 streetfighter and Apache RR 310 fully faired bikes. A new ADV bike will add more depth to TVS Motor’s 300cc portfolio. More

      TVS Apache RTX 310 ADV Leaked – Himalayan 450 Rival Launch In 2025?

      by

      TVS Apache RTX 310 RenderComing from TVS, Apache RTX 310 ADV will have an overload of features, gizmos, technology and an extensive electronic rider aids
      One of India’s leading 2W and 3W vehicle manufacturers, TVS Motor, is expanding its portfolio to include an ADV offering. The company has never launched an ADV yet, and will reportedly positioned on TVS-BMW’s 310 platform. Recent developments show that this motorcycle is in its final testing phase and could see a launch in 2025.
      TVS Apache RTX 310 ADV
      The company has an extensive lineup of premium bikes spread across Apache and Ronin brands. TVS has showcased a Scrambler version of Ronin, called Ronin SCR and might have launch intentions with this product as the design was patented too. ADVs like Royal Enfield Himalayan and KTM 390 Adventure are currently popular.
      TVS Apache RTX 310 ADV Leaked
      New developments from TVS camp suggest that the company is eyeing for a 310 platform-based ADV motorcycle. A recent report suggests that a 300cc ADV motorcycle has been spied testing and has reached final stages of testing with a production model reportedly set to launch in mid-2025.
      The report also attached a snippet of what looks like an ADV motorcycle from TVS. This could be taken from one of TVS’ internal presentations. Looking at the silhouette, one can deduce that TVS is going for a proper adventure tourer with a semi-fairing and a tall windscreen to protect riders from wind blasts.
      TVS Apache RTX Name Trademarked
      What can we expect?
      These developments call for speculations as to what we can expect from this upcoming motorcycle. For starters, we think TVS might position this under the Apache brand and utilise the already trademarked “Apache RTX” name. Going by company’s strategies, RR is a supersport, RTR is a street fighter and RTX could be an adventure tourer.
      Secondly, we can speculate what TVS might offer with this bike in terms of components. The leaked image suggests there may be 21-inch front and 18-inch rear wire-spoke wheels with tubeless tyres, fully adjustable suspension (compression and rebound front, rebound and preload rear) and disc brakes at both ends with switchable dual-channel ABS.
      TVS Apache RTX 310 ADV Render
      Where features are concerned, TVS is highly likely to jam-pack this motorcycle with electronics and features. We can expect a sophisticated IMU with cruise control, cornering control, traction control, ABS modes among others. We can see ventilated seats for both rider and pillion along with a TFT cluster with a plethora of features including music control and navigation.
      Powertrains-wise, the same 310cc reverse inclined single-cylinder liquid-cooled DOHC 4V unit might power the upcoming TVS Apache RTX 310 ADV. The 450cc twin-cylinder unit recently debuted on BMW F 450 GS Concept is highly unlikely. Same performance metrics as recently launched Apache RR 310, 37.5 bhp and 29 Nm, mated to a 6-speed gearbox, slipper clutch and bi-directional quick-shifter are possible.

      2024 TVS Apache RR 310 First Ride Review – SuperSport Feel For The Masses!

      by

      2024 TVS Apache RR 310 First Ride ReviewWhen compared to its immediate rivals like KTM RC390, 2024 TVS Apache RR 310 sets itself apart with a plethora of track-focused features
      TVS and Racing often go hand in hand. The company has a rich racing heritage and is among the few 2W manufacturers in India to incorporate their racing pedigree into their mainstream motorcycles. TVS Apache RR 310 did it the best but was growing longer in its tooth, when compared to the recently launched Apache RTR 310.
      When we say longer in the tooth, we mean in terms of technology and not design. Apache RR 310 has always been a handsome machine to look at. TVS has updated Apache RR 310 with a host of new updates to make it even more track-worthy. That’s exactly what TVS organised as part of the media ride event. We drove the new Apache RR 310 at CoASTT High Performance Centre in Coimbatore and here’s what we think about this new motorcycle.
      [embedded content]
      2024 TVS Apache RR 310 – First Ride Review
      Starting with prices, base model of 2024 TVS Apache RR 310 starts from Rs 2.75 lakh (Ex-sh). This variant loses out on a quick-shifter and if it is a priority, prospective customers can choose a one-above-base variant priced at Rs 2.92 lakh (Ex-sh). If you choose Bomber Grey, price jumps to Rs 2.97 lakh (Ex-sh) and buyers can also opt for Race Replica colourway for an additional Rs 7,000 (Ex-sh) with a personalised racing number, which is a nice touch.
      On top of these, we get two BTO packages with the new TVS Apache RR 310. These are called Dynamic Kit priced at Rs 18,000 and Dynamic Pro Kit priced at Rs 16,000. Dynamic Kit packs adjustable suspension (front and rear), TPMS and brass-coated chain. Dynamic Pro Kit is a suite of electronic rider aids bundled as RTDSC (Race Tune Dynamic Stability Control), enabled by a 6D IMU.
      2024 TVS Apache RR 310
      With the new updated Apache RR 310, there are hardly a couple of design changes. TVS has added aerodynamic winglets at the front for 3kg of added downforce, providing stability at higher speeds. The second notable design change is the transparent polycarbonate clutch cover, which is far more appealing to see in person than in the pictures. Its not an open dry clutch like seen on motorcycles like Benelli 1130R, but is a very cool party trick.
      Speaking of changes in the powertrain, TVS mentioned that they have a 10% lighter forged piston along with a host of other small updates focussed to reduce vibrations. Riding the motorcycle around CoASTT at all sorts of speeds, the vibrations were reduced, when compared to its predecessor. This reverse-inclined engine now makes 38 bhp of peak power at 9,800 RPM and 29 Nm of peak torque at 7,900 RPM.
      2024 TVS Apache RR 310 Reverse Inclined Engine With Transparent Clutch Cover
      Updated Apache RR 310 is the most powerful iteration of this engine co-developed by BMW Motorrad ever. Which is an impressive feat considering the 312.2cc displacement. With the new Apache RR 310, TVS also added adjustable levers as well, to appeal to riders of all sizes and preferences. Other than that, other attributes like 6-speed gearbox, slipper clutch, 5-inch TFT instrument cluster, dual-channel ABS, LED lighting are continued.
      Track Performance
      Since the new Apache RR 310 is all about updated mechanicals and electronic rider aids, let’s talk about how the motorcycle felt on a proper race track. The company claims 6.74 seconds to a 100 km/h and a 164 km/h top speed. In reality, the acceleration of Apache RR 310 has been sharpened and yields excellent throttle response and the motorcycle pounces ahead like a predator.
      2024 TVS Apache RR 310 Track Ride
      We can feel the reduced vibrations too and the overall NVH is improved considerably. Attacking the corners feels easy and second nature for Apache RR 310. That’s because of the committed riding position, race-type clip-on handlebars for better agility, proper rear-set footpegs and an extensive aerodynamic fairing with a very good windscreen, now completed with the added winglets for better aero performance.
      Amidst the sweeping section and technical turns, CoASTT also has a couple of straight stretches as well. The motorcycle was stable on the straights at high speeds, despite it being a very windy day in Coimbatore. Apache RR 310 corners like a dream, allowing riders to carry a lot of speed into the bends. Directional changes were very quick, thanks to the leverage these sporty clip-on handlebars provide.
      2024 TVS Apache RR 310 Aero Winglets
      The chassis is meticulously set-up for excellent handling characteristics. Forward set ergonomics allows the rider to load the front to extract more traction. We didn’t mess with the bike’s adjustable suspension as it was set for racing conditions by TVS. Petal brake rotors and ByBre callipers offered great stopping power and we didn’t find inconsistent braking performance even after extensive use on a track.
      Michelin Road 5 tyres on Apache RR 310 also play a major role in contributing to overall handling characteristics. These tyres provided excellent traction and allowed them to tackle corners carrying higher speeds. The bi-directional quick shifter does an excellent job and allows riders to bang on the gears depending on the conditions. The seat has a lot of room to wiggle around and shift positions to attack corners with as much lean as the bike allows.
      2024 TVS Apache RR 310 Track Ride Review
      What I loved the most about Apache RR 310 is how forgiving it is for riders with intermediate skills like myself. The bike does most of the work and induces confidence to push it harder. Apache RR 310 lends reliable and consistent feedback, making it very predictable. The more time spent with Apache RR 310, the more I trusted it. Allowing me to hone my skills further and push the motorcycle harder.
      Conclusion
      Riding the updated TVS Apache RR 310 on the race track reflects the company’s relentless pursuit to offer a taste of motorsport to general consensus. Sure, we couldn’t test all the electronic rider aids Apache RR 310 packs in the limited time we had with the motorcycle. But the updated TVS Apache RR 310 delivers the taste of a Supersport machine for a starting price of Rs 2.75 lakh (Ex-sh).
      2024 TVS Apache RR 310 Cruise Control Switch
      In the past, TVS has achieved a few incredible feats with Apache RR 310 platform. TVS Racing TR 310 D-T, a version of this machine clocked a quarter mile record of 11.5 sec with trap speed of 195 km/h. One particular unit aced the 24h endurance record of 3,657.92 km with an average speed of 152 km/h and then we have TVS Asia OMC track-machine based on RR 310 that clocked a top speed of 215.9 km/h.
      With 2024 TVS Apache RR 310, the company aims to offer a taste of this machine’s full potential in a road-legal package. Thus making their immense racing pedigree accessible for a wider audience. By offering features like aero winglets, Cornering ABS, Cornering traction control, Cornering Cruise control, Wheelie Control, Slope Dependent Control and Rear Lift-off Control, TVS Apache RR 310 has distinguished itself from rivals as a serious track-focused SuperSport machine for the masses.
      2024 TVS Apache RR 310 Track Ride
      There are many budding motorcycling enthusiasts in India and Apache RR 310 poses as a stellar first bike to hone their skills with extensive electronic rider aids and a meticulously developed components and powertrain. Currently, no other motorcycle in India offers this versatile package, making the updated TVS Apache RR 310 a default choice for motorsport enthusiasts. More

      2025 TVS Apache RR 310 Spied Testing – Updated Styling, New Features Expected

      by

      2025 TVS Apache RR 310 SpiedWhen compared to immediate rivals like KTM RC 390, Ninja Ninja 300 and Yamaha R3, 2025 TVS Apache RR 310 will be the most feature-rich
      When the first set of TVS Jupiter teasers went live, I wished the company rather updated the Apache RR 310 with all the electronics and powertrain improvements seen on Apache RTR 310. That’s exactly what TVS Motor seems to be doing as there is an Apache RR 310 test mule roaming in Hosur, near TVS manufacturing plant. This could be it.
      2025 TVS Apache RR 310 Spied
      Apache RR 310 was among the first motorcycles to come out of the strategic alliance between TVS Motor and BMW Motorrad. It featured an all-new platform and powertrain which was performance-oriented with an edge of sportiness.
      TVS launched the Apache RTR 310 last year and it featured an improved powertrain with more performance on tap. The main highlight of RTR 310, other than its street fighter styling, was the immense electronics suite never before seen on a motorcycle of its class. There are a few outlandish features like ventilated seats too.
      However, these electronics, features and powertrain updates never made it to Apache RR 310. TVS seems to be fixing this with a major update to RR 310, as suggested by the recent spy shots by motorradtheorymedia.
      2025 TVS Apache RR 310 Spied
      For starters, there are no major design changes seen on this particular test mule, suggesting that TVS could stick to the current silhouette. However, there are a few new elements seen on this particular test mule that will generate waves of debate and will be the talk of the motorcycling town. Of course, we’re talking about winglets attached on the sides.
      These winglets are usually seen on litre-class motorcycles and high-performance superbikes. The main aim of these winglets is to improve aerodynamics by reducing wingtip vortices and stabilising the motorcycle when braking and cornering. This is a new concept for a motorcycle powered by a 310cc single-cylinder engine in mainstream Indian motorcycle market.
      What to expect?
      Speaking of engine, 2025 TVS Apache RR 310 is highly likely to boast the same performance metrics as RTR 310 – 35.08 bhp of peak power and 28.7 Nm of peak power. Said test mule donned no camouflage, suggesting an imminent launch or it is just hiding in plain sight.
      TVS Apache RTR 310
      It has red plates registered in Bengaluru, Karnataka, suggesting that it is being tested by a third-party company. Probably for electronics. This is where the 2025 Apache RTR 310 gets more interesting. It is highly likely to get features like a slipper clutch, ride-by-wire throttle, TPMS, Bi-directional quick-shifter, and heated and cooled seat.
      TVS Motor will offer a 6-axis IMU on this motorcycle unlocking electronic rider aids like Dynamic stability control, Cornering ABS, Cruise control, Wheelie control, Cornering traction control, Rear lift-off control, Cornering cruise control, Slope dependant control and more. 2025 TVS Apache RR 310 looks like it is ready to be your next best friend for track days. Launch might happen soon.

      TVS Apache 310 Street Launch TomorrowTVS Motor will be launching the much awaited Apache RTR 310 tomorrow – Ahead of that, they have released a new teaserFor motorcycle enthusiasts seeking an optimal blend of style, performance, and affordability, TVS Apache has long been a favoured choice. TVS Apache lineup boasts a diverse range of bikes catering to various riding preferences, with the RR310 as its flagship model, developed in collaboration with BMW. Soon, riders will have even more options to choose from, as TVS gears up for the launch of the highly anticipated Apache 310 Street or the Apache RTR 310.TVS Apache 310 Street FeaturesEnthusiasts are likely to recognize the similarities between the upcoming Apache 310 Street and the BMW G310R, which is part of the BMW-TVS partnership that has seen success in over 100 countries. While some features and components are expected to be shared with the BMW G310R and the Apache RR310, the Apache 310 Street is set to establish its distinctive profile through changes in the front fascia, alloy wheels, exhaust system, and a vibrant array of colours.Recent test mule sightings and teaser releases have confirmed that the Apache 310 Street will come equipped with USD forks at the front and a monoshock at the rear. The bike will feature a split-seat design reminiscent of the RR310, a redesigned tail lamp unit, and a unique tyre hugger that also holds the number plate and turn indicators.One of the standout features of the Apache 310 Street is its new square-shaped TFT display, a departure from the vertically oriented rectangular unit found on the RR310. This change hints at the possibility of additional functions being introduced, building upon TVS’s SmartXonnect connectivity suite, which includes navigation assistance, ride analytics, ride planning, and access to calls and SMS.New TVS Apache 310 StreetTVS Apache 310 Street PerformanceUnder the hood, the TVS Apache 310 Street will be powered by the same 312.2cc, single-cylinder, 4-valve, liquid-cooled engine found in the RR310. Riders can expect the same array of ride modes – Sport, Track, Urban, and Rain – as those available on the RR310. In Sport and Track modes, the engine delivers an impressive 34 PS of maximum power and 27.3 Nm of peak torque. Meanwhile, in Urban and Rain modes, these figures drop slightly to 25.8 PS and 25 Nm.What sets the Apache 310 Street apart in terms of performance is its expected 10 kg reduction in weight compared to the RR310, which has a kerb weight of 174 kg. This decrease in weight is anticipated to result in a more exhilarating riding experience, with an improved power-to-weight ratio and potentially higher fuel efficiency. The bike’s riding stance is set to be more comfortable compared to its faired sibling, offering a shorter turning radius and enhanced agility and maneuverability.In practical terms, the Apache 310 Street is poised to be a more versatile and budget-friendly option within its class. TVS is expected to adopt an aggressive pricing strategy, making it one of the most affordable motorcycles in its segment. Bookings for the Apache 310 Street are already open, with the official launch scheduled for tomorrow, September 6, 2023. More
