      2025 Apache RTR 310 First Ride Review
      New model gets the same transparent clutch cover which we saw on updated Apache RR 310 last year. With 2025 model, TVS has added keyless functionality, which is a breath of fresh air in the premium street fighter genre. Michelin Road 5 tyres promise more traction and stability on roads and track. Biggest upgrade in features are with electronic rider aids on 2025 Apache RTR 310.
      2025 Apache RTR 310 First Ride Review
      The most notable addition is Launch Control, which can be turned on when Track Ride Mode is selected. When activated, rider should hold the clutch, go full throttle and release the clutch and the bike will launch with optimum traction. Also new, is Drag Torque Control, unlocked with its 6-axis IMU (Inertia Measurement Unit). This feature allows for aggressive downshifts during engine braking, preventing rear wheel slip.

      2025 Apache RTR 310 First Ride Review
      Performance – Road & Track
      2025 Apache RTR 310 is more of an experience upgrade than performance upgrade. That’s because this motorcycle still offers the same performance metrics that it used to offer before. It still offers 35.6 PS and 28.7 Nm in Sport, Track and SuperMoto modes and 27.1 PS and 27.3 Nm in Urban and Rain mode. So, the improved performance that we saw with 2024 Apache RR 310 is not a part of 2025 Apache RTR 310.
      2025 Apache RTR 310 First Ride Review
      It would have been more thrilling if TVS had infused the higher performance of updated RR 310. As things stand, 2025 Apache RTR 310 offers a similar performance as it did before. TVS had organised a track session at the CoASTT High Performance Centre in Coimbatore and a long road ride in and around Coimbatore.
      2025 Apache RTR 310 First Ride Review

      On the track, we only used launch control feature once at the start of our lap. It allowed us to launch this motorcycle like a missile without losing traction or the front wheel lifting off. It was a well tuned and implemented feature. Linear and cornering drag torque control worked well too and we didn’t once face any wheel slippage under aggressive downshifts on the race track.
      2025 Apache RTR 310 First Ride Review
      The Michelin Road 5 dual compound tyres offered excellent feel and feedback along with optimum traction, making track work breeze. This is also down to the combination of bike’s chassis agility, steering geometry, performance, extensive rider aids, impeccable braking, TVS’ extensive racing expertise and more. All these aspects give a boost in confidence to riders to tackle corners carrying higher speeds, lean more, brake late and throttle early.
      2025 Apache RTR 310 First Ride Review
      On the road, 2025 Apache RTR 310 offered excellent low-speed driveability and did not heat up as much in slow-moving traffic. Suspension tuning even at TVS’ prescribed settings, did a great job absorbing bumps and undulations of public roads. Suspension can be dialled up or down as per rider preference as they are fully adjustable for pre-load, rebound and compression with BTO variants.
      2025 Apache RTR 310 First Ride Review
      Conclusion
      There’s nothing to complain about the 2025 TVS Apache RTR 310. It continues to be an excellent segue into the big bike realm if you want to experience and get well versed with all electronic rider aids offered by these expensive big bikes. In the segment this bike operates, we cannot think of another motorcycle that packs these many features and electronic rider aids at that price point, making it a VFM choice.
      2025 Apache RTR 310 First Ride Review
      This bike is clearly not for the ‘No Replacement For Displacement’ audience out there who are just chasing spec sheets and raw performance numbers without realising the new onslaught in rider aids. For audience who wants to experience finer features and the latest and greatest in motorcycling world at an affordable price, 2025 Apache RTR 310 makes a heck of a proposition.

      New TVS Apache RTX 300 Rendered Based On Spy Shots Before Launch

      by

      New TVS Apache RTX 300 RenderTVS has been cooking a lovely dish behind closed doors. The Indian audience got a good peek at it as it was showcased briefly at the 2025 Auto Expo in Delhi NCR. However, it was taken back to the shadows after that brief showcase. Nevertheless, there are enough spy shots and snags of the Apache RTX 300 to compile renders.
      Apache RTX 300 ADV Spied
      TVS Apache RTX 300 Rendered
      Rendering artist Pratyush Rout has penned down a realistic render of the upcoming TVS Apache RTX 300 (name not confirmed) based on these spy shots and snagged images. While the final production version to officially launch might look different, these renders provide a fair idea as to what we can expect from TVS’ first ever adventure tourer.
      New TVS Apache RTX 300 Render
      Apache RTX 300 is one of the most anticipated motorcycle launches in India. It is the company’s first ADV offering as it settles into India’s adventure tourer genre. Based on spy shots and a brief appearance at the 2025 Auto Show, we have come up with renders to depict what this upcoming motorcycle could look like.
      These renders are executed in a bunch of single-tone and dual-tone colourways, with Khaki Green and Silver being my personal favourite. In the side silhouette, we can see a fairly handsome adventure tourer with a lot of attitude and promising exceptional functionality. Scooped out seat allows for a lower seat height and pillion gets a stepped seat.
      New TVS Apache RTX 300 Render
      High-set handlebar allows for an up-right riding posture and allows for decent leverage while standing and riding. Large sculpted fuel tank with Apache RTX branding gives dominating presence and the semi fairing protects rider from wind blasts on long rides. Also protecting from wind blasts is a rather tall windscreen.
      New TVS Apache RTX 300 Render
      Features & Equipment
      Where utility is concerned, TVS Apache RTX 300 render gets a sturdy rear luggage rack and a short tail tidy. Exhaust is slightly up-swept which should provide decent water-wading capability too. These renders ride on 19-inch front and 17-inch rear alloy wheels wrapped with dual-purpose tyres for on and off road capability.
      New TVS Apache RTX 300 Render
      Bike is suspended on USD telescopic front forks and a rear mono-shock unit mounted on a trellis frame. Braking duty is handled by single petal rotors at both ends with premium callipers. The company will provide dual-channel ABS, that could be switchable for some off-road fun. The suspension is adjustable on this render, which might be the case with production model too.
      New TVS Apache RTX 300 Render
      TVS is likely to offer a host of electronic rider aids along with cruise control, cornering ABS, cornering cruise control, traction control, riding modes, wheelie control and many more. The company will offer a fully digital colour instrument cluster with a host of connected features including trip telemetry, music control and navigation data.
      New RT-XD4 Engine!
      TVS Motor, one of India’s leading 2W and 3W manufacturers, sells a host of motorcycle genres including budget commuters, premium commuters, street fighters and even supersport offerings. However, the company currently lacks off-roaders and tourers in its portfolio. That’s where the upcoming Apache RTX 300 Adventure tourer comes into action.
      New TVS Apache RTX 300 Render
      This motorcycle will be powered by the company’s new RT-XD4 engine. This new powertrain developed in-house by TVS displaces 299cc and is rated to deliver 35.45 PS of peak power and 28.5 Nm of peak torque. This engine is a single-cylinder unit with a 4V/cyl head and liquid-cooling, which will be mated to a slipper clutch and a 6-speed gearbox. Even a bi-directional quick-shifter is likely to make it to production. More

      TVS Motor calls this update as the boldest version of this motorcycle and that is because it now comes with dual-channel ABS for the first time. Motorcycling fraternity were probably expecting USD front forks with this update, but TVS has retained the suspension from its predecessor, which gets RSU telescopic front forks and rear twin shockers.
      Another major update with this new version of Apache RTR 160 is a reworked powertrain that is now BS6 P2 OBD2B emission standard compliant. TVS calls it the most powerful 160cc motorcycle in India. It comes with a 159.7cc air-cooled single-cylinder engine that kicks out 16.04 PS of peak power and 13.85 Nm of peak torque, mated to a 5-speed gearbox.

      Speaking about the launch, Mr. Vimal Sumbly, Head Business – Premium, TVS Motor Company, said, “The TVS Apache RTR 160 has consistently set benchmarks in its segment, evolving with every generation while staying rooted in Apache’s racing DNA. With segment-leading features like Ride Modes, SmartXonnect with Voice Assist, and now Dual Channel ABS, it continues to redefine what riders can expect from a performance motorcycle.
      TVS Apache is more than a machine, it’s a global community of over 6 million riders. The 2025 TVS Apache RTR 160 builds on this legacy with a sharper design, advanced tech, and track-inspired engineering for a truly thrilling ride.” More

      As part of its portfolio refresh, TVS Motor has already introduced updated versions of bikes like Apache RR 310 and Apache RTR 200 4V. Based on new teasers posted by the brand, the next in line to get the updates include the Apache RTR 160 2V and Apache RTR 180. Let’s see what new features could be introduced with these bikes.
      2025 TVS Apache RTR 160 2V and Apache RTR 180 – What to expect?
      Updated TVS Apache RTR 160 2V and Apache RTR 180 will comply with the stricter OBD2B emission standards. Engine performance is expected to remain largely unchanged. TVS Apache RTR 160 2V is equipped with a 159.7 cc, air cooled, SOHC engine that generates 16.04 PS and 13.85 Nm of peak torque in Sport mode. In Rain and Urban mode, power and torque output are reduced to 13.32 PS and 12.7 Nm.
      TVS Apache RTR 180 BS6
      TVS Apache RTR 160 2V has a top speed of 107 km in Sport mode and 97 km/h in Urban / Rain mode. The bike has a 5-speed gearbox. TVS Apache RTR 180 utilizes a 177.4 cc, oil cooled engine, mated to a 5-speed gearbox. In Sport mode, the engine delivers 17.02 PS and 15.5 Nm. These numbers reduce to 14.54 PS and 14.2 Nm in Urban / Rain mode. TVS Apache RTR 180 has a max speed of 113 km/h.
      Cosmetic touch-ups are likely for updated TVS Apache RTR 160 2V and Apache RTR 180. Some new colour options could be introduced, although the primary focus may be on introducing fresh graphics for both Apache bikes. TVS has already used a similar strategy for the 2025 Apache RTR 200 4V. Visually, both the RTR 160 2V and RTR 180 are expected to have a stronger road presence.
      TVS Apache RTR 160 Race Edition
      Core hardware to be retained
      TVS Apache RTR 160 2V and Apache RTR 180 utilize a double cradle frame, with telescopic front forks and dual rear shock absorbers. 17-inch wheels at both ends are common, although the RTR 180 uses a larger rear tyre for enhanced traction. RTR 160 has option of disc-drum and disc-disc, whereas RTR 180 has disc brakes at both ends.
      Single channel Super-Moto ABS is common for both bikes. Safety package also includes Roto Petal disc brakes and Remora tyres. Both bikes have TVS SmartXonnect™ connectivity suite with Bluetooth support and voice assist. Users can access a range of functions including call and SMS alerts. Other features include crash alert, race telemetry, lean angle mode, turn-by-turn navigation and low fuel warning.

      Pricing, Launch
      It remains to be seen if prices will be increased for the updated versions. It will depend on the type of updates introduced with these bikes. If updates are limited largely to a cosmetic refresh, the bikes may continue with the earlier pricing.

      TVS Apache 450cc and Norton 450cc For India Confirmed – Based On BMW 450cc

      by

      Render By Abin DesignsWith new Norton models, TVS will target the premium motorcycle segment across both domestic and international markets including Europe
      TVS had acquired the iconic British brand Norton Motorcycles in 2020. After investing heavily in the brand’s revival, the Norton project is ready to take off in a big way. The first of the new Norton bikes are expected to be launched in India by the end of this year. Let’s check out the details.
      Norton 1,200cc bike launch confirmed for EICMA
      In an interview, TVS Motor Managing Director Sudarshan Venu, provided details about the upcoming Norton motorcycles. The first launch will be a 1,200cc, four-cylinder superbike at EICMA. Three more Norton bikes could also be launched at EICMA or soon after. Overall, a total of six Norton models are planned for launch over the next three years.
      BMW F 450 GS Spotted in India
      Four of these will be available for sale in select European markets by the summer of 2026. Target markets include the UK, France, Germany, Italy and Spain. Norton bikes in India will be targeted at users from the growing middle class and upper middle-class families. It is likely that exclusive retail outlets will be launched for sale of Norton motorcycles in India.
      A similar strategy is also expected for the upcoming 450cc Apache models. However, specific details about the new showrooms have not been provided. Venu said that they will first target the big cities and later expand to other cities. Venu also confirmed that the entire Norton range will be available in India.
      BMW F 450 GS
      All upcoming Norton motorcycles are in advanced stages of development. Initially, there are plans to manufacture around 10,000 Norton motorcycles, catering to both India and global markets. To ensure the Norton project progresses smoothly, the leadership team has been strengthened with two executive directors, Nevijo Mance and Richard Arnold. The Norton team has a good mix of engineers and designers. TVS team in India also provides the required support.
      450cc Norton / Apache bikes
      Similar to the earlier collaboration with BMW, TVS will manufacture new Apache models based on BMW’s new 450cc engine platform. New Norton 450cc bikes will also share the same platform. TVS will manufacture for all three brands at its facility in Hosur, Tamil Nadu. BMW F 450 GS is expected to be launched first by the end of this year. Norton and Apache models based on the 450cc platform will be launched subsequently.
      For its new platform, BMW has used an entirely new twin-cylinder inline engine. It generates 48 hp and is paired with a 6-speed gearbox. TVS and Norton versions will have their distinctive styling, although several of the core hardware items will be common.
      While the 450cc bikes will be manufactured in India, the more premium Norton motorcycles could see production in both India and the UK. An advantageous factor is that the free trademark agreement between India and the UK makes things a lot easier to manage. For example, components and kits can be easily shipped to the UK in sub-assembled form. Similarly, fully built vehicles can be shipped to India with minimal import duty. More

      TVS Apache RTX 300 ADV Spied – MD Sudarshan Venu Testing The Upcoming Motorcycle

      by

      Apache RTX 300 ADV SpiedTVS Motor Company is getting ready to enter the booming adventure motorcycle segment in India with its upcoming Apache RTX 300. Fresh spy shots have now emerged online, revealing the bike testing alongside its most likely rivals – Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 and KTM 390 Adventure, hinting that TVS is benchmarking its new ADV against all key contenders in the mid-capacity ADV category. It is also expected to compete with the Suzuki V-Strom SX 250 and Yezdi Adventure.
      TVS MD Spotted Testing the Bike
      Interestingly, TVS MD Sudarshan Venu himself was spotted riding the RTX 300. This suggests the bike is in its final stages of development, with a launch expected within the next two to three months. Apache RTX 300 will mark TVS’s first ever entry into the adventure segment, a category that has gained serious momentum in recent years.
      Apache RTX 300 ADV Spied
      Design-wise, the Apache RTX 300 looks like a well-built, true adventure tourer. It features a tall stance, upright riding posture, long travel suspension, knobby tyres, an upswept exhaust and what appears to be a split seat layout. The spy images reveal a semi-faired body and a muscular fuel tank. It also gets a luggage rack, sleek LED turn indicators, LED tail light, and high-mounted handlebars for relaxed touring ergonomics.
      The front forks are USD units finished in black, matched to a rear monoshock. We expect a 19-inch front and 17-inch rear wheel combo. Braking will be handled by petal discs on both ends and switchable dual-channel ABS is likely to be offered.
      Apache RTX 300 ADV Spied
      Powerful New 300cc Engine
      The TVS Apache RTX 300 will be powered by the brand’s new RT-XD4 engine, which was showcased during the 2024 MotoSoul event. This is a 299cc liquid-cooled DOHC 4-valve motor, expected to churn out around 35 bhp and 28.5 Nm. It will be paired with a 6-speed gearbox, slipper clutch, and a bi-directional quickshifter.
      Modern Tech and Connectivity
      Interestingly, it will not get a horizontal TFT instrument cluster like the Apache RTR 310 or RR 310. Instead there is a horizontal unit, likely featuring Bluetooth connectivity, navigation, call and message alerts via the TVS SmartXonnect app, and possibly music controls. These features would give it a tech edge in its class.
      TVS has already trademarked the Apache RTX name, and with multiple real-world sightings and the company MD riding the bike himself, the official launch seems imminent. Expect the Apache RTX 300 to launch in the next 2-3 months, with an expected price starting from around Rs 2.4 lakh to Rs 2.7 lakh (ex-showroom). More

      by

      TVS Apache RTS X PatentedOne of India’s leading scooter and motorcycle manufacturers, TVS Motor, is keen on extending its portfolio in the country. The company currently operates a slew of scooters and motorcycles across multiple body styles. However, a Supermoto bike is not one of those body styles, which could change in the future.
      TVS recently showcased a Supermoto Concept at 2025 Auto Expo. It is called TVS Apache RTS X and it is a raunchy Supermoto motorcycle that grabs a lot of attention. Design of the same is now patented in India. Does this indicate launch intentions? Is there a place in India for Supermoto bikes? Let’s take a closer look.
      TVS Apache RTS X Patented
      TVS Apache RTS X Design
      An OEM usually gets a design patented to protect its IP (Intellectual Property) from being replicated by someone else. Which usually means launch intentions. However, OEMs also tend to patent the designs of their concept vehicles as well. This is the case with Apache RTS X Supermoto bike.
      The patented design is of the concept and not of the production-spec version. This could mean that TVS is working on a Supermoto bike, but it has not been officially confirmed. Considering TVS’ presence in racing and fanbase around stunts and enthusiasm, one can expect a production version of Apache RTS X.

      In the concept form, TVS Apache RTS X is a raunchy Supermoto motorcycle that looks like it came straight out of a Cyberpunk world. We can see an alienistic front fascia with a short beak. Handlebars are of an upright type and lend a commanding riding position. Fuel tank is large and is complemented by muscular tank shrouds.
      The first Indian Supermoto?
      Concept has a keyless go and the ignition key is a red button situated on fuel tank, which is an interesting approach. Instrumentation is fully digital, handled by a pill-shaped screen. Rear subframe is a fancy one with integrated tail lights and an exhaust system. It houses a rear mono-shock suspension setup and a fancy swingarm too.

      Wheels might be 17-inch units at both ends, wrapped with fat tyres. Front gets USD telescopic forks which are likely to be fully adjustable for compression and rebound. Suspension will also have long travel, offering high ground clearance, which is a common trait in Supermoto genre.
      Powering the TVS Apache RTS X motorcycle is the RTXD4 engine that displaces 299cc and is a single-cylinder liquid-cooled unit with DOHC 4V head. This engine is capable of generating 35 bhp of peak power and 28.5 Nm, mated to a 6-speed gearbox. The concept seen in these design patents weighs 144 kg and can hit 60 km/h in 2.8s and 100 km/h in 6.3s. If launched, TVS Apache RTS X will be the first Indian Supermoto bike.

This model revealed at the Bharat Expo 2025 has alloy wheels. Front and rear wheels measure 19-inch and 17-inch, respectively, and are wrapped in dual-purpose tyres.
      It is expected that this road-biased version of Apache RTX 300 could be launched later this year. Reports indicate that an off-road version of Apache RTX 300 is also under development. This model will have spoke wheels, 21-inch at front and 17-inch at the rear. The off-road version will be launched a few months after the launch of the road-biased version.

      TVS Apache RTX 300 uses a steel trellis frame in combination with a separate sub-frame at the rear. While the front has USD forks, the bike gets a mono-shock unit at the rear. The colour theme seems attractive and one can also notice some sporty graphics on the side panels. The fuel tank has ‘Apache’ lettering in red, whereas the tank extension has the TVS galloping horse logo in black finish. The visuals are not as flamboyant as the KTMs, but overall profile seems refined and mature.

      There will be advanced features such as multiple riding modes, ride-by-wire throttle and traction control system. TVS is likely to offer switchable dual-channel ABS with Apache RTX 300. TVS Motor’s existing 312.12 cc engine produces 35.6 PS and 28.7 Nm. As is evident, the new engine has slightly lower numbers.

      However, as the new engine utilizes an advanced architecture, it can deliver a better overall ride experience. With its improved linear torque characteristics, the new engine can ensure smooth rides for users. It is also possible that the new engine could be lightweight in comparison to the existing 312cc unit. In that case, the new engine will have a higher power-to-weight ratio. Fuel efficiency could also be better with the new engine.
