    TVS Apache RTX 300 Spotted At 2025 Auto Expo – Himalayan, Xpulse Rival

    TVS Apache RTX 300TVS has added more options to its 300cc portfolio with the new Apache RTX 300 ADV bike. In this space, the brand already offers RTR 310 and RR 310. Upon launch, TVS Apache RTX 300 will challenge rivals like KTM 250 Adventure.
    TVS Apache RTX 300 Spotted – Key features
    Revealed at the Bharat Mobility Global Expo 2025, TVS Apache RTX 300 has dual headlamp design, an ADV front beak and a large windscreen. At the front, one can also notice the USD forks in golden finish. Other key features include knuckle guards, sculpted fuel tank, sleek tank extensions, split seats and a chunky upswept exhaust.
    The bike has robust grab rails and mounting racks for a top box and side panniers. For touring needs, TVS is likely to offer a comprehensive range of accessories with Apache RTX 300. 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.
    TVS Apache RTX 300 – New engine, improved performance
    Powering TVS Apache RTX 300 will be a new RT-XD4 engine. TVS unveiled this new engine last year in December. It is a 299cc unit, with bore and stroke of 78 mm and 62.6 mm. Power output is 35.45 PS and 28.5 Nm. The engine is paired with a 6-speed gearbox, integrated with a slipper clutch.
    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.

    TVS Jupiter CNG Showcased
    While Bajaj has made significant strides in CNG tech on 2W with Freedom 125, TVS is also jumping on the bandwagon, but with a scooter. Yes! TVS has just debuted a CNG scooter based on Jupiter 125 with a small CNG tank placed under the seat. This has eaten into Jupiter’s boot space, but this is only a tech demonstration and is not final production form.

    At the outgoing 2025 Auto Expo, TVS Jupiter CNG grabbed a lot of eyeballs. On the outside, there is not a single cue to show this is a CNG vehicle. Only once you lift the seat, one can see a plastic cover that is placed on top of a CNG tank. This is where ICE Jupiter 125’s underseat storage used to be.
    TVS Jupiter CNG
    TVS Jupiter CNG is still in concept phase and feels rough around the edges. However, it is a demonstration of possibilities and final production version will feel much more refined in terms of packaging. Bajaj Freedom 125 had a switch to change fuels, from CNG to Petrol and vice-versa. Which might be present in production-spec TVS Jupiter CNG.

    When the seat is up, we can see a pressure gauge beside the hump and this is where CNG pressure is indicated. Right beside it, we can see a filler nozzle too. We hope the production model gets an external filler nozzle. Launch timeline is not revealed yet.
    TVS Jupiter CNG Specs
    Specs and Range
    Speaking about specs and numbers, TVS Jupiter CNG packs a circular tank with 1.4 kg CNG capacity. Because the CNG tank, petrol tank has been reduced to just 2 litres in capacity. Jupiter 125’s engine is modified to run on both Petrol and CNG. When run on CNG, TVS claims a fuel efficiency figure of 84 km/kg.

    Combined with the 2 litre petrol, TVS promises around 226 km range on one filling (1.4 kg CNG + 2 litre Petrol). Production-spec TVS Jupiter CNG might feature more refinements to this system and there might be an increase to total range. The same 124.8cc engine does duty on Jupiter CNG with 7.1 bhp and 9.4 Nm, when run on CNG. Top speed is 80 km/h. More

    Modified TVS Apache Vortex 310 By Smoked Garage Looks Dope

    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.

    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.
