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

    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

    TVS Ronin Festive Edition Launched – Hunter 350 Rival Gets New Colour

    TVS Ronin Festive EditionThe primary rival to TVS Ronin is Royal Enfield Hunter 350 with similar performance metrics that starts from Rs 1.5 lakh (Ex-sh)
    Ahead of the festive season, TVS Motor has been offering excitement to Indian motorcycling enthusiasts. The company recently reduced the prices of Raider 125 with a new drum brake variant. Soon after, we also saw the price of Ronin reduced as well. Now, the company is offering a new colour scheme with Ronin. Let’s take a look.
    TVS Ronin Festive Edition Launched
    One of India’s leading 2W and 3W manufacturing brand, TVS Motor has been creating a few headlines in the recent past. Ahead of the festive season, TVS has been actively pushing a few motorcycles in its portfolio like Raider 125 and Ronin.
    TVS Ronin Price Cut
    Offering a mix of multiple motorcycling genres, TVS Ronin aims to be a versatile companion with a decent blend of style, performance and affordability. TVS recently slashed the prices of base Ronin SS by up to Rs 15,000. Ronin now starts from Rs 1.35 lakh (Ex-sh), which is an attractive proposition.
    After taking care of the base Ronin SS variant, TVS has turned its gaze towards the top variant, Ronin TD. Adding to the excitement around Ronin, TVS is offering a top-spec TD variant with a new Midnight Blue colour scheme with fluorescent green colour graphics. Called TVS Ronin Festive Edition, it adds a dash of personality to the already attractive motorcycle.
    TVS Ronin 225 Price
    The flyscreen lends a sense of muscle, which looks nice. There are no other changes seen on this motorcycle. Powertrain remains the same too. This 225.9cc SOHC 4V oil-cooled single-cylinder engine is capable of generating 20.4 PS of peak power and 19.93 Nm of peak torque, mated to a 5-speed gearbox.
    Features and componentry on TVS Ronin include disc brakes on either ends with optional dual-channel ABS, 17-inch alloy wheels and tubeless tyres as standard, USD telescopic front forks and rear mono-shock, LED lighting all around with a unique T-shaped DRL, fully digital instrument cluster with connectivity and more.

    TVS Ronin 225 Price Reduced By Rs 15k – New Price Rs 1.35 Lakh

    TVS Ronin 225 PriceWith a neo-retro Roadster design language, TVS Ronin strikes a unique approach to motorcycling backed by premium componentry and features
    India’s leading 2W and 3W vehicle manufacturing brand, TVS Motor, is ushering into the festive season by offering revised prices on select products. Yesterday, we covered the price revision of TVS Raider 125 by up to Rs 13,000 in savings. Today, let’s take a look at the price revision of TVS Ronin ahead of the festive season.
    TVS Ronin Price Cut
    Interestingly, similar terms and conditions are not seen on TVS Ronin’s price revision. The company seems to have slashed the prices of Ronin and the base Ronin SS variant now starts from Rs 1.35 lakh (Ex-sh). When opposed to pre-revision prices, Ronin SS is now more affordable by up to Rs 15,000 (Ex-sh). Hat tip to automotive enthusiast Yashraj for sharing this update.
    TVS Ronin Price Cut
    However, not all the variants get the same price revision. In fact, none of the other variants seems to get any price revisions at all. Variants like the Ronin DS, Ronin TD and Ronin TD Special Edition still cost more or less the same as they did before.
    The price difference between base Ronin SS and Ronin DS (one above base) used to be Rs 7,500. With the price revision from TVS Motor, the price difference between Ronin SS and Ronin DS is Rs 21,700, which is very interesting.
    MS Dhoni taking delivery of his new motorcycle – TVS Ronin
    We say interesting because the Rs 21,700 (Ex-sh) upgrade over Ronin SS to Ronin DS still doesn’t get dual-channel ABS. For that, one has to choose Ronin TD. An upgrade that costs around Rs 34K over base Ronin SS. With the new pricing, TVS can now better position Ronin against Royal Enfield Hunter 350, undercutting it by Rs 15K.
    Any other changes?
    Apart from the pricing for the base variant, there are no changes on TVS Ronin. The motorcycle continues to be equipped with USD telescopic front forks in gold shade, 7-step preload adjustable rear mono-shock, 17-inch alloy wheels with tubeless tyres, a 2,040 mm wheelbase, LED headlight with T-shaped LED DRL and a fully-digital instrument cluster with smartphone connectivity among others.
    TVS Ronin is powered by a 225.9cc SOHC 4V oil-cooled single-cylinder engine that generates 20.4 PS of peak power and 19.93 Nm of peak torque, mated to a 5-speed gearbox. Except for a few attributes like dual-channel ABS, TVS Ronin SS base variant gets most of the features as standard, making it a better value proposition than RE Hunter 350 at Rs 1.35 lakh (Ex-sh).
