Multiple spy shots and teasers from the manufacturer have given us a sneak peek into what this streetfighter might bring to the table. The first and second rounds of spy images unveiled a unique tail light design, resembling two vertical strips. TVS also equip the bike with a USD fork, a mono-shock suspension (which many believe to be adjustable), and disc brakes at both ends.
Apache RTR 310
And the expectation? Dual-channel ABS as standard. Other details that caught our attention include a floating license plate holder, rear indicators, and the distinct exhaust found in its sibling, the Apache RR 310, as well as the BMW G 310 R and G 310 GS.
Spy Shots
Subsequent spy shots have thrown light on its design ethos. We’re talking about a split-seat setup, rear-set footpegs, and a riding stance that screams aggression. A teaser from TVS confirmed our thoughts: the Apache RTR 310 isn’t merely a rebadged BMW G 310 R. It’s a fresh design brainchild from the TVS team in Hosur. Not to forget the sharp-looking adjustable tank extensions and levers that the bike boasts.
But what about the heart of the machine? Powering the Apache RTR 310 is a 312.7cc, reverse-inclined, single-cylinder engine. While this is the same engine that drives the Apache RR 310, TVS has tweaked its tuning setup for the RTR 310.
Rs 2.5 lakh (ex-showroom)
For those itching to get their hands on this machine, TVS has opened up pre-bookings for a token amount of Rs 3,100. We expect the bike to sport a price tag of around Rs 2.5 lakh (ex-showroom). The Apache RTR 310 is set to go head-to-head with formidable competitors like the KTM 390 Duke, Triumph Speed 400, BMW G 310 R, Keeway K300N, and the Honda CB300R.
