TVS Apache RTR 310 2025: TVS Motor Company has introduced the Apache RTR 310, its flagship street-naked motorcycle, in India. With a competitive starting price of ₹2.40 lakh (ex-showroom), this updated model offers a thrilling riding experience by combining aggressive styling, segment-leading features, and a refined powertrain. The RTR 310 stands out in the crowded sub-500cc market because it is made for enthusiasts who are driven by performance and technology.
Design and Styling: Bold and Futuristic
The 2025 Apache RTR 310’s design philosophy is still harp, cyberpunk, but it has undergone some minor but significant changes. In order to give the naked sibling a more upscale, mechanical appearance, the faired sibling, the RR 310, has now lent the naked sibling its transparent clutch cover. Aggressive styling, such as new tank shrouds, a front cowl look, and a lot of macho appeal, were all part of its initial design. Its streetfighter persona is enhanced by new knuckle guards and sequential indicators. The RTR 310 attracts attention as it passes thanks to its muscular fuel tank, exposed trellis frame, and edgy LED headlamps with a “cyborg” design.
2025 TVS Apache RTR 310: Performance and Engine
The 312.2cc liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine that powers the RTR 310 produces 35.6 bhp at 9,700 rpm and 76 Nm at 6,650 rpm. In order to improve city manageability, TVS remapped the throttle response for 2025, resulting in smoother acceleration, particularly in the lowest gears. To increase the bike’s efficiency when cruising on the highway, the engine has been fitted with a smaller rear sprocket, which was taken from the RR 310.
Technology and Features: Segment-First Innovations
The RTR 310 is packed with advanced electronics, many of which are rare in this price bracket:
- Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) – Monitors real-time tyre pressure.
- 5-inch TFT Display – Offers multiple ride modes (Urban, Rain, Sport, Track, Supermoto) and Bluetooth connectivity for call/SMS alerts, navigation, and GoPro control.
- Cornering ABS & Traction Control – Enhances safety while leaning into turns.
- Keyless Ignition (BTO Dynamic Pro Kit) – Adds convenience with key fob-based operation.
- Launch Control (BTO Dynamic Pro Kit) – Holds revs at 7,250 rpm for optimal acceleration.
Ride and Handling: Agile and Confidence-Inspiring
The RTR 310’s hybrid trellis frame and KYB suspension (41mm USD forks + preload adjustable monoshock) make sharp handling simple. Excellent grip is guaranteed when cornering or riding in wet conditions thanks to Michelin Road 5 tires. The bike is manageable for riders of all sizes thanks to its 800mm seat height and 169 kg kerb weight. The rearset pegs provide a slightly sporty riding position without being overly tight.
