TVS Apache RTR 310 set for launch with expected performance and feature upgrades

TVS Motor Company is all set to unveil the updated version of its flagship street naked motorcycle, the Apache RTR 310, on July 16, today. This marks the first significant update for the model since its debut in 2023.

What to Expect from the Updated Apache RTR 310

The new iteration is likely to offer enhancements in both performance and features. Currently, the Apache RTR 310 is powered by a 312cc engine developed in collaboration with BMW Motorrad. This engine is also used in the BMW G 310 RR and TVS Apache RR 310, but in different states of tune.

In 2023, TVS made several performance improvements to the RR 310, including a higher compression ratio, a larger airbox and throttle body, and a lighter piston. These changes pushed the RR 310’s output to 38hp and 29Nm. The RTR 310 currently delivers 35.6hp and 28.7Nm, but the upcoming update could bring these RR 310 enhancements to the streetfighter version as well.

Additionally, features like the transparent clutch cover and aerodynamic winglets, introduced as standard on the RR 310, may make their way to the RTR 310.

Price and Variants

The current pricing of the Apache RTR 310 starts at Rs 2.50 lakh (ex-showroom) for the base variant without a quickshifter. The mid variant with a quickshifter is priced at Rs 2.67 lakh, while the top-end yellow-coloured variant costs Rs 2.72 lakh. With the update, prices are expected to rise slightly.

TVS is likely to continue offering a range of optional extras with the Apache RTR 310, such as fully adjustable suspension, a brass-coated chain, Sepang Blue colour scheme, and heated/cooled seats.

The official launch on July 16 will reveal all changes in detail, but the refreshed Apache RTR 310 is expected to further strengthen TVS’s position in the premium motorcycle segment.
