BREAKING: TVS RT-XD4 300 Engine Unveiled at Motosoul 2024

We expect to see the new RT-XD4 299.1cc engine in the upcoming TVS bikes very soon!

Quick News Highlights

• The new 299cc engine makes the best-in-segment 35PS & 28.5Nm
• The engine platform is mated to a six-speed gearbox with a slip-and-assist clutch
• We expect to see this new engine in future TVS bikes

TVS Motor Company has just unveiled the RT-XD4 300, a new 299cc engine platform, at the TVS Motosoul 2024 in Goa.

Here are the details of the new TVS RT-XD4 300 engine

The new TVS RT-XD4 300 is a 299.1cc, 4-valve liquid-cooled, single-cylinder engine that produces 35PS at 9,000rpm and 28.5Nm at 7,000rpm. For perspective, the TVS flagship Apache RR 310 delivers a peak output of 38PS at 9,800rpm and 29Nm at 7,900rpm. It is paired with a six-speed gearbox with a slip-and-assist clutch. The RT-XD4 300 platform will also feature a ride-by-wire throttle and Plasma spray-coating on the outside.

The TVS RT-XD4 300 engine also gets:

• Double-jacketed water and oil cooling system, which is claimed to provide better and more efficient cooling of the engine
• Dual Over Head Camshafts (DOHC) that allows the engine to rev higher and provide better performance
• Dual oil pump with split chamber crankcase for better lubrication inside the engine
• Dual breather system which prevents engine oil from getting dirty and prolongs its life, for an impressive performance over a long periods

The performance figures of this new engine are most likely to be similar to that of the current 310cc motor but the new motor has a flat torque delivery. There have been rumours about TVS working on its first adventure bike for sometime and this engine could be perfect for that bike to perform well off-road. The current 310cc engine powering the RR 310 works really well for that bike, so it is unlikely that TVS will replace that platform with the RT-XD4. The new motor could be good for a road bike also and we might get to see a naked bike based on this platform in the future as well.
