Launch Date For The TVS Apache RTR 310 Has Been Confirmed!

The upcoming street fighter has been spotted once again recently, revealing some new details

TVS is gearing up for an eventful August and September, with notable plans in the pipeline. Besides the imminent launch of a new scooter on August 23, the company has announced  another launch scheduled for September 6. The teaser offers intriguing clues, with coordinates directing to Bangkok's Democracy Monument in Thailand.

The hashtag "RestlessToPlay" suggests that the eagerly anticipated TVS Apache RTR 310 is the one that’ll be launched on September 6. It has been spotted again recently which provided us with fresh new details of the bike. Much like the Apache RR 310, it features adaptable levers and directional buttons integrated into the left switchgear. The sleek alloy wheel design is different from the ones on the RR 310. The streetfighter showcases an aggressive looking, yet sleek headlight unit, reminiscent of the Kawasaki Z1000's headlight design. Interestingly, the radiator seems to have ducts to channel the heat away from the rider’s legs. 

Other noteworthy features include a split-seat arrangement accompanied by split grab rails, rear-set footpegs, and a sporty riding posture.

What we have known so far from a month-old sighting is that it will be built on the same 310cc platform, a joint venture between TVS and BMW but the new streetfighter stands distinct with its sharp and aggressive street naked design. A beefy fuel tank, adorned with extensions alongside a strikingly eccentric LED taillight are some of the highlights.

The bike, seen in another set of spy shots a few weeks after the first one, has allowed us to gain further insights into its design attributes. The Apache RTR 310 will get a floating license plate holder, rear indicators, and inherits the chunky exhaust system from its predecessors - the Apache RR 310, BMW G 310 R, and BMW G 310 GS. The horizontally-aligned digital console (likely to be a TFT unit with connectivity) is a departure from the vertical one on its supersport counterpart.

Underpinnings-wise, it gets an USD fork (unlikely to be adjustable) and a preload-adjustable monoshock setup. This setup complements the twin disc brakes equipped with dual-channel ABS. Powering the Apache RTR 310 will be the 312.7cc reverse-inclined single-cylinder engine, churning out 34PS of power and 27.3Nm of torque found in the Apache RR 310, BMW G 310 R, and BMW G 310 GS.

The upcoming TVS Apache RTR 310 will be launched with an approximate price tag of Rs 2.5 lakh (ex-showroom) on September 6. Its rivals will be the KTM 390 Duke, Triumph Speed 400, BMW G 310 R, and Honda CB300R.
