TVS Apache RTR 310: Clearest Pics Yet Teased Ahead Of Launch

These images confirm that the streetfighter will get adjustable levers, grippy Michelin tyres, new rear-view mirror design, and more

The imminent launch of the TVS Apache RTR 310 is scheduled for September 6. Prior to this, TVS has shared a few images featuring their Managing Director, Sudarshan Venu, test-riding the bike. These teaser images present the most distinct and clear visuals of the motorcycle thus far.

As we revealed here, the TVS Apache RTR 310 is not merely a rebadged version of the G 310 R, but an entirely new design from TVS. The design showcases a sporty and aggressive riding posture, evident from the positioning of the single-piece handlebar and the moderately rear-set footpegs. Although partially concealed, the tank extensions look sharp, and the alloy wheel design (distinct from the Apache RR 310) is notably appealing. The sump guards also have a sharp design language. Adjustable levers add to the versatility, catering to riders of varying heights. Sporting a dual horn setup, the streetfighter also features Michelin Road 5 tyres, similar to those on the RR 310, based on the tread pattern. The LED indicators bear a resemblance to those on the TVS Ronin, while the rear-view mirror is a completely new design. The mirrors look sporty and we hope the look has a functional element to it also.

Also, these images reveal that the streetfighter shares the same exhaust system as the Apache RR 310, BMW G 310 R, and BMW G 310 GS, a detail previously captured in earlier spy shots.

In the most recent teaser released by TVS, it is evident that the side profile, slanted headlight design, and the overall compact yet aggressive demeanor of the bike draw substantial inspiration from the Ducati Streetfighter V4. The bike boasts a horizontal twin-LED headlight configuration, accompanied by tail lights fashioned in the form of two vertical strips. Initial spy shots of the RTR 310 showed us its upside-down (USD) fork and monoshock suspension setup, complemented by disc brakes at both ends. They are likely to get dual-channel ABS as standard.

Powering the TVS Apache RTR 310 will be a 312.7cc, reverse-inclined, single-cylinder engine, which is also used in the Apache RR 310. However, the engine is anticipated to be subject to distinct tuning specifications. Pre-booking window for the bike is now open and it can be booked with a token amount of Rs 3,100. It is expected to get an ex-showroom price of around Rs 2.5 lakh. Its rivals will include the KTM 390 Duke, Triumph Speed 400, BMW G 310 R, Keeway K300N, and the Honda CB300R.
