TVS’ next major launch will most likely be an adventure motorcycle in the 300cc segment. The upcoming model, the TVS ADV, will most probably be powered by the newly revealed 300cc liquid-cooled engine, the RT-XD4.

Naming

TVS Motor had filed a trademark application for the name ‘Apache RTX’ all the way back in June 2023. And now recently at MotoSoul 2024, TVS also revealed a brand new 300cc engine, called the RT-XD4. So we believe the upcoming TVS ADV will be named the Apache RTX 300.

Engine Details

TVS’ new 300cc engine marks the start of an entirely in-house developed engine platform. The Apache RTX, which will be the first model to get this new engine, and is expected to launch in mid-2025 as TVS's first adventure bike.

With 35PS and 28.5Nm, the engine promises better performance. It features liquid cooling, fuel injection, a downdraft intake, ride-by-wire, a DOHC head, and dual cooling jackets for sustained high performance. A flat torque curve is the engine's main appeal. It is expected to feature a 6-speed gearbox and a slipper clutch as standard.

Other Details

The bike will most likely have a long-travel suspension setup, a relaxed riding geometry, a robust chassis for both on- and off-road use, and provisions for luggage. The bike is expected to be priced higher than the current Apache models, the RR310 and RTR 310.

Rivals

The Apache RTX adventure motorcycle is set to compete with rivals like the KTM Adventure 390, the BMW G310 GS, the Royal Enfield Himalayan 450, the Yezdi Adventure and the Suzuki V-Strom 250 SX.
