Introduction: The Rise of a New Street Monster
TVS Apache RTR 310
TVS has officially launched the Apache RTR 310—and it’s already shaking up the Indian two-wheeler market. Positioned as a bold, tech-rich streetfighter in the 300cc category, the Apache RTR 310 takes direct aim at established players like the KTM Duke 250, BMW G310R, and Yamaha R15M.
With aggressive styling, cutting-edge features, and a competitive price tag, the RTR 310 marks TVS’s most ambitious offering in this segment to date.
Engine & Performance: RR Heart, RTR Soul
At the heart of the Apache RTR 310 is the same 312.12cc, liquid-cooled, single-cylinder engine that powers the Apache RR 310. But this version is tuned to suit streetfighter needs—with a stronger mid-range and quicker throttle response.
