TVS Apache RTX 300: Real-World Mileage Tested
The RTX 300’s real-world range suits its touring nature
I recently put the TVS Apache RTX 300 through a real-world mileage test to see how it performs, and the results turned out to be quite interesting. To begin with, I completely filled the fuel tank to ensure accuracy, noting the starting point carefully, before setting off on our ride.
Test Route & Cruising Speeds
My test route stretched from Pune to Satara and back, covering a total distance of 168km exactly. This route is known for its relatively smooth highway sections, and small ghat section, making it ideal for maintaining consistent speeds and extracting realistic efficiency figures. Throughout the journey, I kept the cruising speeds between 100 to 110kmph. The engine feels quite relaxed at these speeds, and the bike maintained its composure without feeling strained.
The Real-World Mileage
Traffic conditions were fairly manageable, allowing me to ride in a steady manner without too many interruptions. There were occasional slow-moving vehicles and minor speed variations, but overall, the ride reflected a practical, real-world touring scenario rather than a controlled test environment.
Once I reached the destination and completed the run, I headed straight to the fuel station to fill the tank again. This time, the bike took 5.55 litres of fuel to fill up completely. Based on the distance covered and the amount of fuel consumed, the final calculated fuel efficiency came out to be 30.41kmpl. With this figure the Apache RTX 300 will be able to go more than 300km in a single tank (12.5-litre fuel tank capacity).
BikeDekho Says
For a 300cc single-cylinder motorcycle, this mileage is respectable. The TVS Apache RTX 300 manages to strike a decent balance between performance and efficiency, especially considering the speeds at which it was ridden. However, I do feel that there was a bit more room for improvement, particularly given the favorable riding conditions and smooth highway stretch.
That said, in real-world usage where riding conditions can vary significantly, a mileage figure of just over 30kmpl is still quite practical. It makes the bike an apt option not just for spirited rides, but also for longer highway tours without frequent fuel stops.

TVS Apache RTX 300 User Reviews
- One of the best above 300 cc bike you can have.For my inter state rides as I currently live in Ranchi but my home city is Chaibasa so I have to travel between these city a lot and this bike feels best when I ride for a longer distance. The major reason was the height of the bike, as I am 6.1 ft 24M, it is the best height bike for me. As I can feel that this bike is not for daily commuters as it is quite big for the Indian roads but the whole seen changes when you ride it on highways. I feel confident while riding this, one of my cousin have RE Himalayan and when compared to it, this bike feel more agile and is more practical. I would recommend this bike to only those who wants to have a best all rounder bike as it has best in the market technical specs, (even I have not fully explored all the modes of the bike thus far), it feels confident to ride on in many situations. And to top it all off, it has best engine as both BMW and TVS came together in this.Read More3 5
- super adventure bike in this price and look are very very attractiveI used BMW 310 gs before buy this bike but it beats the BMW 310 gs because of its features are fantastic. Relay involve this features, firstly, Its display and quick shifter. Most important is city ride, very comfortable no heating issues in city ride. The riding modes are fantastic. So this was the first time I rode a bike which had riding modes. Before this I thought features but work fantastically. The suspension is alright for the roads but it's not as comfortable as I thought. It's little stiff for an adventure bike. I didn't take it on proper off road but got the idea on city bumps. Bike is so manageable even for short riders. I'm just 5'8 and I was sceptical about whether to ride it or not and I was so surprised how well balanced this bike is. I can't even flat foot on my CB350RS and this one's has even taller seat yet I could manage it like any other bike. Weight distribution is good. Engine heating, It's freezing cold here in Delhi and yet I found it heating even riding on lower rpms.Read More4 1

- Apache RTX, a powerful and affordable machineAffordable pricing for an adventure bike. After reading your reviews I was interested in this bike so this was a great choice for me. Since Himalayan 450 price was increased after the recent tax hike, this was the perfect price point for me to get my first ADV Bike. Great Handling, easily manageable in rush hour traffic, great seating height as I am on the taller side. I have gone on multiple above 50 km rides on this bike and faced no issues so far. The riding modes are a big plus point in this bike. Yes I would definitely recommend this bike. Even if you are a experienced rider or a nice looking to get into the world of bike riding, the apache rtx 300 is a wonderful piece of machinery that has something for people of all experience levels.Read More6 8
