CFMoto 250SR vs TVS Apache RR 310: Image Comparison
Is China’s entry-level sport bike better than our homemade flagship TVS Apache?
Is China’s entry-level sport bike better than our homemade flagship TVS Apache?
The CFMoto 250SR was recently spotted at a dealership in China, wrapped in a new drool-worthy race livery. We couldn’t help but wonder how the 250SR would fare in our country if it ever arrived here. If it did, it would certainly land in the crosshairs of our homemade entry-level sport bike, the TVS Apache RR 310. Curious to know which one would come out on top? Let’s compare the two via a series of images:

From the front, the 250SR certainly looks meaner thanks to its edgy LED headlamp. The RR 310 doesn’t really stand out from the front profile, but it looks likeable nevertheless.
From the sides, the RR 310 comes into its own with better attention to detail, thanks to sharper fairings and tail end. The 250SR is no slouch either. It looks nothing short of impressive, courtesy its sleek lines and new race livery.
At the rear, the Apache RR 310 gets a wide single unit while the 250SR gets a vertically stacked unit with spoilers at both sides, similar to the Yamaha R125 V3. We’d pick the Apache between the two.
Complementing their good looks, both bikes get fully-digital colour instrument clusters with smartphone connectivity. While the CFMoto’s unit is bigger, it can’t keep up with the flagship Apache’s wide functionality -- lap timer, live fuel efficiency, and riding modes.
LED lighting runs standard on both bikes.
Another aspect where the Apache RR 310 truly shines over the 250SR is performance. You see, the RR 310 is powered by a 312cc single-cylinder motor making 34PS and 27.3Nm, 6PS and 5Nm more than what the 249cc unit on the 250SR puts out. Both bikes employ six-speed gearboxes.
Both bikes get an inverted gold-cased USD fork and a monoshock.
They roll on 17-inch wheels, anchored by single disc brakes at both ends.
Even with this special livery, the 250SR sees no price revision in China. It costs Rs 2.5 lakh (converted from Yuan), similar to the price of the RR 310 in India.
In conclusion, if these two were to retail at the same price in India, without a doubt, the TVS Apache RR 310 would be a better value offering. CFMoto knows this, hence, it is planning to bring the bigger 300SR to India instead, which would have a better fighting chance in our market. Find more about its India arrival here.

- Super Bike in 310 segmentTVS Apache RR 310 is a fantastic bike for city and highway both. I have used it for 2 years and the performance is superb. The riding posture is sporty but not too aggressive for daily use. Mileage is around 28-30 kmpl in city and 35 on highway which is good for a 310cc. TVS service cost is reasonable compared to KTM or BMW. Parts are easily available in Pune. Features like glide through technology, ride modes and digital console are very useful. Only issue is pillion seat is not comfortable for long rides. Overall build quality and handling is excellent. Highly recommended for beginners who want a sports bike feel. Best bike in this segment under 3 lakhs.Read More2 1

- The Roar of the Apache Rr310The bike is very good for beginning. I started my riding journey from this bike. This beast give the ideal knowledge and power of big bikes and can achieve a good skill of driving. I ride the bike like 1200km in one stretch without any compliant. I love the machine and the electronics provided by the company. This bike easily achieve 150kmps without any worth and doesn’t wobble and the corners are very smooth while cornering and for a while it’s just a starch. It will pull you up and handling is favourable and the engine is too much refined in the segment, it offers with BMW engine and I have installed a air filter for better performance (k&n).Read More1
