TVS Apache RR310 BTO Road Test Review: Photo Gallery

Here's the full review of the all-new TVS Apache RR310 BTO via images

Since its launch in December 2017, TVS has given the Apache RR310 a slew of updates. Earlier this year, the company had shared a teaser image of the supersport motorcycle. The bike finally arrived with a few cosmetic upgrades (read BTO Kit) in September, thanks to COVID-19. Finally, we have tested the new Apache RR310 BTO, and in this pictorial review, we tell you whether or not these updates make any difference to the performance and rideability of the motorcycle.

The TVS Apache RR310 BTO gets Race Replica Graphics inspired by the TVS race machines, enhancing the sharp and sporty look of the motorcycle.

The fascia of the Apache RR310 BTO looks as aggressive as earlier, thanks to its twin projector Bi-LED headlamps. Meanwhile, the lean tail section gets snake fang-inspired LED taillights.

You can also customise the flagship motorcycle to your taste by choosing from pre-set kits (Dynamic and Race), graphics, rim colours, and personalised race numbers.

The race kit indeed adds to the sportier riding stance. The raised position of the footpegs help the rider carry some major lean angles while cornering on the track. Meanwhile, the adjustable clip-ons bring controls closer to the rider but also affects the agility of the motorcycle as the rider then needs to put in some more effort to change directions.

On the other hand, the Dynamic kit offers fully adjustable KYB inverted forks, preload and rebound-adjustable KYB monoshock, and a brass-coated drive chain.

This adjustable suspension helps you find a suitable ride and handling balance. The front fork can be adjusted using a flat-head screwdriver and a 14mm wrench, while the monoshock requires the same screwdriver and a special toothed wrench.

There's a slight change to the exhaust, making it sound raspier than before, and it also gets an improved lean angle.

Other notable features on the bike include ride-by-wire, glide-through technology, multiple riding modes (Track, Sport, Urban, and Rain), slipper clutch, and a 5-inch TFT Bluetooth-enabled instrument cluster that can be paired with your smartphone via the SmartXonnect app. It not only displays turn-by-turn navigation and call alerts but can also store documents, including your license, RC cards, and the likes. Meanwhile, the app shows post-ride analysis, gear shifting points, G-force, lap time, and race telemetry.

The TVS Apache RR310 BTO draws power from a 312.2cc liquid-cooled reverse-inclined engine that produces 34PS and 27.3Nm in Sport and Track mode. It delivers 25.8PS and 25Nm in Urban and Rain mode. As there's no mechanical change to the engine, transmission, or design, we got identical acceleration and roll-on acceleration time figures to the 2020 model. The motorcycle's performance is sprightly, but there's still some scope for improvement on the refinement front.

For braking it employs a 300-240mm petal disc setup that has remained unchanged, as a result we have received similar braking results. The last time when we had tested the bike, we had found the stopping power and brake bite to have improved, thanks to Micheline Road 5 tyres and dual-channel ABS. However, the feel through the brake lever can still be bettered.

With the BTO kit, the TVS Apache RR310 costs Rs 2.81 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi). At this price point, if you want a motorcycle that is stylish, offers a raft of features and customisation options, and has a powerful engine, the TVS Apache RR310 BTO certainly makes a lot of sense.
