Quick News Highlights:

• TVS Apache RTX 300 design patent filed in India

• To be based on TVS' new 300cc RT-XD4 engine platform

• It is expected to be launched by mid-to-late 2025

TVS Motor Company has filed a design patent for its upcoming first ever adventure bike, the Apache RTX 300. The bike was showcased at Bharat Mobility Expo 2025. It has also been spotted testing multiple times in India before that.

Design

The TVS Apache RTX 300 features a muscular and road-biased ADV design. It has a tall windscreen, a split dual LED headlight setup. The minimalistic and slim rear tail section and LED taillight seem to have taken inspiration from the BMW G 310 GS.

Underpinnings

The RTX 300 is built on a trellis frame, gets long-travel suspension at both ends with an inverted fork and a monoshock - likely with pre-load adjustability. From the image, it looks like the bike has a 19-inch front and a 17-inch rear alloy wheel setup with tubeless tyres.

Engine

Powering the Apache RTX 300 is the newly developed 299cc, liquid-cooled, single-cylinder RT-XD4 engine that produces 35PS and 28.5Nm. It is paired to a six-speed gearbox with a slip-and-assist clutch. This motor was revealed last year at TVS MotoSoul 2024.

Features

The TVS Apache is expected to have a TFT instrument console with smartphone connectivity, turn-by-turn navigation, call and SMS alerts. It will also feature all-LED lighting. Other electronic rider aids expected include traction control, riding modes, cruise control, and switchable rear ABS for off-road riding.

Launch And Pricing

The RTX is expected to launch by mid-to-late 2025, with an estimated price between Rs 2.50 lakh to Rs 2.75 lakh (ex-showroom). Upon launch, it will compete with other adventure motorcycles such as the KTM 250 Adventure, the BMW G 310 GS, the Suzuki V-Strom SX, and the Yezdi Adventure.

BikeDekho Says

With a strong feature set, a big bulky design, a focus on touring and adventure riding, the upcoming bike could be a promising addition to TVS' lineup. However, while the patent filing confirms the design, an official launch announcement is still awaited.
