TVS has revealed the dates of its annual motorcycling festival, the MotoSoul, in Goa. The MotoSoul 2025 is set to take place between December 5 and 6, 2025. TVS has also mentioned in its announcement that the event will include “exclusive product launches”. This hints that the brand’s first ever production adventure bike, the TVS RTX300 will be launched at the festival. It was already spotted on test runs, and showcased at Bharat Mobility Auto Expo 2025.
Design
The TVS Apache RTX 300’s design leans more towards being a long distance, touring focused adventure bike rather than an off-read ready one. Styling elements also include a tall windscreen, knuckle guards, split headlamp setup, muscular body panels, and a slim tail section. As we’d seen in the patent drawings, the TVS adventure bike looks properly modern, and has the Apache genes thanks to the sharp design lines.
Engine
The Apache RTX 300 will get TVS’ new ‘RT-XD4’, 299cc, liquid-cooled, single-cylinder engine making 35PS and 28.5Nm. It’ll come with a 6-speed gearbox and slipper clutch, we can expect a bidirectional quickshifter as well (at least as an option). Interestingly, this engine debuted at the 2024 MotoSoul, and is TVS’ first, very-own liquid-cooled engine as opposed to the 310cc heart that was made in collaboration with BMW Motorrad.
Underpinnings
This bike will have a steel trellis frame, inverted fork and monoshock – likely with full adjustability as an option. It has 19-inch front and 17-inch rear alloys, wrapped in dual-purpose tubeless tyres. Braking hardware which will mostly be shared with the TVS Apache RR 310, and have switchable dual-channel ABS.
Features
Given the Hosur-based bikemaker’s track record, the RTX 300 will be filled to the brim when it comes to features. It’ll mostly use the TVS Apache RTR 310’s 5-inch TFT console that has Bluetooth connectivity, turn-by-turn navigation, and phone alerts. Features like switchable traction control, multiple riding modes, cruise control, and more are also expected.
Expected Price & Rivals
The TVS RTX 300 is expected to be priced around Rs 2.5 lakh (ex-showroom), factoring in the new GST 2.0 rate cuts, which has made all TVS bikes cheaper. It will compete against other 250-300cc adv bikes like the KTM 250 Adventure, Suzuki V-Strom SX 250, and 2025 Yezdi Adventure.
BikeDekho Says
Considering TVS’ first attempt at making an adventure bike, we think the 300cc segment makes sense, especially now with the new GST norms encouraging manufacturers to make affordable sub-350cc bikes. If TVS gets the pricing right, it will offer a great balance of value for money, everyday usability with reasonable levels of performance.
TVS Apache RTX 300 User Reviews
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 More
I 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 More
The looks are awesome also the features provided in this price is very greatful to have. And it is the most comfortable bike in this budget. The bike always gets people noticing and excited about the price. The ride is really nice and comforting. A rider can easily ride this bike a minimum of 100km or more without getting tired. The handling is great and the mileage is also great as per the torque you are getting. All over the bike is impressive. This bike is totally recommended. My friend is 5.6 he still rides my bike without any extra efforts. And I am 6.1 still I look good on the bike. The bike looks is aggressive and also it looks good on both the genders.Read More
Affordable 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.

I was looking for a bike which just fits right in my pocket and offers great features. And then just got the news of this Adventure bike from TVS. TVS has been one my favourite brands considerably because it is made in India. The second reason is its look. wow. Who can offer such ergonomics at this price. It is incredible. Every ride feels exciting and adventurous even though I might be riding on the same route. It is comfortable for both the rider and pillion. I am just 5.8 feet and I am able to land my foot at ease. Absolutely, 10 on 10. A bike thats offer best Value for Money. Be it is riding modes, braking, suspension and those grippy tyres, these are absolutely loved by each of my friends. And who can ignore the power delivery ones it hit at that RPM.Read More
