TVS Apache RTX Adventure Bike Spotted Testing
The company MD was seen riding TVS’ first adventure bike
[UPDATE: The TVS Apache RTX300 has finally been launched. It's the brand's first adventure bike, and here's everything you need to know about it.]
Quick News Highlights
-
The Apache RTX 300 is TVS’ first production adventure bike
-
Will be powered by an all-new 300cc RT-XD4 liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine
-
Could be launched in mid-2025
We recently came across new spy shots of the upcoming TVS Apache RTX 300 adventure bike being tested. The company’s Managing Director Sudarshan Venu was seen riding the test mule, and you can also clearly see the brand new RT-XD4 engine in the spy shots.
The TVS Apache RTX 300 will be powered by a new 300cc, liquid-cooled, single-cylinder engine which will produce 35PS at 9,000rpm and 28.5Nm at 7,000rpm. The engine is set to replace the 312cc, liquid-cooled, single-cylinder unit that we have already seen on the TVS Apache RR 310 and Apache RTR 310.
Compared to the 312cc heart,, the new RTX 300’s engine will offer more linear acceleration. This should make it a lot more beginner friendly and also a lot easier to ride off-road. TVS is likely planning on using this engine as a new platform on which more bikes will be developed. So, we can also expect a supersport, and even a naked down the line.
Another interesting thing to note here is that the bike was spotted along with the Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 and the 2025 KTM 390 Adventure. This could likely be done by the brand/testers to get a decent benchmark on the upcoming bike’s performance compared to rivals. That said, given the engine’s capabilities, the bike will be a more powerful alternative to the KTM 250 Adventure.
The Apache RTX 300 is more of a road-biased adventure tourer than an off-roader. It features a typical road-biased ADV design which looks inspired from higher capacity Adventure bikes like the Ducati Multistrada V4. It features an inverted fork and monoshock suspension setup. The bike rolls on what appears to be a 19-inch front and 17-inch rear alloy wheel setup, with dual-purpose tyres to tackle light trails.
In terms of features, we expect the bike to feature riding aids such as a traction control system, switchable ABS and perhaps multiple riding modes as well. We expect the bike to be launched by mid-2025, with an expected ex-showroom price that is around the Rs 2.50 to Rs 2.60 lakh mark.
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 2
- 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
- The bike is a beast 💪 made by Indian beastsThe 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 More8 4
- 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 More4 8
- The best value for money AdventurerI 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 More8 7
