It comes in five colours: Pearl White, Lightning Black, Metallic Blue, Tarn Bronze and Viper Green

Looks pretty sporty even though it’s an adventure motorcycle. Tall windscreen, front beak, muscular tank extensions give it a beefy look

The bike rolls on a 19-inch front and a 17-inch rear alloy wheel, wrapped in block-pattern tubeless radial Eurogrip tyres.

There’s a 320mm front and a 240mm rear disc with dual-channel switchable ABS as standard

The TVS Apache RTX 300 gets a 5-inch TFT display with smartphone connectivity and map mirroring functionality (segment-first, it broadcasts the phone’s navigation screen).

The bike comes with a lot of riding aids like cruise control, 2-level traction control, 4 ride modes & 3 ABS modes

It weighs 180kg kerb, has a ground clearance of 200mm, and a seat height of 835mm. The bike has a 12.5-litre fuel tank.
