TVS Motor Company is set to make waves in the adventure motorcycle segment with its first-ever adventure bike, the Apache RTX 300. With the adventure (ADV) motorcycle market booming in India, TVS is capitalizing on this trend to introduce a powerful and feature-packed bike. Following the successful launches of the Ntorq 150 scooter and Orbiter EV, the Apache RTX 300 is TVSโs bold entry into the thrilling world of adventure riding.
First Look and Launch Plans
The Apache RTX 300 was revealed at the 2025 Bharat Mobility Expo, giving enthusiasts a sneak peek at TVSโs vision for adventure biking. While an official launch date is still under wraps, the bike is expected to debut globally at the EICMA 2025 show in November. The India launch is likely to follow in early December at TVSโs MotoSoul 5.0 event, with the bike hitting showrooms soon after. Exact timelines are yet to be confirmed, but excitement is building for this new model.
Robust Design and Build
Built on a strong steel trellis frame, the Apache RTX 300 shares its foundation with the Apache RR 310 and RTR 310, suggesting a road-oriented adventure bike with off-road capabilities. The suspension setup includes long-travel upside-down (USD) forks at the front and a mono-shock at the rear, ensuring a smooth ride on diverse terrains. The bike rides on a 19-inch front wheel and a 17-inch rear wheel, equipped with block-pattern tires for excellent traction.
Cutting-Edge Features
The Apache RTX 300 is packed with modern technology to enhance the riding experience. A 5-inch TFT display offers smartphone connectivity, turn-by-turn navigation, and call/SMS alerts. Riders can enjoy multiple riding modes, switchable rear ABS, traction control, cruise control, and cornering ABS for superior control and safety. These features make the RTX 300 a versatile choice for both urban commutes and long adventure trips.
Powerful Engine Performance
At the heart of the Apache RTX 300 is a new 299cc single-cylinder, liquid-cooled RT-XD4 engine. This engine produces 35 horsepower and 28.5 Nm of torque, delivering a thrilling yet efficient ride. Paired with a 6-speed gearbox and a slip-and-assist clutch, the engine ensures smooth and responsive gear changes, ideal for both city streets and rugged trails.
