TVS has started handing over keys to the brand-new Apache RTX 300, and the first lucky dudes are already flexing their bikes on the road. Bengaluru got the first batch, and the rest of India is next in line real quick. If youโve been sleeping on this, wake up this is TVSโs first proper adventure bike built to destroy highways, twisties, and dirt trails without breaking a sweat.
What Makes the RTX 300 an Absolute Monster
Under the skin sits a completely fresh 299.1 cc liquid-cooled, DOHC single that pumps out 36 horses and a meaty 28.5 Nm of torque. Thatโs enough grunt to leave KTM 250 Adventure and Yezdi Adventure crying in the dust. It gets ride-by-wire, a bi-directional quickshifter (up and down shifts without clutch โ pure bliss), cruise control, assist & slipper clutch, and four ride modes: Urban, Rain, Tour, and full-send Rally mode for when you wanna slide.
Looks? Straight fire. Razor-sharp Class D LED headlight with DRL fangs, tall windscreen that actually works, golden USD forks, split seats, upswept exhaust, and a sculpted tank that screams aggression. Pick from Viper Green (BTO only), Tarn Bronze, Metallic Blue, Lightning Black, or Pearl White. Want to go full custom? The Built-to-Order (BTO) route lets you spec adjustable front & rear suspension, brass-coated chain that lasts forever, custom frame colour, and even TPMS for peace of mind.
Off-Road Game on Point
200 mm ground clearance, 500 mm water-wading depth, switchable dual-channel ABS, adventure rubber, traction control, and a bulletproof steel trellis frame โ this thing laughs at broken roads and slush. Front 320 mm + rear 240 mm discs stop it dead when youโre being a hooligan.
