Hitting the market with a fiercely competitive introductory price of just ₹1.99 lakh (ex-showroom), this motorcycle is poised to be a game-changer. TVS claims the Apache RTX 300 is engineered as the ultimate fusion of thrilling adventure and long-distance comfort, putting it on a direct collision course with established rivals like the Royal Enfield Scram 440, KTM 250 Adventure, and the Yezdi Adventure.
Let’s dive deep into the features that make this machine a formidable new contender.
The Heart of the Beast: Engine and Unmatched Performance
At its core, the new TVS Apache RTX 300 is built upon the company’s brand-new RT-XD4 engine platform, a sophisticated architecture designed to deliver a flawless balance between adrenaline-pumping, race-derived performance and the relaxed composure needed for extensive touring. The bike is powered by a potent 299.1cc single-cylinder, liquid-cooled DOHC engine. This high-revving motor is a powerhouse, churning out an impressive 36 PS of power at 9,000 rpm and 28.5 Nm of peak torque at 7,000 rpm.
Mated to a slick 6-speed gearbox and complemented by an assist-and-slipper clutch for smooth and aggressive downshifts, the powertrain is built for excitement. What truly sets it apart is the segment-leading electronics package. The rider gets access to four distinct riding modes—Urban, Rain, Tour, and Rally—allowing for instant adjustment of the bike’s performance characteristics to perfectly match the road conditions and weather, a feature rarely seen at this price point.
Masterful Control: Handling and Suspension Dynamics
To ensure the Apache RTX 300 can conquer any terrain with confidence, TVS has equipped it with a top-tier suspension setup. The front features robust inverted cartridge forks, while the rear employs a mono-tube floating piston monoshock, a combination that promises exceptional stability and feedback. The entire package is built around a lightweight yet rigid steel trellis frame, providing a strong and balanced foundation. Thanks to a rider-friendly low seat height and an excellent power-to-weight ratio, the Apache RTX 300 offers nimble and precise handling, making it equally adept at carving through city traffic as it is at tackling rugged mountain trails.
Born to be Wild: A Striking Rally-Inspired Design
The design language of the Apache RTX 300 screams adventure from every angle. Drawing heavy inspiration from hardcore rally bikes, it features a commanding presence. The front is dominated by a sharp, I-shaped LED headlamp, a transparent windscreen, and a distinctive beak-style fender. The muscular fuel tank and sleek LED indicators further enhance its aggressive and purposeful stance.
TVS is offering the bike in five stunning color options: Pearl White, Viper Green, Lightning Black, Metallic Blue, and Tarn Bronze. Each color scheme is a sophisticated blend of matte and glossy textures, highlighted by the iconic Apache red signature accents, giving the motorcycle a premium, sporty, and head-turning look.
The Tech Advantage: A New Benchmark in Features
When it comes to technology, the TVS Apache RTX 300 has elevated the standards for its entire segment. It boasts a brilliant, full-color TFT display that serves as a command center for a suite of smart features, including call and SMS alerts, GoPro control, and seamless map mirroring for navigation.
The safety and control systems are equally advanced. The bike comes loaded with a dual-mode Traction Control system, three distinct ABS modes (Rally, Urban, Rain), a Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS), and even Cruise Control for effortless highway cruising. With this exhaustive list of features, the TVS Apache RTX 300 firmly establishes itself as the most technologically advanced and feature-rich adventure motorcycle in its class.
