TVS Apache RTX 300: TVS Motor Company has finally entered the adventure motorcycle segment with the Apache RTX 300, a segment that has stirred quite a stir with prospective buyers. The vehicle is priced very competitively at around INR 1.99 lakh up to around INR 2.34 lakh (ex-showroom) and it offers a polished blend of performance, features, and utility for everyday likes to stiffen the competition towards the likes of KTM 250 Adventure and Suzuki V-Strom SX.
Powerful 299.1cc single-cylinder
A brand new 299.1cc single-cylinder, liquid-cooled RT-XD4 engine, developing almost 36 hp and 28.5 Nm of torque, is at the heart of the RTX 300_which paired up with a 6-speed gearbox that includes an assist & slipper clutch and, on higher variants, a bi-directional quickshifter for smooth up/down gear changes.

Impressive Torque and Looks
In terms of performance on actual Indian roads, the torque here gives the impression of refinement, being well spread throughout the low-to-mid rev range. Whether you’re in the city or on a highway, you will see that acceleration is good, and it is simply bliss to cruise while riding upright on the highway in calm breezes while resting relaxed. Be it on the street or gravel, with knees compactly fitted into the tank dam, handling broken roads and light ‘off-road’ trails comes as second nature with the 200 mm of ground clearance and a pair of dual-purpose tires.
Dual-channel ABS System
Another showstopper here for these manufacturers is that almost every other gadget has been tossed into the Apache RR 310’s list of specs. It comes with a 5-inch colour TFT instrument cluster which boasts Bluetooth connectivity including call/SMS alerts, map mirroring with Google Maps, and the option for direct GoPro control. Cruise control, dual-channel ABS with disabling, and riding modes (Urban, Rain, Tour, Rally) merrily solidify the idea of yet another truly contemporary, flexible motorcycle.
Mileage 30 to 35 km/l
Subject to the grace you can afford under different circumstances when Geneva is facing the grimness of a bugaboo, users have come to note mileage in the range of 30 to 35 km/l, depending upon traffic and topography. This amounts to crossing 400 km on a highway from its current 12.5-litre fuel tank.

TVS Apache RTX 300 adventure bike
Summarizing, the TVS Apache RTX 300 adventure bike is making a maiden entrance with a good mix of power and equipment and zealous objurgation in India at an affordable price tag. Great for short-distance riding and everyday riding but in the meantime, some owners feel changes in suspension set-up and service infrastructures are something that has to be improved in the trail as the instance matures.
