TVS Motor Company is testing a new 300cc adventure bike in India, which could be named the TVS Apache RTX 300. This bike is expected to launch in mid-2025, bringing TVS into the growing adventure motorcycle market.
The TVS Apache RTX 300 is an all-road bike with some off-road ability. The test bike features a semi-fairing, large windscreen, big fuel tank, and split seats. At the front, it features a beak-like fender, giving it a strong adventure look.
It uses 19-inch front wheels and 17-inch rear wheels, which are best for smooth highway rides, and it can go off-road if the TVS firm introduces an off-road version of it with 21-inch front wheels and spoke wheels.
The TVS Apache RTX 300 comes with a trellis frame along with a separate sub-frame. The suspension set-up has upside-down forks at the front and a monoshock at the back. These make the ride quite comfortable on varied roads. Both ends feature disc brakes and come with dual-channel ABS for added safety.
The TVS Apache RTX 300 will have a 299cc single-cylinder, liquid-cooled RTX D4 motor engine that the company recently showcased at TVS MotoSoul 2024. that delivers 35 bhp and 28.5 Nm of torque. This engine uses a 6-speed gearbox for smooth gear changes. The bike is expected to come with advanced features like ride modes, traction control, and a ride-by-wire throttle system for better performance and control.
The road-biased variant of the TVS Apache RTX 300 will most likely arrive sometime in mid-2025, with the off-road version, which might come later and will carry larger spoke wheels. Competition in India would be in the hands of Hero Xpulse 210 and the Royal Enfield Himalayan 450.
It should be a well-balanced adventure bike from TVS that works great on highways and can take up some off-road challenges. That is going to bridge the gap between the smaller bikes, like the Hero Xpulse, and the bigger bikes, like the Royal Enfield Himalayan.
