You also get wheelie control, a bi-directional quick-shifter, and even a heated-and-cooled rider seat – which is a segment-first feature. You get a tyre pressure monitoring system, an IMU-based electronics suite, which allows it to have cornering ABS, cornering traction control, and cornering cruise control. But, what’s even more impressive is the number of features and functionality it packs. But even then it doesn’t feel its weight.Īlso read: TVS Apache RTR 310 Launched in India at Rs 2.43 Lakh TVS Apache RTR 310: Features & Equipmentįeatures-wise, forget the G 310 family, the RTR 310 blows all of its rivals out of the water with its long list of goodies! It gets a new 5-inch inch TFT display, which is of good quality and is easy to read in direct sunlight. It weighs around 169kg (wet), which is slightly more than its direct rivals and the G 310 R. But, in terms of accessibility and practicality, there isn’t any compromise here. The handlebar is placed slightly forward and is lower, while the pegs are more rear-set. Hop on to the motorcycle and it’s quite evident that the riding position is a little more aggressive than the G 310 R. If there’s a design element that doesn’t really gel here, it’s the exhaust – it’s a bit of an eyesore and looks quite bulky in an otherwise sleek and sharp-looking motorcycle. The fit-and-finish quality is typically TVS, meaning everything feels premium and is built to last. You get some cool dual-tone colour options, namely Fury Yellow, Arsenal Black, and Sepang Blue (Rs 10,000 extra!). The tyre size is unchanged, meaning it continues to roll on 17-inch wheels. The steel trellis frame for example comes with a new aluminium rear frame, resulting in a sharper and tapered tail section. The wheelbase and overall geometry are unchanged from the G 310 R, albeit there are a lot of new elements. It definitely seems to take inspiration from the likes of the Yamaha MTs and Ducati Streetfighters but it’s not a cut-paste job for sure as we had thought earlier. The front end is beefy, highlighted by a hunkered-down stance, thanks to its twin full LED headlamp setup along with a sharp and chiselled cowl. There’s not a single design element here that looks similar to the G 310 – the RTR looks completely different, and that’s a good thing.Ĭoming to its design, I have to say that it nails the roadster look. Unlike what BMW did with the G 310 RR – took the Apache RR 310, slapped BMW stickers and a paint job on it, and sold it as is – the TVS design team went to town to give the Apache RTR an identity of its own. What is it? And how is it different from its mechanically identical 310 siblings? Well, we got to ride it in Thailand – on the road as well as on a track – to find out. Now, while all that is true, the RTR 310 brings a whole lot more to the table. Or, you can even call it an Apache RR 310 that’s shed its skin in order to be more road-focused. ![]() ![]() On the face of it, the RTR 310 is just a G 310 R in TVS’ clothing – a street-naked motorcycle that’s more or less the same as its BMW counterpart. After the TVS Apache RR 310, BMW G 310 R, G 310 GS, and the G 310 RR, the brand new Apache RTR 310 is the latest product to join the family. ![]() The BMW-TVS partnership is a love affair that keeps on giving.
