TVS Apache RTR 310 Review: Price, Images, Mileage & More
The TVS Apache RTR 310 is the latest addition to the Apache lineup, and it comes packed with impressive features and performance enhancements. Under the hood, it houses the proven and reliable 312cc liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine, a powerplant that has already earned its stripes in the Apache RR310 and BMW 310s. In the RTR 310, this engine churns out a healthy 35.6hp and 28.7Nm of torque, which marks a slight improvement of 1.6hp and 0.7Nm over its predecessors. It's paired with a slick 6-speed gearbox that incorporates an assist-and-slipper clutch, ensuring smooth and precise shifts.
The Apache RTR 310's chassis is built around a lightweight aluminum trellis frame, reminiscent of the design seen in the RR310. While the rear subframe differs from its sibling, it still maintains a sporty profile, rising sharply towards the pillion seat and tail section. Suspension duties are handled by an upside-down fork at the front and a mono-shock at the rear, with rear preload adjustability available as standard. The motorcycle rides on 17-inch wheels at both ends, fitted with dual compound radial tires for excellent grip. Additionally, the RTR 310 offers riders the flexibility of choosing from five distinct riding modes, catering to various riding preferences.
In terms of features, the TVS Apache RTR 310 leaves no stone unturned. It boasts a landscape-oriented 5.0-inch TFT screen, a departure from the portrait-oriented display found in the RR310. Other notable features include an LED headlight and tail light, cruise control, a tire pressure monitoring system, and the convenience of a bi-directional quick-shifter. Moreover, the RTR 310 takes comfort to the next level with heated and cooled seats. For added safety and performance, the motorcycle comes equipped with race-tuned dynamic stability control and linear stability control. TVS also offers a range of packages through its Built To Order (BTS) customization program, which includes adjustable suspension among other features.
