Sharp design, and multiple ride modes. Priced from Rs 2.39 lakh, it’s built for thrill-seekers who want big-bike power without the bulk. Not for beginners—pure performance, total dominance.


It looks fast, but goes faster.

Even though it has a 312-cc engine, its performance can leave 400-cc motorcycles to dust.And it’s so quick that if you lean backwards and open the throttle, you risk a wheelie (front wheel lifting off the ground).

This motorcycle is not for beginners.


What is it?

It’s the new Apache RTR 310 – the flagship motorcycle by TVS – and competes with bikes such as Yamaha MT-03, Bajaj Pulsar NS400z, and KTM 250 Duke. Prices start at Rs 2,39,990, ex-showroom.


How does it look?

It’s got an unapologetically aggressive design – muscular fuel tank, upside-down telescopic forks in golden colour, low rider seat and high pillion seat, transparent clutch cover that shows the intricate workings of the clutch mechanism, headlight and DRLs that look like eyes of an angry cyborg from a Hollywood film, and words such as HyperSpec, Apache, DOHC, and RTR 310 plastered all over the body.


The overall fit and finish, including paint quality and switchgear, is world class.


How does it ride?

It’s powered by the proven 312.2-cc petrol engine, and there are five riding modes – Urban, Rain, Sport, Track, and Supermoto – each with slightly different power delivery.

Initial acceleration (in 1st and 2nd gears) is so intense that you have to lean forward to keep the front tyre grounded. But in 3rd and 4th gears, power seems to taper off (or so it appears after the explosive start). In 5th and 6th gears, at speeds above 100 km/h, power delivery is good, and overtaking long vehicles on a highway is a breeze.


Is it the best in segment?

It’s got a small engine with a big grunt. It’s high on technology and features, on throttle response, on build quality, and on design. It also makes you realise that you don’t need a large engine for monstrous performance.
