TVS Launches Apache RTX 300 in India With Aggressive Intro Pricing

Early tests point to standout value for road‑biased touring.

Overview

  • TVS opened bookings for three variants at ₹1.99 lakh (Base), ₹2.14 lakh (Top) and ₹2.29 lakh (BTO), with deliveries expected soon.
  • The new 299.1cc RT‑XD4 single produces 36 PS and 28.5 Nm and pairs with a 6‑speed gearbox featuring an assist‑slipper clutch and bi‑directional quickshifter.
  • The RT‑LSC suite brings four ride modes (Tour, Rally, Urban, Rain), switchable dual‑channel ABS with Rally ABS, traction control, cruise control, and a 5‑inch TFT with Map Mirroring, with TPMS and adjustable suspension on higher trims.
  • A steel trellis frame, 41 mm USD fork and monoshock with 180 mm travel, 19/17 wheels, and 200 mm ground clearance target tarmac touring with light off‑road use.
  • Early reviews praise comfort, balanced suspension and generous features for the price but flag a linear engine feel, limited tyre grip, minor vibrations and some fueling twitchiness, as the bike undercuts rivals like KTM’s 250 Adventure.
