TVS Apache Rtr 310: engine and gearbox

Powering the new Apache RTR 310 is the tried and tested 312cc liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine that has been doing duty in the Apache RR310 and the BMW 310s. Here, it produces 35.6hp and 28.7Nm, which is 1.6hp and 0.7Nm more. It comes mated to a 6-speed gearbox via an assist-and-slipper clutch.

TVS Apache RTR 310: underpinnings

Holding everything together is a lightweight, alumnium trellis frame that closely resembles that of the RR310. The rear subframe, though, is different, but still quite sporty, rising sharply towards the pillion seat and tail section. The RTR is suspended on an upside-down fork/monoshock setup, with the standard bike featuring only rear preload adjustability. It rolls on 17-inch wheels at both ends wrapped in dual compound radial tyres. The RTR 310 also comes with five riding modes.

TVS Apache RTR 310: features

Fully digital instrumentation is standard on this new TVS, in the form of a landscape-oriented 5.0-inch TFT screen, unlike the portrait-oriented TFT dash on the RR310. Other features include an LED headlight and tail-light, cruise control, tyre pressure monitoring system, bi-directional quickshifter along with heated and cooled seats. The RTR 310 also gets race-tuned dynamic stability control and linear stability control. Many of these features are available as a part of packages under TVS' Built To Order (BTS) customisation programme along with adjustable suspension. 

TVS Apache RTR 310: pricing and rivals

Xxxx variants and pricing. For reference, the KTM 390 Duke currently costs Rs 2.97 lakh, while the Triumph Speed 400 is priced at Rs 2.33 lakh, and the BMW G 310 R sits between the pair at Rs 2.85 lakh. The RTR's sportbike cousin, the Apache RR310, is priced at Rs 2.72 lakh.
