BREAKING: 2025 TVS Apache RTR 310 Launched - Even More Loaded Than Before

Quick Reads:

• The 2025 TVS Apache RTR 310 has been launched at Rs 2,39,990 (ex-showroom, introductory)

• Gets even more rider electronic aids than before

• Most of the features have been borrowed from the current-gen Apache RR 310

TVS has given its flagship streetfighter, the Apache RTR 310, a significant upgrade for 2025, making it sharper, smarter, and a whole lot more sophisticated than before. The naked sibling of the Apache RR 310 has now evolved into even more of a tech powerhouse, loaded with advanced features that are not only rare but unheard of in its segment.

All The New Goodies

• Gen 2 5-inch TFT console

• Keyless ignition system

• Transparent clutch cover from the RR310

• Drag Torque Control

• Cornering Drag Torque Control

• Launch Control

• Sequential LED turn indicators

• Knuckle guards as standard

• 4 colours: Fiery Red, Arsenal Black, Fury Yellow, Sepang Blue

The Heart Of The Matter

The TVS Apache RTR 310 continues to make the same 35.6PS at 9,700rpm and 28.7Nm at 6,650rpm from the 312.2cc liquid-cooled, single-cylinder, reverse-inclined engine. The aforementioned figures are for the Track, Sport, and SuperMoto (rear ABS off) riding modes; while it makes 27.1PS at 7,650rpm and 27.3Nm at 6,700rpm in Urban and Rain mode. This is paired to a 6-speed gearbox with a bi-directional quickshifter (except for the base variant).

Design Changes

Visually, the Apache RTR 310 retains its aggressive and sharp streetfighter stance but now comes in refreshed colours with subtle design tweaks. The 2025 colour palette includes Fiery Red along with Arsenal Black, Fury Yellow, and Sepang Blue - 3 names we’ve seen before but with new shades, graphics and finishes.

The transparent clutch cover that debuted with the 2024 TVS Apache RR 310, and the sequential LED turn indicators that were introduced with the 2025 RR 310 have made their way here. It now gets Knuckle guards as standard now as opposed to being optional accessories.

Packed To The Brim

The biggest highlights for this TVS bike include the addition of keyless ignition, cornering traction control, launch control, cornering drag torque control, slope dependent control, cornering cruise control - but all of these are only available if you upgrade and pay extra for the ‘Dynamic Pro Kit’ under the BTO (Built To Order) program.

The ‘Dynamic Kit’ on the other hand, gets KYB fully adjustable suspension at both ends, TPMS (Tyre Pressure Monitoring System), and a brass coated chain over what’s offered in the Top variant. The Top variant adds the bidirectional quickshifter over the base. The base variant now gets electronic aids that work without the IMU, so you get a regular cruise control, traction control, rear wheel lift-off control, and drag torque control - as standard.

What’s Been Carried Over?

This TVS Apache bike retains features like the 5 riding modes: Supermoto, Track, Sport, Urban, Rain and the dynamic LED headlight which increases brightness as the speeds increase. As does the 5-inch colour TFT console with Bluetooth connectivity, turn-by-turn navigation, crash alert, GoPro controls, and call/SMS alerts. Interestingly, the cooled/ventilated rider seat is missing this time around. Turns out, TVS, with all their technological prowess is no match to the mighty Indian climate.

The new bike continues with a trellis frame, aluminium subframe, aluminum swingarm, 43mm inverted fork, pre-load adjustable monoshock, switchable dual-channel ABS, the excellent Michelin Road 5 tyres (110-section front, 150-section rear), 800mm seat height, 180mm ground clearance, petal disc brakes (300mm front, 240mm rear) and a radial caliper at the front with sintered pads.

Pricing

The introductory prices (limited period) for the 2025 TVS Apache RTR 310 start at Rs 2,39,990 for the base variant (Arsenal Black), Rs 2,57,000 for the top variant (Fiery Red, Fury Yellow), Rs 2,75,000 for the BTO Dynamic Kit, and Rs 2,85,000 for the BTO Dynamic Pro Kit (all prices ex-showroom, introductory). Post-introductory prices will see a Rs 10,000 bump across all the variants.

ZigSays

Overall, TVS seems to have gone all guns blazing with the 2025 Apache RTR 310 as it now offers an even more comprehensive package than before. The icing on the cake is that the 2025 version costs  almost the same as before. A little tidbit: with the introductory pricing, the 2025 RTR 310 is in fact Rs 3,000 cheaper than the launch price of the RTR 310 back from September 2023!

With these changes, the Apache RTR 310 not only closes the gap but arguably outpaces its competition in terms of sheer features, bringing flagship-level electronics to a more accessible price point. But as they say, there’s no replacement for displacement. The RTR may have more tech - but its rival, the KTM 390 Duke will still run circles around it when it comes to outright performance. TVS will have a better response to the Duke in the future (hint: twin cylinder), but that’ll take time.
