TVS Apache RR 310 vs Apache RTR 310: What Are The Differences?

TVS has launched the 2024 Apache RR 310 with various updates. But, how different is it from the Apache RTR 310? Let’s have a look:

Design

The TVS Apache RR 310 gets an aggressive and muscular design language and the front fairing’s styling looks very well integrated with the rest of the bike. The 2024 model gets winglets attached to the bike’s fairing which make the bike look more aggressive than the previous model. 

The Apache RTR 310 gets a very aggressive design as well but with sharper design lines than the RR 310, which suits the RTR 310’s streetfighter nature. The split-headlight design looks very unique and the bike has a very striking road presence overall. 

Engine

Both bikes are powered by the same 312cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled, reverse-inclined engine. In the 2024 Apache RR 310, the motor produces 38PS at 9800rpm and 29Nm at 7900rpm with a claimed top speed of 164kmph while in the RTR 310, it produces 35.6PS at 9700rpm and 28.7Nm at 6650rpm with a claimed top speed of 150kmph. Both bikes get a slip-and-assist clutch and quickshifter.

Both get Bluetooth connectivity and turn-by-turn navigation. The RTR 310’s console gets 5 display themes and you can connect helmet communication devices and your GoPro with it. Both bikes get all-LED lighting. The bikes get four riding modes: Sport, Track, Urban and Rain. The RTR 310 gets an additional Supermoto mode that switches off the rear ABS.

The bi-directional quickshifter is available as standard on the Bomber Grey colour option on the RR 310 and the Fury Yellow colour option on the RTR 310. The Racing Red and Arsenal Black colours on the RR 310 and the RTR 310 get a quickshifter variant that cost Rs 17,000 and Rs 18,000 extra respectively over the ones without it.

Price

Here’s how much the TVS Apache RR 310 and the RTR 310 costs:

As you can see above, the Apache RR 310 is the more expensive of the two. It is also more powerful than the RTR 310 but the streetfighter is more feature-loaded. So, choosing between the two comes down to one’s own preferences and priority. If you want a sub-350cc supersport bike with good power and torque output and a pretty good features list, then the 2024 TVS Apache RR 310 is the one for you. On the other hand, if you want a streetfighter that offers good performance figures and a very extensive features list, then the RTR 310 is the one for you.
