TVS Motor Company is all set to enter the adventure motorcycle segment with its brand-new TVS Apache RTX 300. This will be the company’s first-ever adventure bike for the Indian market, and it’s scheduled to make its official debut on 15 October 2025. The bike was earlier seen in a brief showcase at the India Mobility Global Expo, creating strong excitement among biking enthusiasts.
Semi-Faired Design and Rugged Look
The TVS Apache RTX 300 carries a bold and muscular design that stands out from traditional adventure bikes. It comes with a semi-faired body style, which gives it a perfect balance between sportiness and off-road practicality. The design allows for smooth handling on highways as well as stability on rough terrains.
The bike will feature 19-inch front and 17-inch rear alloy wheels, equipped with fat dual-sport tyres that enhance grip and comfort during off-road rides. The suspension setup includes upside-down front forks finished in a premium gold tone and a rear monoshock for better stability and comfort. The higher ground clearance compared to the Apache RTR 310 or RR 310 makes it even more capable for adventure touring.
Safety and Feature Highlights
When it comes to safety, the Apache RTX 300 doesn’t disappoint. It will come with disc brakes on both wheels along with dual-channel ABS, ensuring confident braking on all surfaces. The front section sports an aggressive fascia complemented by a tall windscreen, offering excellent wind protection for long rides.
The adventure setup includes hand guards, luggage mounting points, and a rear luggage rack, making it ideal for touring and adventure travel.
On the technology front, the bike borrows several smart features from the Apache RTR 310, including a digital TFT instrument cluster with Bluetooth connectivity, SmartXonnect app support, music control, and turn-by-turn navigation. These features make it both rider-friendly and modern in appeal.
Engine and Performance
Under the hood, the TVS Apache RTX 300 will be powered by the company’s new RT-XD4 engine, a 300cc DOHC, 4-valve, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled unit. This engine is capable of producing around 35 bhp of power and 28.5 Nm of peak torque. It will be paired with a 6-speed gearbox, ensuring smooth power delivery and an enjoyable ride across different terrains.
The refined engine setup is designed to offer strong low-end torque, which is essential for adventure riding, while maintaining the sporty performance TVS bikes are known for.
Expected Price and Rivals
After the recent reduction in GST on motorcycles under 350cc, the TVS Apache RTX 300 is expected to come at a competitive price point. It will go up against strong contenders in the segment such as Royal Enfield Himalayan 450, Yezdi Adventure, Kawasaki Versys X-300, and Hero Xpulse 300 (expected).
Final Thoughts
The upcoming TVS Apache RTX 300 marks an important milestone for TVS Motor as it enters the growing adventure motorcycle segment. With a powerful new engine, feature-rich design, and modern connectivity options, it has the potential to become a strong alternative to established adventure bikes in the market. The launch on 15 October 2025 will reveal its final specifications and price, but one thing is certain — the Apache RTX 300 is set to make waves in India’s mid-cap adventure bike segment.
