TVS Steps into Adventure Biking with the New Apache RTX 300
IndiaWorld.in reports that TVS Motor Company has entered India’s fast-growing adventure motorcycle market with its all-new TVS Apache RTX 300.
This premium ADV marks the brand’s first step into the mid-capacity adventure segment, built on an all-new RT-XD4 platform.
Designed for both touring comfort and racing DNA, the RTX 300 combines performance, durability, and tech-loaded adventure features — making it a top choice for India’s new-age explorers.
1. Powerful Engine & Performance – 299cc Liquid-Cooled Motor
The TVS Apache RTX 300 engine is a newly developed 299.1cc single-cylinder, liquid-cooled DOHC unit producing 36 bhp at 9,000 rpm and 28.5 Nm torque at 7,000 rpm.
It’s paired with a 6-speed gearbox, featuring assist and slipper clutch for smoother downshifts.
TVS also introduced a Dual Cooling Jacket system, improving thermal control in India’s hot climates. The engine supports E20 ethanol-blended fuel, ensuring future compliance and eco-friendliness.
Additionally, a bi-directional quickshifter allows effortless gear transitions — making the bike a dream for highway cruisers and off-roaders alike.
2. Frame & Suspension – Engineered for Every Terrain
Built on a steel trellis frame, the Apache RTX 300 ensures a perfect balance between strength and agility.
The WP-sourced suspension includes inverted cartridge forks up front and a mono-tube shock with floating piston at the rear, offering better handling on Indian roads.
Its rally-inspired ergonomics ensure comfortable upright seating and wide handlebars, while the low seat height provides easy reach for shorter riders.
This setup makes long rides and off-road adventures equally comfortable.

The 5-inch TFT display supports Bluetooth connectivity, map mirroring, and turn-by-turn navigation — ideal for long tours across India.
Riders also get cruise control, traction control, wheelie mitigation, and terrain-adaptive ABS for added safety.

On startup, the welcome animation on the TFT adds a premium touch, while blade-style tail lamps give the rear a futuristic feel.

Adventure touring demands practicality — and TVS delivers.
The Apache RTX 300 accessories include raised front fenders, knuckle guards, bash plates, and tank guards, all built for rugged exploration.
Tourers can also opt for GIVI top boxes and panniers with quick-release mounts — perfect for long trips.
A USB charger and TPMS (Tyre Pressure Monitoring System) add convenience for cross-country rides.
This modular setup allows riders to customize their bike for both daily commutes and long expeditions.
