The TVS Apache RTX 300 Adventure is expected to launch in India by August 2025. It was briefly showcased at the Bharat Mobility Global Expo 2025 and has since been spotted numerous times during testing, indicating that its launch is very near. This bike will compete with bikes like the Royal Enfield Himalayan 450, KTM 250 Adventure, and Suzuki V-Strom SX.
Key Features of TVS Apache RTX 300 Adventure:
This bike is an exciting option for those who want a versatile and feature-packed adventure bike.
Engine and Performance: The TVS Apache RTX 300 will be powered by an all-new 299cc, liquid-cooled, single-cylinder ‘RTX D4’ engine. This engine has been developed in-house by TVS and will replace the older 312cc engine derived from BMW.
- This engine delivers a maximum power of 35 bhp at 9,000 rpm and a peak torque of 28.5 Nm at 7,000 rpm.
- This engine comes with a 6-speed gearbox, which will also feature an assist and slipper clutch, making gear shifts smoother and reducing wheel hop during downshifts.
Design and Build: The Apache RTX 300 will be based on a robust trellis frame, likely developed specifically for this bike.
- It will feature a sharp and muscular design, with a dual-headlight setup (possibly LED) and a tall windscreen that will provide better wind protection on long journeys.
- It will get a prominent beak fender and a muscular fuel tank, giving it a bold and rugged look.
- Spy shots suggest it will have a 19-inch front and 17-inch rear alloy wheel combination fitted with road-oriented dual-purpose tires. This indicates that it will primarily be a road-biased adventure tourer, though it will also have light off-roading capabilities.
- Its riding position will be upright and comfortable, with a wide and comfortable seat suitable for long rides.
Suspension and Braking:
- For suspension, it is expected to get an upside-down (USD) fork at the front and a monoshock suspension at the rear. Like other premium bikes from TVS, it might also offer the option of adjustable suspension.
- For braking, it will feature disc brakes on both wheels, along with dual-channel ABS. Most importantly, it might also offer switchable rear ABS, allowing the rear ABS to be turned off during off-road riding.
Features and Technology: TVS is known for packing its bikes with a lot of features, and the Apache RTX 300 will be no exception:
- 5-inch color TFT instrument console: This will include Bluetooth connectivity, turn-by-turn navigation (via the TVS SmartXonnect app), call/SMS alerts, and other riding information.
- Ride-by-wire throttle: For better throttle response and to enable various riding modes.
- Multiple riding modes: Modes like Road, Rain, Urban, and Sports may be available, which will adjust the bike’s performance according to different riding conditions.
- Traction Control: For better grip and safety on slippery surfaces.
- Cruise Control: For a comfortable experience on long highway rides.
- All-LED lighting: For better visibility and a modern look.
- Additional protection features like radiator and fork sliders may also be included.
TVS Apache RTX 300 Adventure Expected Price in India:
The ex-showroom price of the TVS Apache RTX 300 in India is expected to be between approximately ₹2.60 lakh and ₹2.90 lakh, depending on the variant and features.
This bike will be a strong contender for Indian riders who want a versatile adventure bike that can balance daily commuting, long tours, and light off-roading. With TVS’s reliability and the Apache branding, it will surely make its mark in the Indian market.
