Highlights

  • Apache RR 310 and Apache RTR 310 are flagship in TVS’s portfolio
  • Both bikes are powered by the same 312cc single-cylinder unit with different power outputs
  • Apache RTR 310 gets additional features over the RR 310

TVS Motor Company has launched the new TVS Apache RTR 310, and the new streetfighter is based on the flagship TVS Apache RR 310, but the RTR 310 gets several noteworthy changes, including segment-first features. With optional Built to Order kits offering a long list of features, the Apache RTR 310 is one of the most feature-packed motorcycles available in the Indian market. And it has several differences from its sibling the Apache RR 310 as well. Here’s a look at the key differences between the RTR 310 and the RR 310.

Same 312 cc Engine, But Different

The 312.12 cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine of the RTR 310 is the same as the RR 310’s but there are some changes in the state of tune. The intake and airbox have been changed, and some changes have been carried out in the internals of the exhaust as well. So, the RTR 310 not just sounds different, but also makes slightly more power and torque than the RR 310.

Design & Other Features

The TVS RTR 310 features a completely different design language, with its sharp and sporty silhouette. The bodywork features sharp creases and the bike has a sport stance which underscores its streetfighter appeal. The split LED headlight automatically controls throw and brightness depending on the speed of the bike and ambient light conditions. The sharp tail section features a dynamic twin tail light which adapts to the intensity of braking, flashing red during rapid deceleration as a warning to those behind.

Prices

The base variant of the TVS Apache RTR 310 is priced at Rs. 2.43 lakh (Ex-showroom), which is around Rs. 28,000 less expensive than the base variant TVS Apache RR 310, priced at Rs. 2.72 lakh (Ex-showroom). But the base variant doesn't get the bi-directional quickshifter, which is only available a variant above, priced at Rs. 2,57,990 (Ex-showroom). And for the Fury Yellow colour variant, the price goes up to Rs. 2,63,990. 

 

But then, the adjustable suspension is only available in the Dynamic kit, priced at Rs. 18,000 and for those looking at availing of the 6-axis IMU powered electronics, which include lean-sensitive ABS, traction control and ABS, the price will be a further addition of Rs. 22,000 pushing up the price of the RTR 310 BTO to Rs. 3,03,990 (Ex-showroom). And if one has to choose the Sepang Blue colour option, the price further shoots up to Rs. 3,13,990 (Ex-showroom).

 

The RR 310, on the other hand, with just the Dynamic Kit (with adjustable suspension) costs Rs. 2,87,000 (Ex-showroom), and even with the Race Kit added on (with lowered handlebar, and raised footpegs), it's still shy of the 3 lakh mark at Rs. 2,97,000 (Ex-showroom).
