TVS has launched the Apache RTR 310 in India at a starting price of Rs 2.43 lakh (ex-showroom). The top variant of the motorcycle costs Rs 2.64 lakh and TVS offers Built To Order (BTO) kit too. The launch of the motorcycle was long awaited as TVS lacked a naked sports bike in the 300cc segment.

TVS RTR 310 offers the already tested 312cc liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine that is already present on the Apache RR 310 as well as BMW 310s. The motorcycle produces 35.6hp of peak power and 28.7Nm of maximum torque. The engine on the RTR 310 produces more power and torque figures than its cousins. It is paired with 6-speed gearbox and gets assist-and-slipper clutch too.

The alloy wheels are 8 spoke dual coloured and there is adjustability for hand levers.
