The TVS Apache RTX 300 has officially landed in India, marking the brand’s long-awaited entry into the adventure-touring motorcycle segment. Priced at an introductory ₹1.99 lakh (ex-showroom), the RTX 300 brings TVS’s racing DNA to a whole new category — where versatility, long-distance comfort, and off-road capability take center stage.
This launch doesn’t just expand TVS’s Apache portfolio; it positions the company directly against heavyweights like the KTM 250 Adventure, Yezdi Adventure, and Royal Enfield Scram 440. And going by first impressions, the RTX 300 means serious business.
Built for Adventure, Engineered for Power
Underneath the sharp, aggressive styling lies a newly developed 299cc liquid- and oil-cooled single-cylinder engine — the RT-XD4 unit.
- Power: 35.5 hp @ 9,000 rpm
- Torque: 28.5 Nm @ 7,000 rpm
- Gearbox: 6-speed with bi-directional quickshifter
- Assist & Slipper Clutch: Ensures smooth downshifts and easy control in tricky terrains
That setup should make the RTX 300 one of the most responsive ADVs in its segment, especially with its refined throttle response and strong mid-range pull — perfect for both trail runs and touring highways.
Design: Bold, Muscular, and Purpose-Built
The TVS Apache RTX 300 wears its ADV credentials proudly. It sits on a steel trellis frame paired with an aluminum die-cast swingarm, ensuring both rigidity and agility.
Key visual highlights:
- Eye-shaped LED headlamps with integrated DRLs and LED indicators
- Beak-style front cowl reminiscent of rally bikes
- Tall windscreen for wind protection on long rides
- Muscular 15-litre fuel tank with aggressive side shrouds
- Split seats and rear luggage rack for touring practicality
- Color options: Viper Green, Tarn Bronze, Metallic Blue, Lightning Black, and Pearl White
From the front, it looks imposing and athletic — a proper adventure tourer with a clear visual link to TVS’s Apache performance family.
Feature-Loaded for the Modern Rider
TVS hasn’t held back on the tech. The full-color TFT display is the nerve center of the RTX 300, offering everything from ride data to connected features.
- Call & SMS alerts
- GoPro control integration
- Segment-first Map Mirroring for on-screen navigation
- Four ride modes: Tour, Rally, Urban, and Rain
- ABS modes: Adjustable between Rally, Urban, and Rain settings
- Traction control: Two levels of sensitivity
- Cruise control for effortless long-distance rides
- TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System) for safety
This is arguably the most feature-packed adventure bike in its class — and that’s saying something.
Engineered for Comfort and Control
TVS’s engineers have clearly worked on the thermal and mechanical side to make the RTX 300 long-distance friendly.
- The two-way thermostat system and intelligent airflow ducts ensure the engine stays cool even under heavy load.
- The long-travel suspension (details yet undisclosed) and ergonomic seat geometry make it well-suited for all-day riding.
- A comfortable upright riding position paired with wide handlebars makes it ideal for Indian roads — and their unpredictable terrains.
This is a bike that feels equally at home on the Mumbai-Pune Expressway as it does on Ladakh’s broken tarmac.
Price and Availability
At an introductory price of ₹1.99 lakh (ex-showroom), TVS has priced the RTX 300 aggressively — undercutting the KTM 250 Adventure and Yezdi Adventure while offering significantly more features.
Bookings are expected to open across TVS dealerships and the company’s online portal later this month. Deliveries are set to begin in select metro cities first before expanding nationwide.
The TVS Apache RTX 300 isn’t just another new motorcycle; it’s a declaration of intent from TVS to own the adventure-tourer segment. With 35.5 hp of power, a fully digital feature suite, and that tempting ₹1.99 lakh price tag, the RTX 300 brings premium capability within reach of serious riders and weekend wanderers alike.
If you’ve been waiting for a made-in-India ADV that mixes performance, practicality, and price, this might just be the one to beat in 2025.
