TVS Motor Company is ready to make a strong entry into the growing adventure motorcycle segment in India. The company will launch the all-new TVS Apache RTX 300 today, 15 October. This is TVS’s first-ever adventure tourer bike, and it is built on a brand-new platform developed specially for touring and off-road use.
With this launch, TVS is directly taking on rivals like KTM 250 Adventure, Royal Enfield Scram 440, and the Yezdi Adventure.
All-New Design for Adventure Touring
The TVS RTX 300 has already been seen in spy shots, and the final design stays close to those early looks. It features a tall windscreen, sleek LED headlamp, and a beak-style front design that gives it a proper ADV (Adventure Tourer) stance.
The muscular fuel tank blends into wide side panels, while the split-seat layout and rear luggage rack make it look practical for long journeys. The bike also rides on a 19-inch front and 17-inch rear wheel setup, giving it good road presence and stability on rough terrain.
New 299cc Engine for Performance
Powering the Apache RTX 300 is a new 299cc, liquid-cooled RTX D4 engine. This motor produces 35bhp of power and 28.5Nm of peak torque. It is mated to a 6-speed gearbox that should offer smooth shifts both on highways and city roads.
The steel trellis frame is supported by USD front forks and a monoshock at the rear, ensuring a balance of comfort and control. Braking is handled by disc brakes at both ends, giving riders confidence across different terrains.
Features and Equipment
TVS is expected to load the RTX 300 with several premium features. These may include a colour TFT instrument console, multiple ride modes, traction control, and possibly turn-by-turn navigation through smartphone connectivity.
This makes the RTX 300 not just an adventure tourer, but also a feature-rich touring machine that appeals to modern riders.
Expected Pricing and Market Impact
The final pricing will play a big role in the RTX 300’s success. If TVS can price it aggressively between ₹2 lakh to ₹2.3 lakh (ex-showroom), it could shake up the segment and give strong competition to established rivals.
TVS has been known to offer strong value-for-money motorcycles, and this strategy may help the RTX 300 become a popular choice for touring and ADV enthusiasts.
Conclusion
The launch of the TVS Apache RTX 300 marks a major step for the company as it enters the adventure motorcycle market for the first time. With a new platform, powerful engine, loaded features, and a bold design, the RTX 300 is expected to attract a lot of attention from Indian riders.
If TVS manages to keep the pricing competitive, this bike could become a game changer in the mid-capacity adventure touring segment.
