TVS Apache RTR 310 — Overview

The TVS Apache RTR 310 is a street bike available at a price range of Rs. 2,24,538 - Rs. 2,89,987 in India. It comes in 4 variants and 4 colours. It is powered by a 312.12 cc BS6 Phase 2B engine and has a user reported mileage of 32 kmpl. With both front and rear disc brakes, the TVS Apache RTR 310 comes with anti-locking braking system. The Apache RTR 310 bike weighs 169 kg and has a fuel tank capacity of 11 liters. It develops a power output of 35.08 bhp and a torque of 28.7 Nm.

India's first production motorcycle with keyless ignition starts at Rs 2.25 Lakh - and that's just the headline. The 2025 TVS Apache RTR 310 packs launch control, cornering ABS, drag torque control, a bi-directional quickshifter, and a 5-inch TFT cluster into a 312 cc naked that undercuts the KTM 390 Duke by nearly Rs 75,000. TVS overhauled the engine for 2025 to fix the RTR 310's long-standing vibration problem, added four new colours, and reworked the electronics suite. The result is a machine that genuinely punches above its price bracket - though heat in bumper-to-bumper traffic and a firm seat are trade-offs you should know about before signing the papers.

TVS Apache RTR 310 Latest Updates

View all

  • TVS Racing has completed selections for the 2026 Apache RTR 310 One Make Championship, continuing the model's dedicated track programme for the new season.

  • TVS revised Apache RTR 310 prices following a GST rate reduction from 28% to 18% - the base variant dropped from Rs 2,40,000 to Rs 2,21,000 ex-showroom, with savings ranging from Rs 18,750 to Rs 24,860 across variants.

What We Like

  • Best-in-segment tech for the money - keyless ignition, launch control, cornering TCS, cornering ABS, and a 5-inch TFT cluster with multi-language support
  • 2025 engine remap meaningfully reduces the vibration buzz that plagued earlier models at highway cruising speeds
  • Upright, neutral ergonomics handle Mumbai traffic and weekend highway runs equally well
  • Outstanding build quality - owners consistently report zero rattles or loose panels even after 10+ months of daily use

What Could Be Better

  • Engine and radiator throw noticeable heat onto the rider's legs in slow city traffic, especially in summer
  • Seat is on the harder side and pillion comfort is genuinely poor - not the bike to pick if two-up riding matters to you
  • Exhaust note is flat and drone-like until 7,000 rpm - don't expect the soundtrack to match the performance

Editor's Verdict

Should You Buy the TVS Apache RTR 310?

The 2025 TVS Apache RTR 310 makes a compelling case for anyone who wants maximum technology in a sub-Rs 3 Lakh naked. The fixed vibration problem and new electronics suite transform it from a capable-but-flawed bike into a properly rounded package. Just be honest with yourself: if you need touring comfort, a soft seat, or a willing pillion, look elsewhere - but for a solo daily rider who wants the most bike per rupee, this is one of the strongest answers in the market right now.

QDoes the TVS Apache RTR 310 have keyless ignition?▾
Yes - the 2025 TVS Apache RTR 310 is the first Indian-made production motorcycle to feature keyless ignition as standard across all variants. You unlock and start the bike using the key fob, with no need to physically insert a key.
QWhat riding modes does the TVS Apache RTR 310 offer?▾
The TVS Apache RTR 310 offers five riding modes: Rain, Urban, Sport, Race, and Supermoto. Each mode adjusts throttle response, traction control sensitivity, and ABS intervention. Supermoto mode allows rear-wheel slip for cornering - a feature unique at this price point.
QWhat is the EMI for the TVS Apache RTR 310 base variant?▾
At a 10% annual interest rate with a Rs 64,000 down payment, the EMI for the TVS Apache RTR 310 base variant is approximately Rs 6,100 per month over 36 months. With a smaller Rs 13,278 down payment, the monthly EMI rises to about Rs 9,110.
QWhat is the service cost and interval for the TVS Apache RTR 310?▾
The first service is free, due at 1,000 km or one month. Subsequent services are every 6,000 km or six months, typically costing Rs 2,000-3,500 at authorised TVS service centres. Major services including chain, filter, and coolant run Rs 4,000-5,500.
QIs the TVS Apache RTR 310 suitable for long-distance touring?▾
The RTR 310 can handle highway touring thanks to upright ergonomics, cruise control, and an 11-litre tank giving roughly 350 km range. However, the firm seat causes discomfort beyond 150-200 km, and pillion comfort is poor - it works well for solo touring but is not ideal for two-up long-distance riding.
