Global and India Launch Timeline

The Apache RTX 300 will probably make its worldwide debut at the EICMA 2025, which is set for next month, while a precise launch date has not yet been established. It will be followed by its India premiere, which is anticipated to happen at the brand’s MotoSoul 5.0 event in early December. Although nothing is certain at this time, the market debut is probably set for around the same time.

Official Debut and Expo Presence

With the Apache RTX 300, the Indian two-wheeler company is prepared to enter the adventure cycle market following the successful debuts of its Ntorq 150 and Orbiter EV. At the 2025 Bharat Mobility Expo earlier this year, the company formally debuted its first ADV.

Features and Equipment

In terms of features, the package will include a 5-inch TFT display with smartphone connectivity, turn-by-turn navigation, and call/SMS notifications. Additionally, the RTX 300 will have traction control, cruise control, cornering ABS, riding modes, and switchable rear ABS.

Platform and Chassis Details

Based on the same steel trellis frame as the Apache RR 310 and RTR 310, the RTX 300 shares these components. This suggests a more road-oriented ADV’s gear. A rear mono-shock and a set of long-travel USD forks at the front will support it. With block-pattern tires, the ADV will be mounted on a 17-inch rear wheel and a 19-inch front wheel.

Expected Price and Rivals

We anticipate that the ex-showroom price of the Apache RTX 300 will be approximately Rs. 2.5 lakh. When the adventure bike is released, it will compete with the Royal Enfield Himalayan 450, BMW G 310 GS, KTM 390 Adventure X, and Yezdi Adventure, among other models.

Engine and Performance

The new RT-XD4 299cc single-cylinder liquid-cooled engine, which produces 35 PS and 28.5 Nm of peak torque, will power the first TVS adventure bike type. A 6-speed gearbox with a slip and assist clutch is linked to the engine.

As it enters the rapidly expanding adventure motorcycle market, TVS Motor Company will reach a major milestone with the upcoming TVS Apache RTX 300. For Indian riders looking for a mid-range ADV, it promises to provide a high-value experience with premium features like cruise control, cornering ABS, and a TFT panel. The RTX 300 might revolutionise the market and become a strong competitor to well-known models like the Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 and KTM 390 Adventure if it is priced reasonably at about Rs. 2.5 lakh.
