True Adventure Tourer Design
The TVS Apache RTX 300 is more of a touring style adventure motorcycle. This bike was first & initially revealed at the 2025 Bharat Mobility Global Expo, which was a VIP event of sorts for selective guests, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The public did not get to see the bike at that time, but it is officially about to be launched! The images and information that were leaked indicated that the RTX 300 was a planned touring-purpose bike. The smart features include an all-windscreen, twin LED headlamps, and split seat, all are featured on the bike, very much like an ADV motorcycle. It also displays a bare metallic trellis frame at the rear and split grab rails which create a rugged and modern appearance.
The golden USD front forks, 19-inch front and 17-inch rear wheels, and monoshock rear suspension are the best choices for smooth highway cruising and for light off-road. Not being a hardcore dirt bike like Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 or KTM 390 Adventure, it does provide enough versatility for Indian roads and weekend trails.
Loaded With Contemporary Features
TVS has provided RTX 300 with an array of features that are common in the premium bikes today. Among the modern features that have come up are:
- All-LED lighting setup (headlamp, turn indicators, and tail-lamp)
- Multiple ride modes for different terrains
- Switchable dual-channel ABS for better control
- Ride-by-wire throttle
- Traction control system
- Quickshifter (expected, though not officially confirmed)
- Hazard light switch
- Fully digital TFT instrument cluster
- Bluetooth connectivity via TVS SmartXonnect app
Not only do these characteristics increase safety and control, but they also provide a rider with luxury experience. Bluetooth connectivity will most likely allow riders to see navigation, call alerts, ride stats, and more – all from the instrument panel.
TVS Built Powerful New Engine
TVS has developed a complete new engine for this new model of its, the Apache RTX 300. Engine is a single-cylinder with a liquid-cooled unit and has the capacity of 299cc. This is a big step for TVS. Especially as their existing TVS Apache RR 310 uses BMW Motorrad co-developed 310cc engine. The new engine is called RT-XD4, and it was unveiled at the 2024 MotoSoul festival in Goa. With this engine, TVS has effectively closed the chapter on high and smart performance engine development.
Target Rivals in the Segment
TVS has launched a new ADV bike, and this is the reason it will be one of the strongest contenders in the entry-level adventure touring segment. The main rivals are listed below:
- KTM 250 Adventure
- Suzuki V-Strom SX
- Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 (for a bit more expensive buyers)
The motorcycles in this category which also include a very-well known KTM 390 Adventure,and Himalayan, present themselves as adventure motorcycles for off-road use. The RTX 300 has been constructed with comfort and style in mind, along with light adventure capabilities. It will be used as a good option for riders who want a capable touring motorcycle, well-equipped to handle twisting roads.
