TVS Apache RTR 310: A Naked Bike Ahead of Its Time


Based on the philosophy of “form meets function”, TVS Apache RTR 310 strikes a perfect balance between aesthetics and performance. This naked bike from TVS Motor reflects 40 years of racing heritage that forms the essence of every Apache. Engineered with precision, the TVS Apache RTR 310 is the ultimate form of expression that lets you perform your way.

Design Philosophy

The Freestyler comes with a cyborg-inspired design and a forward weight bias that adds to its menacing look. In terms of the front profile, it gets an imposing gaze thanks to the Dynamic Twin LED Head Lamp and a small Tri-color badging on the left, representing the naked bike’s Indian origin. The bike gets an upright handlebar, making the rider sit in an engaging posture without compromising comfort. On the side, the sculpted fuel tank sits above the engine cowl which strongly contributes to the bike’s streetfighter appeal.



The rear section is designed in a step-split seat layout with a TVS Racing emblem in the middle of the pillion seat. The number plate and indicators are placed down on the tyre hugger and the forward-biased stance makes the rear section appear clean and minimalistic. Also, the twin strip tail lamp adapts to the intensity of braking and flashes red during rapid deceleration to warn those behind.

The mid-section is taken up by the spine of this Freestyler - the lightweight aluminium sub-frame that is designed to provide ease of manoeuvrability and excellent dynamic response at higher speeds.

Freestyle Ergonomics

Proudly made in India, this naked bike offers excellent riding ergonomics. It has a wide and tall handlebar that’s designed to give the rider precise control and feedback. Also, the riding triangle is optimized for enhanced load distribution on the shoulder and good lower back comfort.

The suspension duties are taken care of by the Monoshock and monotube floating piston technology which comes integrated with a hydraulic stopper and check valve, honed and tuned by the experts from KYB. The calibration of the suspension provides precise damping and smooth dynamic response to achieve class-leading acceleration.

Riders with normal height or even shorter riders will find themselves at ease to adapt to this naked bike as the 800 mm seat height is another positive element that the Freestyler possesses. Also, the foot pegs have been placed ergonomically, leaving enough room to lean while cornering. To take riding comfort up a notch in different weather conditions, TVS Motor has integrated climate-controlled seats with three levels of heating and cooling.

Power to Play, Power to Race

TVS Apache RTR 310 is more than a performance bike; it is your gateway into the world of freestyler. The reverse-inclined DOHC engine gets forged aluminium pistons that are 5% lighter. Over the years, TVS Motor has constantly improved the drivetrain, both for refinement and emission compliance. The engine now produces 35.6 PS @9700 rpm of peak power and 28.7 Nm @6650 rpm of peak torque.

The Apache RTR 310 is among the most fun-to-ride naked bikes in India today. The 312cc engine is peppy in nature with a wide torque band, offering a smooth throttle response and the best-in-class power-to-weight ratio.

Adding flair to the freestyler is the SuperMoto mode in the TVS Apache RTR 310 which disengages the rear ABS while maximizing the power output, a perfect combination for a flying launch and to keep you drifting with style.

The ride modes alter the engine power delivery. The urban mode focuses on strong low-to-mid range for quick burst of acceleration, Rain mode limits the engine rpm with a stronger ABS response and RLP working in sync and capping the maximum speed to 120km/h. while, the sport mode lets you unleash the full potential of 312cc with ECU enabling smooth deceleration for optimized engine braking.
