TVS Motor Company has officially marked its entry into the adventure motorcycle market with the reveal of its highly anticipated Apache RTX 300 at the 2025 Bharat Mobility Expo. This unveiling introduces a new contender in the 300cc adventure touring segment, combining rugged design, cutting-edge features, and an all-new powertrain.
Adventure-Ready Design
The TVS Apache RTX 300 boasts a robust and road-focused touring design. With a tall windscreen, half-fairing, and a split LED headlight setup, the bike exudes a commanding presence that belies its compact 299cc engine. Its ergonomics and styling cater to adventure enthusiasts looking for comfort and practicality on long rides.
New RT-XD4 Engine
At the heart of the Apache RTX 300 lies the all-new 299cc liquid-cooled, single-cylinder RT-XD4 engine, which made its debut at MotoSoul 2024. Delivering 35PS of power and 28.5Nm of torque, the engine promises linear power delivery and improved low-end torque, ideal for the adventure-touring character.
The engine is paired with a 6-speed gearbox featuring a slip-and-assist clutch, ensuring smoother shifts and reduced rider fatigue.

Built on a trellis frame similar to the RR310 and RTR310, the bike offers a balance of agility and stability. It features long-travel suspension, with an inverted fork at the front and a preload-adjustable monoshock at the rear, designed to handle varied terrains.
The bike comes equipped with a 19-inch front and 17-inch rear alloy wheel setup, making it capable of light off-road duties. Disc brakes on both ends and dual-channel ABS ensure reliable stopping power and safety.
