TVS Motor Company unveils the 2025 Apache RTR 310 with fresh features and bold styling, setting a new benchmark in the naked sports bike segment.
TVS Motor Company launched the 2025 TVS Apache RTR 310 in India with at an introductory price of Rs 2.40 lakh (ex-showroom). This update, the first since its 2023 debut, brings refreshed styling and advanced tech to the naked sports bike segment.
With prices ranging from Rs 2.39,990 to Rs 2.85,000 across five variants, the TVS Apache RTR 310 aims to dominate its class. But what makes this streetfighter stand out, and how does it fare against competitors? Let’s dive in.
What’s New in the 2025 Model?
The 2025 TVS Apache RTR 310 introduces striking updates. Three new color options—Arsenal Black, Fiery Red, and Fury Yellow—paired with restyled graphics give it a bold look.
Knuckle guards are now standard across all variants, enhancing rider safety. The bike features a Gen-2 digital instrument cluster with a multi-language UI, offering riders a wealth of information. Sequential Turn Signal Lamps (TSL) add a premium touch, while the base variant now includes a 43 mm USD front suspension for improved handling.
The Dynamic Pro Kit, available in higher variants, adds launch control, keyless ride, and cornering drag torque control. However, the ventilated rider seat, a feature from the previous model, has been dropped due to challenges with India’s climate. These changes make the TVS Apache RTR 310 a tech-forward choice. But how do these upgrades impact the ride?
Performance and Competition
The TVS Apache RTR 310 retains its 312.2cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine, now updated to OBD-2B emission standards for real-time monitoring. It delivers 35.6 PS at 9,700 rpm and 28.7 Nm at 6,650 rpm in Track, Sport, and SuperMoto modes, while Urban and Rain modes offer 27.1 PS and 27.3 Nm.
A 6-speed gearbox with a bi-directional quickshifter (except in the base variant) ensures smooth shifts. The bike rides on a trellis frame with Michelin Road 5 tyres, offering excellent grip.
Against rivals like the KTM 390 Duke, which boasts higher displacement and power, the TVS Apache RTR 310 counters with superior tech, including cruise control and five ride modes. The Zontes 350R, priced at Rs 2.79 lakh, offers slightly better mileage but lacks the same feature depth. Can the TVS Apache RTR 310’s tech edge outweigh the raw power of its competitors? Riders will decide.
The 2025 TVS Apache RTR 310 blends style, safety, and performance, making it a compelling choice for enthusiasts.
Its introductory pricing keeps it competitive, while the advanced features set a new standard. As urban riders seek versatile, tech-packed bikes, this streetfighter could redefine expectations in India’s two-wheeler market.
