TVS Apache RTR 310
TVS's most track-focused naked yet, priced like it too
In short
The Apache RTR 310 is TVS's newest naked sports bike, a liquid-cooled 312cc single making about 35bhp with traction control and a colour TFT dash standard, priced from ₹2.25 lakh. It undercuts the RR 310 on paper by dropping the fairing, but claimed efficiency of 30kmpl and matching real-world figures make it one of the thirstier bikes in its class.

Price and variants
Ex-showroom Delhi. On-road estimate for Delhi; other cities on the price page.
Ex-showroom Delhi, the Apache RTR 310 range runs from ₹2,25,283 (Arsenal Black Base without QuickShifter) to ₹2,89,987 (Anniversary Special Edition) across 4 variants.
That makes it priced 56th lowest among the 75 sports bikes we have reviewed. Its closest price rivals are the Scram 440 (₹910 less) and the 250 Duke (₹994 more).
On the road in Delhi, budget about ₹2.56 Lakh for the base variant once 8% Delhi road tax, registration and five-year third-party insurance are added. Dealers often quote higher by bundling accessories, extended warranty and handling charges; all three are negotiable.
| Variant | Ex-showroom | Rough EMI |
|---|---|---|
Arsenal Black Base without QuickShifter | ₹2,25,283 | |
Arsenal Black and Fury Yellow Base | ₹2,42,459 | |
Fiery Red Base | ₹2,47,031 | |
Anniversary Special Edition | ₹2,89,987 |
Mileage
Apache RTR 310's claimed mileage is 30 kmpl, and unusually, owners and our own riding land right on it: expect 30–30 kmpl in everyday use. Few bikes get this close to their brochure figure.
Among the 67 sports bikes we have reviewed it ranks 56th for mileage, 12 kmpl below the group average of 42 kmpl.
Engine and ride
Power comes from a 312cc single producing 35.08 bhp and 28.7 Nm, paired with a 6 Speed. At 169 kg the power-to-weight figure is 208 bhp per tonne, which ranks 19 of 73 in its class here.
Peak power is high relative to torque, so this engine rewards revs: it feels ordinary below the mid-range and comes alive above it.
Chassis hardware includes USD front forks, a rear monoshock, single-channel ABS, a slipper clutch and traction control, with a disc, 300 mm, 4 piston caliper up front and disc, 240 mm, 1 piston caliper at the rear.
At 800 mm the seat is average for the class; most riders from 5'5" up will be comfortable at stops.
Our review
Riding impressions and the buying advice a spec sheet cannot give.
Verdict
The Apache RTR 310 is TVS's newest and most powerful naked, a 312cc liquid-cooled single making about 35bhp, wrapped in a spec sheet that includes traction control, a colour TFT, USD forks and an optional quickshifter, starting at roughly ₹2.25 lakh. It is a genuinely modern motorcycle, but the equipment list comes with a real running-cost penalty.
Riding it every day
Power builds strongly through the midrange and the 6-speed gearbox shifts cleanly, making it satisfying on open highway stretches and twisty roads alike. In city traffic, the 169kg kerb weight and firm suspension are noticeable; it is not unmanageable, but it asks more of the rider than a 150-160cc commuter would at every traffic light. The 300mm front disc and dual-channel switchable ABS inspire confidence when braking hard from speed, and the TFT dash with navigation is genuinely useful on unfamiliar routes.
What to know before buying
Claimed mileage of 30kmpl is matched almost exactly by real-world reports, which is refreshingly honest, but it does mean fuel costs will run higher than a typical commuter. The 2-year, 30,000km warranty and 5,000km service intervals reflect the sportier positioning and add to long-term costs; extended warranty is worth considering. TVS's service network covers most towns, which matters more here than for a boutique European rival.
Who should buy it
This is for a rider who already knows their way around a naked sports bike and wants the newest, most feature-rich option in the 300cc bracket. It is not the right first bike, and anyone prioritising fuel economy or a longer standard warranty should look elsewhere in this price range.
Features and colours

- USD front forks
- Rear monoshock
- +12 more
On safety kit the Apache RTR 310 has single-channel abs, front disc brake, rear disc brake, tubeless tyres, traction control, side-stand engine cut-off and hazard lamps. ABS acts on the front wheel only; the rear can still lock under a hard stamp.
Against 250 Duke, Apache RR 310 or 390 Duke, it gets single-channel abs and projector headlamp that most rivals skip.
What it lacks: dual-channel abs, which rivals at this price offer. The safety items in that list matter more than the console.
It is offered in 4 colours: Arsenal Black, Fury yellow, Black Champagne Gold Livery and Fiery Red. Colour availability varies by variant and dealer stock.
Warranty, service and ownership
Standard warranty is 2 years or 30,000 km. After the free services, the recommended interval is every 5,000 km.
Service reach is good: TVS has about 4,500 dealer and workshop touchpoints across the country.
The Apache RTR 310 launched in 2025, so long-term reliability and resale data are still thin. That is not a mark against it, just a reason to prefer the standard warranty and keep service records.

- What is the EMI for the Apache RTR 310?

- Apache RTR 310 or 250 Duke: which is better?
- The 250 Duke is ₹994 more expensive to start and more efficient at 31 kmpl against 30 kmpl. Pick the Apache RTR 310 for naked sports enthusiasts, the 250 Duke for first big bike. Our side-by-side comparison covers every spec.
- Which bikes are cheaper than the Apache RTR 310?
- Among the 75 sports bikes we have reviewed, the Pulsar 125 (₹93,507), the MT-15 V2 (₹1.68 Lakh), the Pulsar NS 200 (₹1.39 Lakh) start lower.
- Is the RTR 310 too much bike for daily commuting?
- It can be ridden daily, but 169kg of kerb weight and a firm, sporty suspension setup make it more tiring in heavy traffic than a naked commuter half its price. It is happiest on open roads with occasional city use rather than as a pure daily hack.
- How does it compare to the KTM 250 Duke and Yamaha R2 nearby in price?
- The RTR 310 offers more displacement, power and equipment like traction control and a quickshifter option than either rival, but real-world mileage and the 2-year warranty are both weaker points. Choose it for the spec sheet and TVS's wide service network; choose a rival if outright running costs matter more.
