The buzz surrounding the TVS Apache RTX 300 has reached a crescendo, with its official launch now anticipated between June and August 2025, just in time for the festive season. Bookings for this highly-anticipated motorcycle are expected to commence shortly across major metro cities in India. Manufactured by TVS Motor Company, the Apache RTX 300 is set to redefine the adventure touring segment, blending performance with cutting-edge technology.
The Heart of the Beast: All-New RTX D4 Engine
At the core of the Apache RTX 300 lies an all-new 299cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine, aptly named the RTX D4. This powerhouse, developed entirely in-house by TVS, promises robust performance. The engine was notably unveiled at the MotoSoul 2024 event, where its impressive specifications were confirmed. It is engineered to deliver a strong 35 horsepower (35 PS) at 9,000 rpm, coupled with a peak torque of 28.5 Nm at 7,000 rpm. Power will be managed by a smooth six-speed manual gearbox, further enhanced by an assist and slipper clutch for seamless gear transitions, making both city commutes and highway rides an absolute pleasure.
Designed for Adventure and Comfort
The TVS Apache RTX 300 boasts a lightweight trellis frame, promising agile handling and enhanced stability. Complementing this robust chassis are golden upside-down (USD) front forks, which not only contribute to the bike’s sporty aesthetics but also ensure superior road holding and durability. The motorcycle rides on 19-inch alloy wheels at the front and 17-inch alloys at the rear, fitted with road-biased tyres. This setup is specifically chosen to cater to comfortable highway cruising while also offering competence for light trail riding. The suspension system, comprising USD forks at the front and a monoshock at the rear, has been meticulously tuned to prioritise touring comfort over hardcore off-roading capabilities, making it an ideal companion for long journeys.

Packed with Segment-First Technology
TVS has equipped the Apache RTX 300 with an array of advanced features that aim to set new benchmarks in its segment. Riders can expect a vibrant colour TFT digital instrument cluster, complete with Bluetooth connectivity and turn-by-turn navigation, ensuring you stay connected and on track. Furthermore, the RTX 300 is poised to offer segment-first features such as a ride-by-wire throttle, enabling multiple riding modes to adapt to various conditions. Safety is paramount with switchable dual-channel ABS and traction control. For added convenience, cruise control and possibly a quick shifter are also anticipated. All lighting elements on the bike will utilise modern LED technology, enhancing visibility and giving it a premium look. This technological push is consistent with TVS’s recent offerings, as seen with the 2025 Apache RTR 310, which introduced features like sequential turn signal lamps, launch control, and keyless ignition, underscoring the company’s commitment to advanced motorcycle development.
Pricing, Competition, and Future Outlook
The TVS Apache RTX 300 is expected to be competitively priced, with an international ex-showroom price range estimated between ₹2.6 lakh and ₹2.9 lakh. This strategic pricing positions it directly against formidable rivals in the adventure touring segment, including the KTM 390 Adventure, KTM 250 Adventure, BMW G 310 GS, and the Royal Enfield Himalayan 450. TVS is clearly aiming to carve out a significant share in this growing market segment.
Looking ahead, TVS Motor Company has ambitious plans for 2025-26. While the Apache RTX 300 gears up for its August 2025 debut, an off-road oriented variant, featuring 21/17-inch spoke wheels, is also under development and is expected to launch later in 2025. Additionally, the company has several other product launches lined up:
- Jupiter CNG: October 2025
- Jupiter Electric: October 2025
- XL EV: December 2025
- RTS X: August 2026 (a possible higher-spec or dedicated off-road variant of the RTX)
- Raider 125 Flex-Fuel: October 2026
The imminent arrival of the TVS Apache RTX 300 marks a significant step for TVS, solidifying its presence in the premium motorcycle segment with a machine designed for modern adventurers. Its blend of power, comfort, and advanced features positions it as a strong contender, ready to challenge established players and capture the imagination of Indian riders.
