After a long wait, TVS will likely enter the adventure bike segment this year with the launch of the Apache RTX 300
The ADV motorcycle segment in India is growing at a rapid pace, and we have seen the launch of multiple new models in the past few years. Banking on this trend, TVS Motor Company will also foray into the highly popular ADV segment with its first-ever adventure motorcycle.
After two consecutive new product launches, the Ntorq 150 and Orbiter EV, the Indian two-wheeler manufacturer is ready to take on the adventure bike segment with the Apache RTX 300. The brand’s first ADV was officially unveiled earlier this year at the 2025 Bharat Mobility Expo.
While a definitive launch is yet to be confirmed, the Apache RTX 300 will likely make its global debut at the EICMA 2025, which is scheduled for next month. It will be followed by its India debut, expected to take place in early December at the brand’s MotoSoul 5.0 event. The market launch is likely to be scheduled around the same timeline, however, nothing can be confirmed as of now.

The RTX 300 is based on the steel trellis frame, sharing its underpinnings with the Apache RR 310 and RTR 310. This hints at a more road-focused ADV in terms of hardware. It will be suspended by a set of long-travel USD forks at the front and a rear mono-shock. The ADV will ride on a 19-inch front and a 17-inch rear wheel, shod with block-pattern tyres.
Talking about features, a 5-inch TFT display with smartphone connectivity, turn-by-turn navigation, and call/SMS alerts will be a part of the package. Moreover, the RTX 300 will also come with riding modes, switchable rear ABS, traction control, cruise control and cornering ABS.

The upcoming TVS’ adventure bike will be the first model to be powered by the new RT-XD4 299cc single-cylinder liquid-cooled engine, putting out 35 PS and 28.5 Nm of peak torque. The engine is mated to a 6-speed gearbox with a slip and assist clutch.
We expect the Apache RTX 300 to be priced at around Rs. 2.5 lakh (ex-showroom). Once launched, the adventure bike will go up against the likes of KTM 390 Adventure X, BMW G 310 GS, Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 and Yezdi Adventure, amongst others.
