After months of anticipation and leaks, TVS Motor Company has officially unveiled its first-ever adventure motorcycle, the Apache RTX 300, at the Bharat Mobility Expo 2025 in Delhi. This exciting launch marks TVS’s bold entry into the highly competitive adventure motorcycle segment.
Apache RTX 300 Powertrain and Performance
A 299cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine powers the Apache RTX 300. The motor delivers an impressive 34.5 bhp of peak power and 27 Nm of torque, positioning it as a strong contender. This engine is paired with a 6-speed gearbox featuring a slip-and-assist clutch, a setup borrowed from its siblings, the RTR 310 and RR 310.
While TVS has not confirmed it yet, the motorcycle may also come equipped with a quickshifter, further enhancing its performance and making it a delight for both touring and spirited riding.
Key Features and Design Highlights
The Apache RTX 300 is packed with features to meet the expectations of modern adventure riders.

Visual and Practical Design
The Apache RTX 300 stands out with its rugged design. It features a sharp beak-like front fender and a large windscreen, ensuring rider comfort and wind protection during long rides. The bike’s tall stance and aggressive bodywork make it appear larger and more imposing than a 300cc motorcycle.
The RTX 300 is also showcased with detachable panniers, adding to its touring capability and practicality. Whether on a weekend road trip or a cross-country adventure, the bike is designed to carry gear effortlessly.
Competitors
The launch of the Apache RTX 300 puts TVS in direct competition with well-established adventure motorcycles such as the KTM Adventure 390 and the Royal Enfield Himalayan.
The RTX 300 caters to riders who want a versatile adventure bike that balances touring comfort with a focus on-road performance. Unlike hardcore off-roaders, its alloy wheels and road-friendly design make it a solid choice for long-distance highway cruising and light trail riding.
Conclusion
The TVS Apache RTX 300 launch is a significant milestone for the company as it ventures into the thriving adventure motorcycle segment. With its combination of performance, features, and practicality, the RTX 300 has the potential to disrupt the market and emerge as a popular choice among adventure riders.
