India’s well-known two wheeler company TVS Motor has finally launched its first adventure bike Apache RTX 300. This bike will be available at a starting price of Rs 1.99 lakh (ex-showroom). The company claims that this model is a great combination of both adventure and comfort. It will now compete directly with bikes like Royal Enfield Scram 440, KTM 250 Adventure and Yezdi Adventure. Let’s take a look at its features.
Engine and Performance
- The new TVS Apache RTX 300 is built on the company’s new RT-XD4 engine platform. This platform provides a balance of both race-like performance and comfort during long rides. The bike has a 299.1cc single-cylinder, liquid-cooled DOHC engine, which generates 36PS of power at 9,000 rpm and 28.5Nm of torque at 7,000 rpm.
- This engine is equipped with 6-speed gearbox and assist-and-slipper clutch. The special thing is that the rider gets four ride modes – Urban, Rain, Tour and Rally. With this, the performance of the bike can be adjusted according to the road and weather.
Excellent control in handling and suspension
- Apache RTX 300 has an inverted cartridge fork (front) and mono-tube floating piston (rear) suspension to improve handling. The lightweight steel trellis frame of the bike makes it strong and balanced. Due to low seat height and better power-to-weight ratio, this bike gives smooth handling on all types of roads – from city roads to rough mountain roads.
Rally style seen in the design
- In terms of design, Apache RTX 300 is a completely rally-inspired bike. It has I-shaped LED headlamps, LED indicators, muscular fuel tank, transparent windscreen and beak-style front. The company has launched it in 5 color options – Pearl White, Viper Green, Lighting Black, Metallic Blue and Tarn Bronze. The brilliant combination of matte and glossy textures in every color and the Apache’s red signature highlight gives it a premium and sporty look.
How are the features?
- In terms of features, TVS has taken this bike to a new level of technology. It has a full-color TFT display which is equipped with smart features like call and SMS alerts, GoPro control and map mirroring. For safety and control, the bike has been provided with traction control (two modes), ABS modes (Rally, Urban, Rain), tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) and cruise control. Due to all these features, it becomes the most advanced and feature-rich adventure bike in its segment.
