So you’ve been waiting for a serious mid-size adventure bike that’s loaded with features and built for real riding? Well the TVS Apache RTX 300 is almost here. Reports suggest the launch is around August 2025 and spy shots, design patents and testing models all point to an imminent arrival.
This will be TVS’s biggest step into the sub-500cc ADV market and it’s coming in hot.
All New 299cc Engine for Serious Performance
Powering the Apache RTX 300 is a brand-new 299cc single-cylinder, liquid-cooled RTX D4 engine, developed in-house by TVS. It puts out 35 PS at 9,000 rpm and 28.5 Nm of torque at 7,000 rpm and comes with a 6-speed gearbox.
TVS is also expected to throw in a slipper clutch and a bi-directional quickshifter to make the riding smooth and confident across all conditions.
Adventure Focused Design That Stands Out
The Apache RTX 300’s design clearly leans into adventure. Based on patent images and test mule sightings, here’s what we can expect:
- Twin LED headlamps for ADV identity
- Tall touring windscreen
- Muscular, sculpted tank
- Comfort focused split seats
- Semi-fairing with clean tail section
- It rolls on alloy wheels – a 19-inch unit at the front and a 17-inch at the rear – wrapped in dual-purpose tyres for mixed-terrain use.
All of this is built on a trellis frame to balance strength, control and rider comfort. A more off-road ready version with spoke wheels is expected to follow.
Tech Forward Features to Match the Ride
The Apache RTX 300 is shaping up to be one of the most tech-loaded bikes in its class, offering features designed for both convenience and control.
- Full LED lighting
- A full-color TFT screen is expected, paired with TVS’s SmartXonnect system that supports navigation, call alerts, texts, and ride data tracking.
- Ride by wire throttle
- Multiple riding modes
- Cruise control for highway riding
- Switchable dual channel ABS
- Traction control
- USD front forks and rear monoshock for all terrain response All this is to make the bike suitable for city riding, weekend touring and mild trails.
Price, Rivals & Positioning
TVS is likely to position the Apache RTX 300 in the ₹2.60–2.90 lakh ex-showroom range, making it a direct rival to several popular adventure motorcycles in the market.
- Royal Enfield Himalayan 450
- KTM 250 Adventure
- BMW G 310 GS
- Hero Xpulse 421
- Suzuki V-Strom SX
With smart pricing and good spec TVS can attract new riders and seasoned tourers looking for value.
