TVS Motor Company, a leader in the global two-wheeler and three-wheeler industry, has once again set the bar higher with the launch of its latest flagship model, the TVS Apache RR 310. This new variant represents the pinnacle of TVS’s commitment to high-performance and technologically advanced motorcycles in the super-premium sports category.
The TVS Apache RR 310, inspired by over four decades of TVS Racing heritage, is a motorcycle built with precision, agility, and speed in mind. Its origins are deeply rooted in TVS’s racing pedigree, and the new model is an evolution of the machine that shattered records at the Asia Road Racing Championship (ARRC), clocking an incredible best lap time of 1:49.742 seconds and a top speed of 215.9 km/h. This motorcycle is not just a machine; it is an embodiment of TVS’s racing DNA and engineering prowess.
Performance Upgrades: 38 PS Power and Advanced Features
The all-new TVS Apache RR 310 now boasts a significant 11% increase in performance, delivering 38 PS of power at 9800 rpm and a peak torque of 29Nm at 7900 rpm. This performance boost is complemented by a range of cutting-edge features designed to enhance the rider’s experience and control. Among these new additions is the Bi-directional QuickShifter, a technology that ensures smooth, precise shifts and boosts the bike’s racing credentials.
The motorcycle’s performance has been further refined through modifications to the air intake system, which has increased volumetric efficiency. This, combined with a lightweight aluminum forged piston, enables the engine to rev more freely, maximizing power delivery. The 4 riding modes—Track, Sport, Urban, and Rain—offer riders the flexibility to optimize performance based on their riding conditions.
Aerodynamic Design: Crafted for Stability and Speed
The TVS Apache RR 310 is built for speed and control, with its aerodynamic winglets being a standout feature. These winglets are specifically designed to generate 3 kg of downforce, which helps to keep the front tire firmly on the road, ensuring maximum stability and control during high-speed maneuvers. This design improves not only the bike’s straight-line stability but also its agility during cornering, making it an ideal choice for both track and street racing enthusiasts.
Segment-First Technologies: A Leap Ahead in Innovation
TVS has packed the Apache RR 310 with segment-first technologies that set it apart from its competitors. These include:
- RT-DSC (Race Tuned Dynamic Stability Control): This system, paired with a 6D IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit), provides an array of safety features like Cornering ABS, Cornering Traction Control, Wheelie Control, Slope Dependent Control, and Rear Lift-off Control. These features ensure that the rider has complete control over the motorcycle, even in the most challenging riding conditions.
- Cruise Control: A first in its segment, the TVS Apache RR 310 is equipped with Cornering Cruise Control, which adjusts the cruising speed based on the motorcycle’s lean angle. This feature enhances rider comfort, especially during long-distance rides.
- Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS): Real-time monitoring of tire pressure ensures optimal performance and safety. This is an essential feature for riders looking to maximize their bike’s performance on the road or track.
- Transparent Clutch Cover: Adding both style and functionality, the transparent clutch cover is another segment-first feature, giving the motorcycle a unique, high-performance aesthetic.
Customization Options: Built To Order (BTO)
TVS has introduced a range of Built To Order (BTO) customization options for the Apache RR 310, offering riders the opportunity to tailor the motorcycle to their specific preferences. The BTO platform, which was first introduced in 2021, allows customers to choose from two customization kits:
- Dynamic Kit: This kit includes fully adjustable suspension with preload, compression, and rebound damping on the front suspension, and preload and rebound damping on the rear monoshock. It also comes with a Brass Coated Drive Chain and TPMS, enhancing both performance and durability.
- Dynamic Pro Kit: In addition to the features of the Dynamic Kit, the Dynamic Pro Kit introduces advanced safety features such as the Race Tuned Dynamic Stability Control.
Furthermore, the BTO platform offers a Race Replica Colour Option, allowing riders to personalize their Apache RR 310 with the iconic racing livery and their favorite race number.
