TVS Apache RTX 300: TVS’s Bold Entry into the Adventure Bike Segment
TVS Motor Company is gearing up to make a statement in the adventure-tourer world with its new Apache RTX 300. After months of speculation, spy shots, and patent filings, the RTX 300 is expected to break cover on 15 October 2025.
With this bike, TVS leaves its comfort zone of street and sport bikes to enter the rapidly growing mid-size ADV (adventure) segment. Let’s dig deep into what we know so far — from its engine and design to pricing and rivals.
Design & Styling — Rugged Looks, Modern Presence
From leaked images and patent filings, the RTX 300 shows a design language that blends boldness and functionality.
• It sports a semi-fairing with a tall windscreen to shield riders from wind at high speeds.
• The front gets a beak-style fender — a staple of adventure-touring bikes — adding an aggressive touch.
• The bodywork is muscular, with sculpted fuel tank and split seats to balance touring comfort with sportiness.
• It rides on 19-inch front and 17-inch rear alloy wheels, suggesting it’s more road-biased than hardcore off-road.
• The chassis likely uses a steel trellis frame with a detachable sub-frame to manage loads and flexibility for variants.
Overall, the styling cues point to a bike built for long distances and versatile terrain — leaning more toward touring with occasional off-road use.
Engine & Performance — What’s Under the Hood
One of the most awaited details is the powertrain, and reports suggest TVS has built something new rather than reusing existing engines.
• The RTX 300 is expected to be powered by a 299 cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine, often referred to as the RT-XD4 / RTX D4 unit.
• Peak output is likely around 35 PS (≈ 34.5 horsepower) at 9,000 rpm and 28.5 Nm of torque at 7,000 rpm.
• The engine is paired with a 6-speed transmission with a slip-assist (slipper) clutch for smoother downshifts and control.
• To make the ride safer and smarter, features like ride-by-wire throttle, multiple riding modes, traction control, and switchable dual-channel ABS are expected.
• LED lighting, a TFT instrument cluster with smartphone connectivity (map mirroring), and cruise control are also on the list of anticipated features.
As for performance, while an official top speed figure hasn’t been confirmed, industry expectations place it in the 140–145 km/h range, making it competitive among 300-class ADV bikes.
Launch, Price & Variants — What to Expect
Launch Date
TVS is reportedly going to unveil the Apache RTX 300 on 15 October 2025. This date is based on spy reports and patent timelines suggesting that TVS wants to make a splash in the festive season.
Pricing
The introductory ex-showroom price in Delhi is currently pegged between ₹1,99,000 and ₹2,34,000, varying with specification levels.
Some other estimates (in media and rumor mills) suggest a broader range of ₹2.40 lakh to ₹2.50 lakh, especially for fully loaded variants.
Variants
The RTX 300 will arrive in three variants: Base, Top, and BTO (Built to Order). Each variant adds more advanced features.
• The Base will still have cruise control, traction control, and multiple modes.

Rivals & Market Position — Where It Fits In
The RTX 300 enters a crowded field of adventure bikes, but its positioning gives it some advantages.
Main Rivals:
• KTM 250 Adventure — lighter but less powerful, making RTX 300 more attractive in performance.
• Yezdi Adventure — close in spirit, but the RTX may edge ahead in technology and features.
• Suzuki V-Strom SX — weaker in power, giving TVS room to claim dominance in the 300cc range.
• Royal Enfield Himalayan (450) — more off-road capable due to bigger motor and spoke wheels, but heavier and costlier to maintain.
Final Thoughts — Is the RTX 300 Worth Watching?
The TVS Apache RTX 300 is shaping up to be a smart and bold bet by TVS in the adventure-bike space. From leaked specs, it promises a healthy mix of power (35 PS), modern electronics, and visual appeal — all at a competitive price. If TVS executes well in quality control, service network, and real-world reliability, this bike could become a favorite among touring and style-conscious riders.
