TVS Motor Company has officially launched the 2025 TVS Apache RR 310 in India, a premium supersport motorcycle that has carved a niche for itself among biking enthusiasts since its debut. With the 2025 model, TVS introduces a series of crucial updates aimed at elevating rider experience, aesthetics, and overall performance. The launch reaffirms TVS’s commitment to blending race-derived DNA with cutting-edge technology in the premium motorcycle segment.
Here’s a deep dive into all that’s new with the 2025 Apache RR 310.
Design and Aesthetic Upgrades
The 2025 Apache RR 310 gets a fresh design update that enhances its aggressive and aerodynamic appeal. The most noticeable changes include:
- New Color Schemes: TVS introduces two new bold color options — Racing Red 2.0 and Phantom Black Matte — both with contrasting graphics to accentuate the racing feel.
- Updated Fairing Design: The fairing now features enhanced aero-ducts for better wind deflection and stability at high speeds.
- Revised LED Headlamp Setup: The dual LED headlamps are now sharper and offer improved night visibility, thanks to upgraded beam projection.
- Refined Body Panels: Subtle changes in the side panels and tank extensions give the bike a more muscular profile.
These design updates aren’t just visual; they contribute to improved aerodynamics and heat management — crucial for a performance bike.
Performance and Engine Enhancements
Under the hood, the 2025 TVS Apache RR 310 continues to be powered by a 312.2cc single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine that has been refined for better mid-range performance. Key updates include:
- Refined ECU Mapping: The throttle response is now crisper, with optimized fuel delivery for smoother power curves, especially in Urban and Rain modes.
- Improved Gearbox: Gear shifts are more precise with improved clutch feedback, thanks to the upgraded 6-speed gearbox.
- Ride-by-Wire Improvements: Enhancements in the ride-by-wire system lead to more responsive acceleration, particularly in Sport and Track modes.
The engine continues to produce 38 bhp at 9,800 rpm and 29 Nm of torque at 7,900 rpm, but with the refined tuning, the bike offers improved real-world rideability.
Advanced Tech and New Features
Tech has always been a strong point for the Apache RR 310, and the 2025 model ups the ante with smarter features:
- New 5.5-inch TFT Display: The console gets a UI update for better visibility in sunlight and adds turn-by-turn navigation via the SmartXonnect app.
- Custom Ride Modes: Riders can now customize engine maps, throttle response, and ABS settings individually within each mode, a segment-first feature.
- Bluetooth and SmartXonnect 2.0: Now enhanced with over-the-air updates, trip analytics, crash alert, and vehicle diagnostics.
- New Glide Through Technology Plus (GTT+): A boon for city traffic, this allows smoother low-speed movement without throttle input.
These updates make the Apache RR 310 a compelling option for tech-savvy riders who seek versatility from their motorcycle.
Chassis, Suspension, and Braking
The trellis frame chassis remains unchanged but has been reinforced for better stiffness and handling. Other key mechanical highlights include:
- Adjustable Suspension (Front and Rear): A major improvement, riders can now adjust preload, rebound, and compression settings, giving more control based on riding conditions.
- Michelin Road 6 Tyres: Replacing the previous Road 5s, these offer better grip and longevity, especially in wet conditions.
- Dual-Channel ABS (Updated Calibration): The system has been fine-tuned for more progressive and predictable braking.
With these updates, the 2025 Apache RR 310 is expected to offer superior cornering confidence and braking stability.
Pricing and Variants
TVS has priced the 2025 Apache RR 310 at ₹2.80 lakh (ex-showroom), a slight increase from the previous year, justified by the feature and hardware upgrades. The bike is available in two standard colors and also supports TVS’s Built-To-Order (BTO) customization platform, allowing buyers to select race kits, color themes, and more.
Competition and Market Position
With the 2025 update, the Apache RR 310 further strengthens its position in the entry-level premium supersport segment. Its primary rivals include:
- KTM RC 390 – Known for its aggressive power delivery and lightweight chassis.
- BMW G 310 RR – Essentially a rebadged version of the Apache, but priced higher.
- Yamaha R3 (2025) – Offers great handling but lacks some tech compared to the Apache.
The Apache RR 310 continues to hold its ground as a value-for-money performance bike, combining track potential with everyday usability.
Final Thoughts: A Well-Rounded Upgrade
The 2025 TVS Apache RR 310 is not just a cosmetic refresh but a thoughtfully updated motorcycle that addresses feedback from the community and adds genuine value. From enhanced ergonomics and refined ride modes to upgraded suspension and better connectivity, TVS has improved almost every aspect without straying from the original DNA.
For young enthusiasts, track day aspirants, or seasoned commuters looking for a bike that performs across terrains, the Apache RR 310 continues to be a top contender in the 300cc sportbike segment.
