TVS Apache RR 310 Spied With Winglets
The test mule of the TVS Apache RR 310 reveals that there wont be major design shifts for this model, hinting that TVS may retain its current look. However, there are exciting new additions that are likely to stir considerable discussion among motorcycle enthusiasts. Notably, the bike now features winglets, a design element typically reserved for high-performance superbikes and liter-class machines. These winglets are designed to enhance aerodynamics by helping in downforce and providing greater stability during braking and cornering. This introduction of winglets on a 310cc single-cylinder motorcycle marks a significant and innovative step in the 300cc performance motorcycles.
Engine Details
The Apache RR 310s engine is currently rated at 34 hp, suggesting that the addition of winglets might be more about showcasing design innovation than directly enhancing performance. When TVS introduced the RTR 310 last year, it boosted its 312cc engine to deliver 35.6 hp. There's speculation that the same power upgrades could be applied to the RR 310 with this latest update. Other than this, no more changes are expected.
