An all-new 300cc adventure bike from TVS has been spotted testing. For your information, this is not a rebadged version of the BMW F 450 GS, which was recently unveiled at EICMA 2024. This means TVS is developing a completely new product with a 300cc engine, inspired by the RTR 310 powertrain.
According to several media reports, this bike will be called the Apache RTX 310 ADV, and its testing is in the final stages. Let us take a closer look at this exciting update. In the meantime, make sure to join the 91Wheels Whatsapp Channel to never miss out on automotive news.

TVS Apache RTX 310?
These are rumors for now, but it's almost certain that this adventure bike will feature 21-inch front and 18-inch rear wheels, a beak-style mudguard, dual-channel ABS, a monoshock rear, USD front suspension, and a tall windscreen. Expect nothing less than a TFT screen with USB connectivity, ride modes, switchable ABS, TVS SmartXonnect and all LED setup.
As you can see, the test mule photo is quite vague, indicating that the bike is still in the testing phase and gearing up for full production. TVS is likely to make an official announcement next year, and once it is launched, this bike will compete in the segment currently dominated by the Royal Enfield Himalayan 450, KTM 390 Adventure, and Hero Xpulse. Additionally, this bike has the potential to become TVS's most expensive model to go on sale.

Verdict
Finally, TVS has decided to step into the adventure bike segment with its own model, separate from its partnership with BMW Motorrad. The king of this segment is the RE Himalayan, and its success has inspired many two-wheeler manufacturers to create their own adventure bikes. If all the rumors are true, this new bike will feature an all-new engine and become the most expensive model from TVS.
