Last week, I took some time out with my friend to look at new bikes, and to be honest, the 2025 TVS Apache RTR 310 caught our full attention. The craze for sports bikes is growing rapidly in India, and with this bike, TVS has once again shown why it is leading the segment. This bike not only looks great and rides well, but it also has technology that makes riding more fun.
Whether you want to ride it on city roads or enjoy speed on the highway, this bike does wonders in every situation. Let us tell you what special things we found in it.
The TVS Apache RTR 310 was first launched in the market in 2023. Now, in 2025, its new and improved version has arrived, in which many great updates have been made. This bike has not only become more stylish than before, but it has also got some new features and better performance. If you are looking for a bike that is in budget but gives a premium feel to ride, then this bike will fit perfectly. Let us now look at its features, price, mileage, and other features a little more closely.
2025 TVS Apache RTR 310 Design: Aggressive and powerful in looks
The design of this bike is such that no one will be able to stop looking at it on the road. Its twin LED headlamps and LED DRLs give it a cyborg-like look, which makes it different from other bikes. The bike’s high tail and forward tilted body design give it a sporty feel. Its new color options, like Fury Yellow and Sepang Blue, make it even more attractive.
Along with this, it has 17-inch alloy wheels and Michelin Road 5 tyres, which not only provide good grip but also enhance the overall style of the bike. Its split seat design and optional heated and cooled seats make it very comfortable even for long rides. When I myself took a test ride, both its look and riding position seemed very impressive.

Engine and Performance:
The 2025 Apache RTR 310 has a 312.2 cc single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine, which now gives more power than before. This engine produces 38 bhp of power at 9,700 rpm and 29 Nm of torque at 7,900 rpm. Its 6-speed gearbox and bilateral quickshifter make gear changes so smooth that every ride feels like racing.
The speed of this bike is so amazing that it can accelerate from 0 to 60 kmph in just 2.81 seconds. Its top speed goes up to 150 kmph. Whether you are on the crowded roads of the city or on the open highway, this bike gives reliable and powerful performance everywhere. A friend of mine drove it on the highway and said that both its cornering and balance are excellent.
Features:
TVS has given so many technological features in it that this bike becomes a complete tech powerhouse. It has a 5-inch TFT display which offers features like smartphone connectivity, GoPro support and turn-by-turn navigation. Also, with the help of a 6-axis IMU, advanced features like cornering ABS, traction control, and cruise control have been provided, which make it very special in this segment.
It has five riding modes—Track, Sport, Supermoto, Urban, and Rain, that are perfect for every type of road condition. The rear ABS is switched off in Supermoto mode, allowing you to enjoy a little drifting. Also, there are safety features like a tyre pressure monitoring system and a side stand cut-off. I rode it in the city traffic in Urban mode and was surprised by its agility.
Price: How is it budget-friendly?
The starting ex-showroom price of the 2025 TVS Apache RTR 310 is Rs 2.39 lakh, which is for its base variant (Arsenal Black). Its top variant (Fury Yellow) comes for Rs 2.57 lakh and if you want to buy it with BTO Dynamic Pro Kit, then the price goes up to Rs 2.85 lakh. Considering its features and performance, this price seems right. The interesting thing is that under the launch offer, this bike is Rs 3,000 cheaper than the 2023 model.
If you want to finance it, you can bring it home by paying a down payment of just Rs 28,000. Then you will have to pay an EMI of Rs 7,678 per month for a 3-year loan at 6% interest rate. This deal is very good for those who want a premium bike but also want to keep the budget in mind.
Mileage:
According to ARAI, this bike can give a mileage of up to 35 km/liter, but in real life, it remains around 25-30 km/liter. This mileage is good for both city and highway, especially when you look at its powerful performance.
My cousin uses it for daily commuting and says that this bike is not only fuel-efficient, but its 11-litre fuel tank is enough for long rides. If you want a balance of power and mileage, then this bike will not disappoint you.
Competition: How is it different from KTM and BMW?
TVS Apache RTR 310 has direct competition with many powerful bikes in the market. In this, the KTM 390 Duke is famous for its power and style. At the same time, BMW G 310 R is a strong contender with its premium look and great performance.
Apart from this, Honda CB750 Hornet also makes its place in this segment with its attractive design and excellent riding experience. All these bikes are very popular among young riders. While KTM is known for its raw power, the Apache RTR 310 goes ahead due to its features and affordable price. BMW G 310 R is premium, but also more expensive than the Apache.
TVS has packed premium electronics in this bike at an affordable price, making this bike a strong contender in this segment. If you want a bike that has a great mix of looks, technology, and power, then this bike can be a great choice.
Apache is one of the most popular bikes in India, and now the 2025 TVS Apache RTR 310 comes with great updates that will further increase its popularity. Its upgraded engine, new color options and high-tech features make it even more attractive for young riders. Its price and mileage also make it a good option for the budget, while its performance and electronics make you feel premium.
