⚙️ Engine and Performance
At the heart of the Apache RTX 300 lies an all-new 299 cc single-cylinder, liquid-cooled, DOHC engine developed under TVS’s RT-XD4 platform. This motor produces around 36 PS of power at 9,000 rpm and 28.5 Nm of torque at 7,000 rpm, delivering a perfect blend of highway cruising comfort and off-road punch.
The bike is paired with a 6-speed gearbox that includes an assist and slipper clutch for smoother downshifts. TVS has also equipped the motorcycle with a bi-directional quickshifter, making gear changes lightning fast — a feature usually seen only on premium bikes.
🛞 Chassis, Suspension & Braking
The Apache RTX 300 is built on a strong trellis frame that ensures rigidity and stability, especially at high speeds and during off-road rides. The suspension setup includes:
- 41 mm upside-down front forks (adjustable)
- Preload-adjustable monoshock at the rear
- Wheel travel: approx. 180 mm
The bike runs on a 19-inch front wheel and 17-inch rear wheel combination, wrapped in dual-purpose block-pattern tyres for confident grip on both highways and dirt tracks.
For braking duties, TVS offers a 320 mm front disc with a radial-mounted caliper and a 240 mm rear disc, supported by dual-channel ABS. Riders can even switch ABS modes depending on terrain conditions — ideal for off-road adventurers.
