The long-awaited TVS Apache RTX 300 ADV has finally made its official entry into the Indian market. With prices starting at Rs 1.99 lakh (ex-showroom), this adventure motorcycle is set to take on rivals in the mid-capacity ADV segment.
The bike is offered in three variants – Base, Top, and BTO (Built To Order) – each designed to suit different rider preferences and touring needs.
Design and Features
The TVS Apache RTX 300 ADV adopts a semi-faired design with a tall upright windshield, raised handlebars, split seats, and a rear luggage rack – all essential elements for an ADV-focused machine.
Inside the cockpit, you get a 5.0-inch TFT display supporting turn-by-turn navigation, cruise control, and four riding modes: Rain, Urban, Tour, and Rally.
The BTO version brings even more features, such as adjustable suspension, TPMS (Tyre Pressure Monitoring System), and a brass-coated chain.
