WE RIDE THE NEW TVS APACHE RR 310 ON THE TRACK!
THE TVS Apache RR 310, which was known as the Akula 310 in its pre-production/ concept avatar, was the most awaited motorcycle of the year and boy did it live up to the expectations when it was finally launched by TVS in Chennai? Gauging by the people’s response on the internet, you can definitely say that TVS seems to have hit the nail on its head with the Apache RR 310. We received hundreds of comments on our live video from the launch and not even a single one of them seemed to dislike the bike. Take a bow TVS!
The Apache RR 310 is probably one of the best motorcycle designs by an Indian manufacturer. The design is sharp and edgy, not too sharp like the RC390 though. This design has been finalized after extensive wind tunnel testing of various prototypes and offers lowest coefficient of drag in its segment. They’ve also incorporated vents in the side fairing to deflect the hot air coming from the engine and the radiator away from the rider. And it does look and feel big, much bigger than you would expect an entry level sports bike to be. The Bi-LED twin projector headlamp, minimalistic sticker work, and a sharp tail give this bike a very distinctive and pronounced road presence that is hard to miss.
The Apache 310 RR is available in two color variants – Racing Red and Sinister Black. The glossy red paint with white race stripes keeps reminding you of Ducati; and the matte black variant, although subtle, holds its ground well. The paint and fit and finish on this bike is top notch and it reeks of the kind of premiumness you’d expect from much more expensive European bikes.
