BUILT SMARTR

What happens when you pack even more tech to one of the most advanced 300cc motorcycles on the market?

- WORDS AAKASH S PAUL

Before the market was flooded with budget-friendly 400cc motorcycles, one of the best performance bikes you could get without breaking the bank was the TVS Apache RR 310.

It was TVS's largest-displacement offering, showcasing the company's racing pedigree to the fullest. Then came the RR's naked sibling - the RTR 310. By then, however, the market had changed, and competition had grown fiercer. While the RTR 310 doesn't have the edge in terms of displacement, it more than makes up for it with a tech-loaded arsenal.

Now, the 2025 update pushes that envelope even further. We took the bike for a spin on the streets of Coimbatore and the CoASTT track to find out how this refreshed package holds up.

CLEAR VISUAL UPGRADES

The new RTR sees more cosmetic updates than mechanical ones. The first thing you'll notice is the updated graphics. There are four colour options to choose from, and I must say that all of them look stylish. My personal favourite is the Arsenal Black.
