The Apache RTX looks unlike any other motorcycle in TVS’ portfolio. It has a touring-focused design, featuring a tall stance and muscular proportions.

There’s a minimal use of body panels, most of which are concentrated around the front. It features a twin-LED headlamp setup with a tall windscreen for better wind protection.

The split seat setup and compact tail section are complemented by a rear luggage rack that can accommodate touring luggage or a top box.

Powering the Apache RTX 300 is the all-new 299.1 cc RT-XD4 engine, first showcased at TVS MotoSoul 2024.

This unit features dual overhead camshafts, twin oil pumps, liquid and oil cooling, and a dual separator breather system. It delivers 35.5 bhp at 9,000 rpm and 28.5 Nm of peak torque at 7,000 rpm.
