Apache RR 310: The Apex Predator Returns in 2025

 

TVS Apache RR 310 Professional Viewpoint

Rajesh Kumar have developed a deep connection with the world of motorcycles.

To refer to the improvements as the next generation model would be an understatement.

 Is the Apache RR 310 still relevant in that scenario and should you give it some thought?

 Overview

 

Many components of the motorbike have not changed despite the firm providing periodic updates like new colors more functions and optional kits. 

In contrast the 2024 version contains additional features minor design adjustments and internal engine modifications.

  The changes arent thorough enough though to qualify as the next generation model.

 Is the Apache RR 310 still relevant in that scenario and should you give it some thought? 

We attempt to address it by riding the bike at the CoASTT High Performance track for a while.

The Pictures

 The inclusion of winglets which TVS claims may provide a maximum downforce of 3 kg is the most noticeable of the two design modifications made to the new RR 310.

 They look radical and give the motorbike a more serious track bike attitude even though thats not much for a machine that can reach a top speed of only 160 kmph.

 The addition of a translucent clutch cover which is typical of Ducati motorcycles is another stylistic change.  Even if its hardly noticeable it still looks nice.

 

 We believe that the list of visual modifications should have ended there. 

Even if this design is beautiful and remains aesthetically pleasing TVS need to have started again and made a few tiny adjustments to maintain the visual appeal.

 

 The Bundle

 The bikes 312cc liquid cooled engine has undergone the most modifications. 

TVS has improved performance and achieved a better compression ratio by adding a larger air box a larger throttle body diameter and a lighter forged piston. 

The power and torque output figures are up 4 horsepower and 2 Nm respectively at 38 bhp and 29 nm.

 This has reportedly led to faster roll on and off the line acceleration times.

 

 Similar to the majority of previous TVS motorcycles the Apache RR 310 has set the standard for features but the 2024 model has raised the bar significantly. 

The structure of the already data intensive five inch TFT console has been altered and more connectivity possibilities have been added. 

Along with the basic cruise control and adjustable levers found in all versions the top two models additionally come equipped with a bidirectional fast shifter.

 You may select one of the four riding modes which change the throttle response power delivery traction control intervention and ABS according on your riding circumstances and mood.

 

 If that isnt enough for you TVS is selling an optional Dynamic package that includes a brass coated chain fully adjustable suspension and a tire pressure monitoring system for an extra Rs. 18000. 

Additionally theres a Dynamic Pro package for Rs. 16000 that includes a number of cornering related features including wheelie control cornering ABS cornering traction control cornering cruise control and more….

 

 The hardware package is mostly unchanged.  It still has a split type trellis structure supporting it and it has 17inch alloy wheels with high end Michelin Road 5 tires. 

The suspension system consists of a mono shock at the back and USDs at the front with 240mm petal type discs at the back and 300mm discs at the front providing stopping power.

 The bike weighs 174 kg at the curb with an 11liter fuel tank and a seat height of 810mm.

 The Journey

 The most recent version of the Apache RR 310 maintains its reputation as a capable motorbike to ride at a racecourse. 

We rode the bike in Track mode throughout both of our track sessions which allows for unhindered performance and little electronic interference.

 To let us to experience the bikes cornering focused rider aids TVS technicians kept the Race Tuned Dynamic Stability Control on.

 

 The power comes in linearly but powerfully and the engine gives a fun punch from the midrange to the high end. 

The gears move with little effort and the throttle response is clear without being abrupt. 

For the most part the rapid shifter performs admirably particularly at higher rpm which makes riding the bike on the track even more thrilling.

 

 We were largely shifting between third fourth and fifth gear on the CoASTT performance circuit which is an interesting combination of sharp curves and lengthy sweepers. 

Due to the short third gear I was losing drive out of bends and ran out of revs too quickly when I switched to fourth. 

As a result I frequently had to keep the engine running in third gear. 

However since the new RR doesnt seem particularly strained at higher rpm this wasnt an issue. 

The fact that the vibrations arent excessive or bothersome is even more amazing particularly when compared to the RTR 310s naked counterpart.

 

 Without sacrificing the frontend sensation the motorbike felt tight steady and calm thanks to the TVS experts precise setup of the adjustable suspension for the track.

  The RR 310 reacts to your inputs with accuracy but its also user friendly enough to let you make mistakes and fix them. 

The Michelin Road 5 tires which provide excellent grip and feel and warm up quickly enhance its cornering capabilities. 

Similar to this the front brake gives you enough bite to in still confidence and enable you to brake late into curves.

 

 The restricted cornering clearance was the icing on the cake.

 When you push the bike around turns the footpegs begin to ground which might be unsettling especially for novice riders. 

Additionally larger riders could find the seat room insufficient particularly at a racecourse where they must constantly shift about on the seat. 

Apart from that the ergonomics of the seats are athletic and interesting without being overly demanding.

 Is it worth purchasing?

 Finally is the TVS Apache RR310 still a viable option? 

If you dont mind the seven year old design we think it does.

  Its amazing how comfortable the Apache RR 310 still is at a racecourse.

  Together the chassis springs tires and brakes provide an excellent handling package. 

Even though it was already powerful the engine seems less stressed and vibrates less especially when compared to its naked sister. 

However only in the actual world can we confirm this in full. 

Additionally it is welcoming and exciting especially for novice riders thanks to the fast shifter and various technological assistance.

 

 Because of our prior experience with the RR 310 its a versatile option that can be used for both touring and commuting.  But we think the pricing should have been cheaper.

 Choosing the new Bomber Grey trim (ex showroom Rs. 2.97 lakh) with the Dynamic kit (with adjustable suspension) which costs Rs. 18000 comes to Rs. 3.15 which is a bit much for this package.
