The All-New Apache RTR 310: Rule the Streets.

 


TVS Apache RTR 310 Professional Viewpoint

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

 A simplified RR 310 is not all that the new TVS Apache RTR 310 is.  It boasts enough modifications to have a unique personality. 

Aside from all the mechanical modifications its sheer feature set makes it obvious that its technological prowess can rival that of much larger bikes.

 Overview

 

 A simplified RR 310 is not all that the new TVS Apache RTR 310 is. 

It boasts enough modifications to have a unique personality.

 Aside from all the mechanical modifications its sheer feature set makes it obvious that its technological prowess can rival that of much larger bikes. 

The competition has become more competitive though both in terms of technology and the entire riding experience. 

For example the recently released KTM 250 Duke has improved in every way. To answer that we spent a lengthy time on the bike.

 Style and Excellence

Particularly in this Fury Yellow color scheme the robotic low slung front appearance muscular fuel tank with sharp extensions exposed frame and pointed tail section attract attention from onlookers everywhere.

 Its style meanwhile could seem a little ambiguous and out of proportion to some. 

In contrast to the remainder of the minimalist bodywork which has clean and streamlined lines the front fascia appears large and intimidating. 

 There are no issues with the fit finish or general quality standards. 

Everything has been assembled with strength and the paint job and plastic panel quality give it a highend appearance.

 

 Comfort and Ergonomics

 You may ride in a somewhat comfortable posture on the Apache RTR 310.

 Even shorter riders may get aboard with ease because to the seat height of 800mm.  To reach the handlebar you squat somewhat while sitting in a rather upright riding position.

  The seat is sufficiently soft although the footpegs are somewhat rearset.

 Additionally there are deep enough recesses in the gasoline tank to comfortably lock your knees. 

Every time the rider attempts to move behind the little hump on the front of the pillion seat stabs them in the tailbone.

 Additionally it limits the amount of room on the seat.

 Therefore on an otherwise pleasant bike the seat room may be a small problem if youre a huge person.

 

 In contrast the ride quality is nearly luxurious.

 Potholes ruts and other small undulations like road joints are almost completely leveled down. 

You just feel a minor shock to your back when you travel through a deep pothole. 

Additionally if the road is even somewhat uneven at higher speeds the bike continues to bounce gently not uncomfortable.

 

 As part of its Dynamic Kit which costs Rs. 18000 TVS also provides an optional fullyadjustable suspension configuration for those who wish to customize the ride to their preferences.

 Execution and Management

 The same 312cc single cylinder liquid cooled motor that powers the Apache RR310 also powers the RTR 310.

 In addition to changing the gear ratios TVS has made some small adjustments to the RTRs fuel map intake and exhaust.

 

 This results in a very powerful midrange grunt from the engine which makes riding this bike in the city a real pleasure. 

From 4000 rpm there is a strong pull that lasts nearly to the redline.  However the bike feels really fast between 5000 and 7000 rpm which is where the actual power is. 

It will be easy for you to pass the majority of the cars in the city.  Additionally it is tractable enough to cruise in sixth gear at 45 to 50 kmph with ease. 

Additionally I didnt feel any hot air escaping from my legs even in heavy traffic because to the effective heat management.

 

 A smooth shifting gearbox and a light clutch enhance the experience. 

Now the quick shifter works very well for the most part if you are too lazy to use the clutch.

  The system is enjoyable to use even if its not as smooth as the larger motorcycles and you have to get used to the minor jolt during upshifts. 

On the highway its the same story.  You have enough power to pass without downshifting even at 100 to 110 kmph when the engine is running near 6000 rpm.

 

 Conversely there are several places where the engine can perform better.

 When accelerating the throttle response is precise but when decelerating there is a sudden jolt.  The vibrations are a big drawback for this engine even if you can get used to it.

 A noticeable buzz begins at 5000 rpm and continues to grow as the revs rise.  Even at 90 kmph vibrations are audible and at 100 kmph they become more severe. 

However for a few minutes at least the feelings are not completely annoying.  But if I were going on a trip that required me to ride it all day I would reconsider.

 

 In terms of handling this is a classic Apache.

 Slicing through traffic is a joyful experience because of its exceptional agility low weight and fun nature.

 With the chassis feeling pretty responsive and expressive the bike is perfectly at home in curves thanks to its acute handling qualities. 

Not to mention the bikes handling is made even more confident with the grippy Michelin Road 5 tires.

 

The front brake bite is rather powerful.

  Under severe braking it seems a little erratic but the stopping force is always sufficient.  Curiously there are four actions you may do to change the reach of the clutch and brake levers.

 

 Technology and Features

 You may use all of its available power and torque which are 35.1 horsepower and 28.7 Nm in the last three settings. 

The performance is reduced to 26.7 horsepower and 27.3 Nm in the Rain and Urban mode though. 

The performance difference isnt that great when driving but its still visible.

 

  Using cruise control which operates precisely and makes traveling on the highway a delightful experience was something I especially loved.

 

 

 Efficiency of Fuel

 It should have a full tank range of about 316 kilometers given its 11liter fuel tank.

 

 Is It Worth Purchasing?

 The Apache RTR 310 is a good option if youre looking for a fun safe and technologically advanced naked motorbike that costs less than Rs. 4 lakh. 

It is currently new and not widely available which makes it a unique offering that is appropriate for someone seeking something unusual.

 

 The RTR 310 does city jobs efficiently.  It is an engaging city motorbike because of its powerful midrange fun handling qualities commanding sitting posture and light controls. 

Additionally because of the grippy Michelin tires it tackles the twisties with enthusiasm.

 The strong vibrations at higher speeds raise doubts about whether this is a decent touring motorbike. 

 In summary the Apache RTR 310 is an excellent city bike thats perfect for quick weekend excursions.
