The TVS Apache RR 310 has been TVS’ flagship bike for quite a while now. And now while its engine hasn’t been something that’s really impressed us, what’s really stood out on the RR 310 are its fantastic looks. So when TVS decided to strip off its fairing and make an RTR 310, we all obviously sat up and took notice.
And now that the RTR 310 has been officially launched, it does make us wonder if its actually just the RR 310 underneath, or is there a lot more to it. To find out exactly that, here’s a deep dive into all that’s new on the RTR 310:
Better Looks
The TVS Apache RTR 310 boasts a seriously aggressive design. It's all about the LEDs, with a twin-LED headlight setup and taillights that resemble vertical LED strips.
For the RR 310, meanwhile, TVS has stuck with the fierce shark-inspired look. And in this updated version, you have the freedom to choose your colors, including those snazzy alloy wheels. If you're feeling the need for speed, there's even a TVS Racing livery option. And for that personal touch, you can slap on your very own racing number on the visor. It's all about making it your own!
