TVS Apache RTX 300 20th Anniversary Edition Unveiled: Black-Gold ADV Bike

The iconic Apache family gets more festive — the TVS Apache RTX 300 has just been unveiled in a commemorative 20th Anniversary Edition, featuring an exclusive black-and-champagne-gold livery that instantly elevates its road presence. Introduced at the MotoSoul 2025, this special edition doesn’t alter the mechanicals or performance but underscores what makes RTX 300 stand out: a capable 299 cc ADV packed with modern features and ready for both city commutes and touring.

Engine & Performance

Under the tank, the Anniversary Edition carries the same 299.1 cc liquid-cooled DOHC engine (branded RT-XD4) as the standard RTX 300 — producing around 36 PS and 28.5 Nm at peak. The power is delivered through a six-speed gearbox, complete with assist and slipper clutch, plus a bi-directional quickshifter for smoother upshifts and downshifts. This combination ensures that the bike remains capable for both city rides and highway touring, with the engine delivering responsive low- and mid-range performance — ideal for a versatile adventure-tourer.

Chassis & Handling

The RTX 300 rides on a sturdy steel trellis frame paired with a cast-aluminium swingarm — a setup that balances strength and agility. On the front, there’s a 41 mm USD fork and at the rear a monoshock, both tuned for a mix of on-road comfort and light off-road stability. The wheel setup consists of 19-inch front and 17-inch rear alloy wheels, shod with block-pattern tyres that hint at light off-roading capability. With a kerb weight of about 180 kg and a ground clearance of 200 mm, the RTX 300 remains manageable for everyday use while offering respectable adventure-touring potential.

Technology & Features

Where RTX 300 truly shines is in its modern feature list. The Anniversary Edition retains a full suite of electronics and amenities: a 5-inch multi-information TFT display with smartphone connectivity, turn-by-turn navigation, and ride telemetry. On the safety front: dual-channel ABS (switchable), traction control, and multiple ride modes (Urban, Rain, Tour, Rally) help adapt performance based on conditions. Riders also benefit from conveniences like cruise control, a comfortable split seat, and provision for luggage — underlining its tourer credentials. The Anniversary Edition’s feature set remains identical to the standard model, showing that the upgrade is purely aesthetic.

20th Anniversary Makeover

The key differentiator with the 20th Anniversary Edition is its styling. The bike dons a deep gloss black base with champagne gold stripes and subtle red accents — along with limited-edition badging and a commemorative “20 Years” crest. Even the alloy wheels get a dual-tone treatment (half black, half gold), giving the bike a stand-out presence on the road. Importantly, no mechanical or feature upgrades accompany this edition, differentiating it from some other anniversary variants in the Apache range.

Conclusion

The 20th Anniversary Edition of the TVS Apache RTX 300 combines all the proven strengths of the standard model — a capable 299 cc engine, adventure-ready chassis, modern electronics, and touring-friendly ergonomics — with a striking new aesthetic that celebrates two decades of Apache legacy. It’s ideal for riders who want a versatile all-rounder: equally at home in city traffic, long highway cruises, or light weekend escapes. With no compromise on performance or practicality, this special edition reinforces RTX 300’s value as one of the most compelling sub-300 cc adventure tourers on the market today.
