With the recent registration of its trademark and impending launch, TVS appears to be preparing to take its place in the competitive adventure bike market with the Apache RTX.
Currently, bikes like the Suzuki V-Strom SX 250, BMW G 310 GS, Hero XPulse, KTM Adventure, Royal Enfield Himalayan, and others dominate the market. The new bike – Apache RTX will be built on the same 310cc base that BMW and TVS motorcycles already ride on. It consists of the BMW G310R, G310RR, and G310GS, as well as the Apache RR310 and RTR310.
TVS Apache RTX: What All Can We Expect?
The new RTX adventure bike will feature an aggressive profile, keeping with the Apache bike’s design language. Highlights will include a striking front fascia, elevated front beak, small windscreen, layered shoulder panels, upswept exhaust, rear rack, and exposed frame in contrasting colour. The LED headlamp with integrated LED DRL and golden USD forks are other noteworthy features.
A variety of eye-catching colour schemes will be available for Apache RTX. It will have a complete digital instrument cluster with a wide variety of display components. To access a variety of features and services, users will be able to link their cell phones via Bluetooth. Additionally, via the TVS SmartXonnect connection suite, this will be accessible. A variety of metrics and statistics are accessible through the app. Users will have access to all the information on their journey and riding preferences.
