The TVS Apache RR 310 has always held a special place in India’s performance-motorcycle scene. It’s the rare bike that blends track-inspired aggression with everyday usability — and the fact that it was co-developed with BMW Motorrad only sweetens the deal. In a segment crowded with sharp, lightweight sport machines, the RR 310 stands out as a polished, tech-loaded, premium-feeling motorcycle that doesn’t demand superbike money.
Let’s dive into the machine that turned TVS from a commuter king into a legitimate sportbike player.
A BMW-Engineered Heart That Loves to Rev
The RR 310 runs on the familiar 312.2cc, liquid-cooled, single-cylinder engine that BMW also uses in its G 310 lineup — but TVS has tuned it for a more exciting, track-friendly personality.
You’re looking at:
- 34 PS @ 9,700 rpm
- 27.3 Nm @ 7,700 rpm
- 6-speed gearbox with slipper clutch
The bike pulls cleanly from low revs and then surges ahead as the tach climbs. And yes, it’ll happily sit at 150+ kmph on an open stretch, with an official top speed brushing 160 kmph.
The engine doesn’t scream or panic — it delivers linear yet punchy acceleration, perfectly suited for overtakes, corner exits, and spirited Sunday rides.
Real-World Mileage That’s Surprisingly Practical
Sportbikes are usually thirsty, but the RR 310 manages to be civil. Expect:
- 30–35 kmpl in mixed riding
- 11-litre fuel tank
- Range of 330–385 km per fill
For a fully-faired machine with this performance, those numbers are genuinely impressive.
| Specification | Details |
|---|---|
| Engine Capacity | 312.2cc |
| Mileage | 30–35 kmpl |
| Fuel Tank | 11 litres |
| Riding Range | 330–385 km |
A Sharp, Fully-Faired Design That Demands Attention
If you like your bikes bold, the RR 310 isn’t shy. The fairing flows beautifully from the front to the tail, with aggressive LED headlights, a sculpted tank, and a crisp split-seat setup.
TVS offers it in Racing Red and Titanium Black, both with premium graphics that give it a proper “mini superbike” feel. The proportions are spot-on — aerodynamic without feeling overdone, sporty without being impractical.
The windscreen also works surprisingly well for high-speed touring, a detail many owners appreciate on longer rides.

Ride & Handling: Built for Corners, Happy in Traffic
The RR 310 sits on a trellis frame that offers a near-perfect mix of agility and stability. Whether you’re slicing through rush-hour gaps or leaning into weekend twisties, the bike feels planted and confidence-inspiring.
Key highlights:
- Comfortable clip-ons (not too low, ideal for touring)
- 11-degree back-swept handlebars for balanced ergonomics
- Michelin Road 5 / TVS ProTorq tyres depending on variant
- Wind protection that actually works
The seat height is 810 mm — friendly for average-height riders — and the geometry ensures you don’t feel cramped even after hours in the saddle.
Pricing: Sportsbike Thrill, Sensible Bill
Despite packing BMW engineering and superbike-style features, the RR 310 is priced intelligently:
| Variant | Price (Ex-showroom, Delhi) |
|---|---|
| Apache RR 310 | ₹2.72 – ₹2.85 lakh |
That positions it as one of the most value-packed motorcycles in the sub-400cc class — especially when compared to rivals offering fewer features at higher prices.
A Near-Perfect All-Rounder for Indian Riders
The TVS Apache RR 310 has matured into a bike that balances premium hardware, real-world usability, and pure riding pleasure.
- For daily commutes? Smooth, refined, manageable.
- For long rides? Stable, comfortable, and efficient.
- For track days? Quick, sharp, and thrilling.
- For beginners? Friendly.
- For enthusiasts? Engaging.
It’s rare to find a motorcycle that does so many things so well — but the RR 310 manages it with style.
If you want a motorcycle that feels like a sportbike, rides like a tourer, and looks like a premium machine without breaking the bank, the Apache RR 310 deserves a serious look.
