The TVS RTX 300, which is going to be the first adventure tourer from the Indian manufacturer, is set to debut on October 15. The motorcycle has been under development for a while now and has been spotted during testing a couple of times. For the uninitiated, the upcoming ADV will be powered by the 299cc RTX D4 engine that was showcased during MotoSoul 2024. The RTX D4 engine produces 35PS and 28.5Nm, and puts it down via a 6-speed transmission.
From the images, it can be seen that it has a beak, a front fairing with a tall windshield, and split headlamps. The engine sits inside a trellis frame with a bolted rear subframe. It gets USD forks and a monoshock, and rides on 19-inch front and 17-inch rear wheels, which are cast alloy (if TVS plans to introduce a variant with wire-spoked wheels in the future like Triumph did with the Scrambler 400, we would be very interested indeed). Braking duties will be handled by disc brakes on both ends. TVS is expected to equip the RTX 300 with a host of features like a TFT dash, Bluetooth connectivity, navigation, as well as other electronic rider aids, the kind already present on the tech-laden Apache RTR 310.
The upcoming motorcycle is expected to be priced competitively as it falls under the cut-off of 350cc, a category that has seen price reductions after the current tax reforms under GST 2.0. Upon its launch, the TVS Apache RTX 300 is going to lock horns with other adventure motorcycles in the segment, such as the KTM 250 Adventure.
