The 2025 TVS Apache RR 310 builds on its legacy with an aggressive design evolution, refined performance, and high-tech features that push it further into premium sportbike territory. It continues the familiar shark-inspired silhouette but introduces a host of sharp new lines and aggressive design elements that reflect its performance-oriented intent.
The redesigned front fairing now includes integrated aerodynamic air ducts that enhance engine cooling and improve airflow efficiency. These updates not only sharpen the Apache’s predatory aesthetic but also contribute to a 9% reduction in drag coefficient, thanks to intensive wind tunnel development.
Despite a more compact frontal profile, the bike houses larger LED headlamps with eye-catching DRLs, enhancing both night visibility and daytime road presence. The fuel tank remains bold and muscular, now with deeper knee recesses for improved grip during spirited riding.
The tail section has been overhauled, showcasing a higher, sleeker tail design with a sculpted LED taillight. New paint options—Racing Red, Phantom Black, and the standout Supersonic Blue—add flair, while the Racing Spirit edition brings carbon-fiber-finish detailing, red wheel pinstripes, and unique race-inspired graphics.

2025 TVS Apache RR 310: Powertrain Tweaks for a Stronger Punch
At the core, the Apache RR 310 continues with its 312.2cc liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine, now thoroughly reworked for 2025. TVS engineers have modified the cylinder head, optimized the port shapes, and introduced a high-lift camshaft, resulting in improved power delivery.
The upgraded engine now produces 37.4 HP at 9,700 RPM and 29.5 Nm of torque at 7,600 RPM—modest increases on paper, but with a noticeably broader powerband that improves acceleration and midrange performance, especially for real-world conditions.
Gearbox refinements include updated ratios for better responsiveness and an improved slipper clutch that reduces lever effort by 15%, giving a more direct feel during gear changes. For performance enthusiasts, the optional bi-directional quickshifter allows clutchless upshifts and downshifts for a racier ride.
Vibrations, a complaint on earlier versions, have been reduced with a rebalanced crankshaft and better engine mounting. A redesigned exhaust system now includes a larger catalytic converter (BS7 compliant) and emits a deeper, sportier note.
Precision Engineering: Chassis and Suspension Upgrades
The Apache retains its proven trellis frame but benefits from enhanced frame rigidity for better cornering feedback and high-speed stability. The swingarm is new—an aluminum die-cast unit with internal bracing that improves lateral stiffness by 14% without increasing weight.
In a major suspension overhaul, the front now features 43mm fully adjustable KYB USD forks, replacing the previous Showa setup. Riders can now individually tweak compression and rebound damping for a personalized feel. The rear monoshock also supports preload and rebound adjustment, further aiding versatility.
Braking hardware gets an upgrade too: a 320mm front disc paired with a radial-mount four-piston caliper, and a 240mm rear disc with a single-piston caliper. Dual-channel ABS by Continental now includes Road and Track modes for adaptive intervention based on riding conditions.
The bike continues with 17-inch alloy wheels but switches to Michelin Power 5 tires, offering significantly improved grip in both dry and wet conditions compared to the earlier Pilot Street rubber.
Smart Tech: Advanced Electronics Package
The 2025 Apache RR 310 marks a major leap in electronics, introducing a six-axis IMU for advanced rider aids. This makes the RR 310 one of the most technologically advanced motorcycles in its class.
Riders get four customizable ride modes—Urban, Rain, Sport, and Track—each altering throttle response, ABS sensitivity, power delivery, and traction control. A 5-inch TFT screen handles interface duties, now fully customizable and connected via TVS’s SmartXonnect app.
SmartXonnect enables turn-by-turn navigation, call/message alerts, and ride data logging. Riders can even analyze lean angles, braking zones, and throttle application post-ride through a companion app—tools that are generally found in higher-segment motorcycles.
Key tech features include:
- Cornering ABS for lean-sensitive braking
- Wheelie control to prevent accidental front-lift
- Cruise control for fatigue-free highway cruising
- LED cornering lights for enhanced visibility in turns
- USB-C charging for on-the-go device support
These updates make the RR 310 not just a fun bike but a smart and safe one too.
Ergonomics Refined for Everyday Comfort
TVS has acknowledged that most Apache RR 310 riders use their bikes daily, not just on twisty roads. For 2025, the ergonomics have been retuned to enhance everyday usability without sacrificing its sporty DNA.
The clip-ons are raised by 8mm and moved 5mm closer to reduce strain during commutes. The seat has been reworked with dual-density foam for better comfort and grip. There’s now a more defined rider-passenger split that improves back support on longer rides.
Wind protection has improved too, thanks to a taller windscreen that directs air over the rider’s helmet. These tweaks make the new Apache a practical machine without dulling its athletic appeal.
Positioning and Ownership: Affordable Performance Redefined
In a segment dominated by Japanese 250cc sportbikes and the KTM RC 390, the 2025 Apache RR 310 makes a strong case as a premium alternative with standout features. TVS’s pricing strategy ensures that buyers get more tech and refinement at a price that undercuts many rivals.
Owners benefit from a feature-rich Apache Owners App which simplifies service booking, stores digital service records, and connects riders across India. The bike is backed by a 3-year warranty, extendable to 5 years, showcasing TVS’s faith in the machine’s reliability.
Service intervals remain user-friendly—every 6,000 km for minor service and every 12,000 km for major maintenance. TVS’s widespread dealership network ensures easy access to spares and services across urban and rural India alike.
On-Road Experience: A True Everyday Sportbike
The 2025 Apache RR 310 manages to strike a rare balance: it’s beginner-friendly yet thrilling enough for experienced riders. The engine now pulls cleanly through the midrange, with a smoother, more progressive power delivery that avoids any sudden surges.
In city traffic, the light clutch, improved low-speed throttle tuning, and upright position make maneuvering a breeze. On the highway, cruising between 100–120 km/h is effortless, with low vibration levels and improved wind protection.
The RR 310 truly shines on winding roads. The updated suspension, tighter frame geometry, and new tires combine to deliver razor-sharp handling. Feedback through the bars is excellent, inspiring confidence as the rider leans into corners.
Braking is precise and fade-resistant, while electronic assists quietly enhance safety without dulling the riding experience. It’s a machine that adapts to the rider’s intent—commute, tour, or carve corners.
Final Verdict: A Flagship for the Masses
With the 2025 update, the TVS Apache RR 310 has matured into a full-fledged premium sportbike. From its refined engine and high-end suspension to its class-leading electronics and practicality, it redefines what an Indian motorcycle can offer in this price range.
Whether you’re a weekend track-day warrior, a daily commuter, or a tech-savvy rider looking for premium features without European price tags, the new RR 310 delivers. It cements TVS’s commitment to performance, value, and innovation—and makes a strong statement in the sub-400cc sportbike space both in India and abroad.
