• Ergonomics: It’s expected to offer an upright riding posture and a spacious stepped split seat for rider and pillion comfort on long journeys. The high-set handlebar should provide good leverage.
• Build: The bike is built on a trellis frame, likely developed from the ground up for this model.

2. Engine and Performance TVS Apache RTX 300:

• New RT-XD4 Engine: A key highlight is the all-new 299cc, liquid-cooled, single-cylinder “RT-XD4” engine. This is a new platform developed in-house by TVS, moving away from the BMW-sourced 312cc engine seen in the Apache RR 310.
• Power and Torque: This engine is expected to produce around 35 PS (horsepower) at 9,000 rpm and 28.5 Nm of peak torque at 7,000 rpm.

• Wheels and Tires: Being a road-biased ADV, it’s expected to ride on a 19-inch alloy wheel at the front and a 17-inch alloy wheel at the rear, wrapped with dual-purpose tubeless tires.
