TVS Apache RTR 310 Review | Sagar Sheldekar Official | When Less is More!

TVS's new flagship the Apache RTR 310 is loaded to the T with electronics which help it stand out from its competition but also puts it precariously close to the much more powerful 2024 KTM Duke 390 in terms of pricing. But after riding the top end variant in Bangkok, Sarge had the nagging feeling that the base variant of the RTR 310 could actually turn out to be the true unsung hero in TVS's lineup that can take the fight to the 2024 KTM Duke 250 and the Triumph Speed 400. But is that really the case? Sarge hops on to find out.

You know, the throttle on the urban and rain mode on my RR 310 also feels snappier than it does in the track and sport mode. I thought I was just being paranoid about it. But I’m glad you brought it up! I’ve not seen anyone talk about this.

The base varient is crazy value for money! So many bikes have ride by wire these days but only tvs has the balls to stick a cruise control on a 313cc 2.4L ex showroom machine!!! They kind of deserve bike of the year over the Himalayan/ Duke well maybe a threeway tie between Husqvarna 401 + Aprilia 457 !

And also even base variant, correct me if i am wrong comes with steel braided brake lines. It got packed with quality components. i like the chain has a idler roller to keep it from bouncing while riding. yes its low on power but the principles of a quality bike is there and i would like to see in future this should be made available to other siblings in this segment.

Another great video sarge! Which do you think would make for a great sport tourer..possibly even a Ladakh trip(mainly keeping in mind minimum vibes at the cruising speeds of 80 to 130)amongst the three? Speed 400, rtr 310 and duke 250?

[@SagarSheldekarOfficial]

I'll say the rtr is a good pick for that trip

[@pratikmahajan1318]

hey sarge, I am upgrading from rtr 200 and I need an absolute fun to ride motorcycle with bulletproof reliability . My options - CB 300R , RTR 310 (mid) , Duke 390 , Svartpilen 401 . I suppose the more the bike is loaded with tech and electronics the more it robs away from the reliability. Your opinions please!

Now that's a video which hits the spot 😌 Loved it Sarge. As a potential buyer I will definitely be taking the top variant in consideration for the two reason : 1. Been dreaming to own an Apache since 12 years now. So it's an emotional thing which will definitely make me get the top end variant. 2. I respect the KTM and at that price the apache really don't hold the handle but thats just not my cup of tea 😅. Will surely wait for couple of months more. I'm not one of those who gets the newly launched bike. I'll let TVS iron out those flaws which can be fixed. So as usual THANK YOU Sarge again for this Splendid review. Your review means a lot to me ❤

Hi Sagar! It was a fantastic video as always. I am recently thinking of an upgrade to a naked sportster and currently eyeing on CB300R and RTR310(mid variant). Which one would you suggest?

[@SagarSheldekarOfficial]

I would say the rtr mid because it is just as engaging to ride and offers better value

[@vzvish357]

KTM Duke 250 Gen3 / Triumph Speed 400 / Honda CB300R / TVS Apache RTR 310 Base or Mid variant -- all of these are roughly in the same price range Sarge, which do you recommend & why ??

[@kankit230]

Test rode it yesterday, i own a duke 390 which is already viby but Apache amazed me with the amount of bad vibs it has, its more gimmicy . But the quickshifter is amazing and easily the best implementation

Whats the value for money pick between rtr 310 vs triumph scrambler???

[@prady_2k]

Being an owner of this... I completely agree with you on the agressive throttle response in Urban and Rain mode compared to other two. Considering I am upgraded from a scooter(TVS Wego 110, according to me the best scooter ever produced by TVS), I believe this is helping me to understand how to control the throttle. When I test rode, I was confirmed to myself that I will buy this to learn motorcycle and motorcycling

[@SagarSheldekarOfficial]

Stick to the sport or track mode

[@f1andcarcontent]

might consider the triumph speed 400 as it is a better motorcycle in the 400cc . the service interval and less expensive to maintain is main key to buy

[@SagarSheldekarOfficial]

Fair enough

[@cineenthusiast1234]

The maintenance cost will be similar

[@vivek_shenoy]

I feel TVS could have built a slightly bigger engine in terms of capacity because most people I know are either buying a 250 or a bigger 400/500. I know "cc" doesn't give you the full spill but people do look at just "cc". The bike as it is, is very good. The price and options available make it an uphill climb for RTR 310.

[@SagarSheldekarOfficial]

The base variant is the real winner

@@SagarSheldekarOfficial Most VFM.

Exactly. The main fights are happening in 400+cc and therefore it makes more sense to target that segment.

Yeah, the top spec variant comes close to 390 in terms of price and TVS is getting trashed by everyone for that. But somehow, the duke 250 which is priced close to RTR310 gets a pass and no one ever seems to complain about it. The typical indian mindset of hating their own country product whether it's bike or cricketer or actor but loves to praise and accept every other country products. Feels very weird man.
