TVS Motor’s upcoming adventure motorcycle was recently spotted undergoing testing. While the bike was fully camouflaged, several design elements and key hardware features were still visible. This new model will be the first in TVS’s lineup to be powered by the brand-new 299cc liquid-cooled engine, dubbed the RT-XD4. Reports suggest that the motorcycle could be named the Apache RTX 300. Here’s what we know about it so far.
TVS adventure motorcycle: What to expect?
Based on the spy images, the new adventure motorcycle will come equipped with tubeless tyres and alloy wheels. As an adventure tourer, it features a 19-inch front wheel and a 17-inch rear wheel. TVS might also introduce an off-road-focused variant with a larger 21-inch front wheel while retaining the 17-inch rear wheel but with spoke wheels for better durability on rough terrain.
Moving on to the design, the new adventure motorcycle sports a tall windshield, a split seat set up, dual tone upside down front forks in gold and black combination and all LED lights. It gets a rear mono shock. The new TVS motorcycle has the typical ADV features like a raised front fender and a tall riding stance.
