TVS has its plate full as far as new launches are concerned. The company will be unveiling its next big thing (most probably its new electric two-wheeler) tomorrow at an event in Dubai. Post unveiling the mysterious product, the Hosur-based brand will be bringing out a new motorcycle.
Rumours are rife that TVS is planning to launch a naked streetfighter based on the brand’s 310cc platform that currently underpins four models including TVS’ own Apache RR 310 as well as BMW G 310 R, G 310 GS and G 310 RR. The new motorcycle, likely to be called Apache 310 R, will sit on top of the TVS’ lineup alongside its faired sibling.
TVS Apache 310 R teased
Reports suggest that TVS Apache 310 R will be launched sometime in September 2023. Ahead of its launch, the bikemaker has shared a teaser of the upcoming motorcycle on its social media handles. The short promo video reveals the stepped-up pillion seat of the Apache 310 R along with the handlebar.
It further reveals a floating tail section housing a pair of split grab rails. From the looks of it the pillion seat offers very little real estate. The handlebar is a single-piece unit unlike the clip-ons offered in Apache RR 310. TVS is expected to share more teasers of the upcoming Apache 310 R in the coming days which should reveal more details of the bike.
TVS Apache 310 R: Expected specs, features
The upcoming Apache 310 R is expected to borrow specs and features from its fully-faired sibling. It will be powered by a 312cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine that develops a 33.5 bhp at 9700 rpm and a peak torque of 27.3 Nm at 7700 rpm. This motor will be linked with a 6-speed transmission.
Hardware specs will include inverted front forks, a rear mono-shock, disc brake at both wheels accompanied by dual-channel ABS. Other features expected in the package include full-LED lighting, a Bluetooth-enabled colour TFT display, ride-by-wire throttle, and riding modes. More details regarding the Apache 310 R will be revealed in the next few days.
