TVS Motor Company has just pulled the wraps off the 2025 Apache RR 310, and while this fully-faired single-cylinder sportbike remains a staple of the Indian market, its latest updates have the kind of polish you’d expect from a much more premium machine.
With fresh tech, sharper looks, and a nod to the brand’s racing roots, this update is a big deal for riders who want everyday usability without giving up the thrills of performance riding.
Though the BMW G 310 series—based on this very platform—has quietly exited stage left in the Indian market, TVS’ 310 lineup shows no signs of slowing down. In fact, the RR 310 has built quite a reputation for itself as one of the most sophisticated sportbikes under 400cc. Let’s dive into the details.
For the 2025 model year, power still comes from a 312.2cc liquid-cooled single, mounted in a reverse-inclined layout. It pumps out 38 horsepower at 9,700 rpm and 29 Nm (21.4 pound-feet) of torque at 7,600 rpm. That may not sound like much in a world of 200-horsepower superbikes, but with a kerb weight of just 174 kg (384 lbs), the RR 310 keeps things agile, responsive, and quick enough for track-day fun.
TVS retained the four ride modes—Track, Sport, Urban, and Rain—which adjust power delivery and ABS sensitivity. A ride-by-wire throttle and slipper clutch help make the most of the engine’s output, while the chassis remains sharp and flickable.
Here’s where things get spicy. The 2025 RR 310 now comes with cornering drag torque control (RT-DSC), which is a weird way of calling cornering traction control. Nonetheless, it's a feature rarely seen in this segment. Plus, launch control also makes its debut, along with a second-gen race computer that can now be set to multiple languages. Other updates include slick new 8-spoke alloy wheels, sequential LED indicators, and refinements to the TFT display.
TVS is also continuing its Built-To-Order (BTO) program, letting riders add factory-fit upgrades like adjustable suspension (Dynamic Kit), sportier ergonomics (Dynamic Pro Kit), and a new Sepang Blue Race Replica livery. The Race Replica option is styled after the brand’s ARRC machine, so it'll surely be attractive to those looking to rep TVS' racing colors both on track on their daily commute.
So yeah, this is clearly a solid, beginner-friendly sportbike. And the next logical thing to ask is whether or not there’s a place for it beyond the Indian market. That’s the big question. While TVS has never officially sold the Apache RR 310 outside of Asia, the bike’s connection to BMW helped it find a way into global markets under a different badge. Nevertheless, it’s unclear whether TVS will try to bring the RR 310 to new markets on its own.
But if they do, it could make a strong case for itself. In a world where lightweight sportbikes are often stuck in the past, the RR 310 stands out with features that even some 600s can’t match. For now, Indian riders get to enjoy the latest evolution of a genuinely cool bike—one that proves performance and technology don’t have to break the bank.
