View on TVS Apache Rtx 300 ADV

[Vijay Dhirawat]

What are the all yours opinions on the newly launched TVS Apache RTX 300 ADV bike?
Although it has a 300cc engine, it comes with loaded features like Dual‑channel ABS (switchable rear ABS), traction control, multiple ride modes (Urban, Rain, Tour, Rally), ride‑by‑wire, cruise control, tyre pressure monitoring system, 5‑inch TFT (map mirroring, smartphone connectivity), delivers 35.5 bhp power with 28.5 Nm torque.
Given that it's a fully equipped adventure bike at a relatively low cost, could it be considered eligible for IBR?"

Too early to say. A real life on road test is awaited. However personally i think TVS has done a great in churning out good performance numbers (power and torque) from a 300cc new engine. Also the bike looks beefy and madr for true adventure.

Usually IBR planning commission members discuss and decide whenever an exception need to be created for a in-catergory bike below 350cc. But, as I said, we need to wait a little more to say whether to allow it or not.

Agree with both of you. With the weight, power and torque figures the motorcycle should be able to keep up with fleet. Plus this motorcycle looks a lot bigger. Even bigger than H450 from some angles. Electronics are just chef's kiss for touring. Hope PC makes an exception in its favour.
