You may be wondering why a company like TVS would launch a streetfighter in today's day and age. It is a time when most manufacturers are moving away from street-oriented motorcycles to either cruisers or ADVS. A company like TVS first launched an overpriced electric scooter and now a streetfighter? TVS has lost its mind and seems to give its fanbase the opposite of what it wants. The RR 310 was already off to a rocky start; meanwhile, BMW already has a street fighter, and so does everyone else. The only one that has seen successful numbers is KTM, which just launched a new model for the Duke 250 and the 390. Where does a naked version of the RR 310 fit in in all this chaos? Well, I was surprised when I got the all-new RTR 310.
WHAT IS THE APACHE RTR 310?
Well, it's more than just a naked version of the RR 310. It now makes more power and more torque and has also lost some weight in the process. Unlike most street fighters that showcase their track performance, the RTR 310 isn't nearly as track-oriented. Instead, it's built to conquer the streets and focuses more on freestyle riding. That's right, TVS has built a motorcycle meant to pop wheelies comfortably, wiggle through traffic and indulge in all sorts of fun. They have reworked everything they'd already implemented on the RR 310 and added first-segment electronic features such as Dynamic Stability Control, Cornering Traction Control, Cornering Cruise Control, Wheelie Control and even Cornering ABS.
It also gets cruise control, a quick shifter and even a cooled seat! Quite frankly, I wasn't expecting that, and in theory, it sounds ready to conquer our roads. But we weren't on our roads; instead, we were on the streets of Bangkok.
