Back in 2017, when our editor rode the first-ever TVS Apache rr 310, he was clear about one thing: it was among the best-handling motorcycles he had ever ridden. Seven years later, after some fast laps on the latest version of this sport bike around the coaStt racetrack in coimbatore (tamil nadu), i can confidently say that the appeal remains intact. actually, this is easily the best rr 310 yet.
Before we get into the properly good stuff, let’s address the changes seen on the exterior. the most obvious ones are the winglets on the fairing and the transparent clutch-cover. tVS claim that the former are good for up to three kilograms of downforce. on the fast and flowing coaStt, speeds in excess of 150 km/h were not difficult to achieve but the effect of the winglets was hardly noticeable. interestingly, the racing motorcycle based on the rr 310 that holds the top speed record around the chang circuit in thailand has no winglets. the transparent clutch-cover is a nice touch. it makes for an air of sophistication and style that complements the race-inspired design well. our primary concern is that it should not fog up over time and tVS have guaranteed against such an occurrence. while the rr 310 continues to be offered in race replica and red colours, the black paint scheme has been replaced by a Bomber Grey with red wheels. certainly catches the eye.
