WIRED FOR PERMORMANCE - 2020 TVS APACHE RR 310 BS VI
Motown India|August 2020
The TVS Apache RR 310 has been very close to our hearts. Ever since it was launched a couple of years back, we have ridden it on the race tracks of Chennai, we have taken in to the Morni hills on the foothills of the Himalayas, we have also ridden it in the rains. We loved the 312.2cc single cylinder / engine that generated a peak power of 34hp @ 9700rpm and a peak torque of 27.3Nm@ 7700 rpm.

WIRED FOR PERMORMANCE - 2020 TVS APACHE RR 310 BS VI

The engine was mated to a 6-speed transmission. The 2020 RR 310 is identical to the 2019 model in terms of engine, chassis, suspension, brakes, and even power the engine produces. The new engine is, however a BS VI one.

Though this bike always came with a slipper clutch which is an ideal feature for a performance bike, it lacked a few basic things and we did emphasise on it. Let’s check out what the new bike has to offer.

FEATURES & TECHNOLOGY

Since on the face of it there seems to be no changes to this bike, this new 2020 TVS Apache RR 310 does get a new colour scheme. Earlier the bike was offered in Racing Red and Sinister Black colours, but now you continue to get the Racing Red colour with a white racing stripe, the other colour is Titanium Black. The dual-tone scheme has gloss black on the fairing and rear section along with matte grey on the tank and front fairing.

Earlier the windshield was one fixed piece but now it is detachable. The windshield can be detached with the help of an Allen key which is provided by the company. This means it is easier to clean it the windshield now.

The 2020 TVS Apache RR 310 gets Michelin Road 5 tyres which is supposed to be good even in wet conditions. The bike has however got heavier by 4.5 kg with a kerb weight of 174 kg.
