Production-spec TVS Apache RTR 300 spotted without camouflage

The production model based on the TVS Akula concept has recently been spotted without any camouflage during one of its dyno test runs. The bike maker had showcased the Akula concept at the 2016 Auto Expo in February last year, while the production model, which will likely be called the Apache RTR 300, is expected to be launched in July 2017. It was previously spotted in a blue shade, revealing the front and rear end design.

The latest set of spy shots reveals some new details about TVS' upcoming flagship motorcycle. The front disc brake appears to get an ABS ring, thus confirming the presence of ABS on the bike. The up-side down forks at the front have been finished in a golden yellow shade. The twin headlamp setup is likely to get a full LED layout along with DRLs.

The TVS Apache RTR 300 is based on the same platform that underpins the BMW G 310 R. It was built under the TVS-BMW Motorrad alliance. The two bikes also share their powertrain setup, which is a 313cc, single cylinder liquid cooled engine that is mated to a 6-speed gearbox. However, the power and torque outputs on the Apache RTR 300 are expected to be tweaked to suit the bike's characteristics.
