TVS Apache RTR 310 (Akula) spotted without camouflage

The upcoming TVS Apache RTR 310 has been spotted in India without any camouflage. Previous reports have suggested that the bike will likely be launched in the country in the month of July 2017.

The Apache RTR 310 is basically the production-version of the Akula concept that was showcased at last year's auto expo. TVS hasn't revealed the final production name of the bike yet, but it is expected to be sold under the Apache line-up. Once launched, this new motorcycle will become TVS' flagship product.

The spy shots indicate that the production-spec model won't come with the concept's carbon fibre finish on the bodywork. While the overall design is similar to that of the Akula concept, TVS designers have slightly toned down the styling to make the bike production-friendly. Visible design cues include dual headlamps, a large windscreen, a vertically oriented digital instrument cluster and clip-on handlebars. The bike gets upside down forks at the front and a monoshock suspension setup at the rear.

The Apache RTR 310 has been developed under the company's alliance with BMW Motorrad. It is thus the second product to come out of this Indo-German partnership, after the BMW G 310 R, which is yet to be launched in India. The Apache RTR shares its platform with the G 310 R and it will draw power from a 313cc, single cylinder liquid cooled engine. The power and torque outputs are expected to be manipulated to suit the bike's characteristics. Transmission duties will be handled by a 6-speed transmission.
