TVS is offering performance upgrades for the Apache RR 310 for no additional cost.

The upgrades include an updated ECU, heavier bar-ends for reduced vibrations, soft chain roller and a reworked visor. TVS is sending out text messages to customers to get the upgrades installed at their local dealership or during the time of service.

The Apache RR 310 was launched in December 2017. It shares its underpinnings with the BMW G 310R and is powered by a 312.2cc, liquid-cooled, single-cylinder engine that produces 33.5 BHP @ 9,700 rpm and 27.3 Nm of torque @ 7,700 rpm. The bike comes with a 6-speed gearbox. 

Brochure scans of the upcoming TVS Akula 310 have leaked. The leaked images indicate that the production-spec bike might be called TVS Apache RR 310S instead. Earlier this year, the same name was revealed though a trademark document.

TVS first showcased the bike in concept form at the 2016 Delhi Auto Expo. Since then, test mules of the bike have been spotted on many occasions. However, there has been no word about its launch date yet.

The TVS Apache RR 310S has spawned out of the partnership between TVS Motors and BMW Motorrad. The fully-faired bike is expected to be offered with twin-headlamps with LED DRLs, a digital instrument panel, upside-down front forks and a monoshock rear suspension. 

The bike will employ the same 313cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine as the BMW G 310R. On the BMW, this engine produces 33.5 BHP @ 9,500 rpm and 28 Nm of torque @ 7,500 rpm. The engine is mated to a 6-speed transmission. TVS is likely to offer the engine in a different state of tune. Besides the engine, the TVS Apache RR 310S will come equipped with disc brakes at both ends and it might be offered with ABS as well.

With the official launch of the Apache RTR 310S nearing, more spy shots and details of the motorcycle are surfacing on the internet. One such set of spy shots offers a clearer look into how TVS plans to equip its new flagship motorcycle.

The images reveal that the bike will be equipped with twin-projectors headlamps and will also feature daytime running lights (DRLs). The large tail light assembly appears to get LED inserts that are shaped to resemble devil horns. A vertically mounted all-digital instrument cluster is also visible. Interestingly, the clip-on handlebars are mounted slightly higher and thus result in a riding posture that isn't very aggressive. The large windshield at the front also points towards the fact that TVS might position the Apache RTR 310S as a sports tourer.

The bike gets an upside-down fork suspension at the front and a monoshock at the rear. Both front and rear wheels are equipped with disc brakes, though there are no signs of the presence of ABS on the spotted bike. However, it is being said that TVS will surely offer the feature with the final production version of the Apache RTR 310S, at least as an option.

The Apache RTR 310S is based on the same platform that underpins the BMW G 310 R. It will be powered by a 313cc single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine that will be mated to a 6-speed gearbox. TVS is expected to launch the bike around the festive season this year.

The production-spec model based on the TVS Akula concept might be named as the Apache RR 310S. This name has surfaced through a new filing in the patent design and trademark department of the Government of India.

The Akula concept was showcased at the 2016 Auto Expo. The production model has already been spotted a couple of times, revealing major design cues of the upcoming entry-level sportsbike. The Apache RR 310S will feature a fully-faired layout with a twin-headlamp setup at the front. The headlamp will likely get a full LED layout along with DRLs. The bike is also expected to get golden upside down forks at the front, a monoshock setup at the rear and a digital instrument cluster.

The Apache RR 310S has been jointly developed under the TVS Motors - BMW Motorrad alliance. It is based on the same platform as the BMW G 310R. Both these bikes also share the same engine, which is a 313 cc, liquid-cooled, single-cylinder block that is mated to a 6-speed gearbox.

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.

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.

TVS is reported to be gearing up to launch the Apache RTR 310 in India in July 2017. An official announcement about the launch schedule hasn't yet been made by the bike maker though.

The RTR 310 will be a production model based on the Akula concept that was showcased at the 2016 Auto Expo in Greater Noida. The final production name of the bike hasn't been confirmed yet, but it is expected to be introduced as the company's flagship offering under the Apache series.

The Apache RTR 310 has been jointly developed under the partnership of BMW Motorrad and TVS Motors. It will be based on the same platform that underpins the BMW G 310 R and will be powered by a 313 cc, liquid-cooled, single-cylinder engine that will be available with a 6-speed manual gearbox. While the G 310 R is a naked street fighter, the Apache RTR 310 will be a fully-faired model.

It was earlier expected that BMW will launch the G 310 R in India ahead of the TVS Apache RTR 310. However, the German bike maker is reported to have delayed the G 310 R's launch to the end of this year. As a result, it is the Apache RTR 310 that is likely to be the first bike developed under the BMW-TVS alliance to be introduced in the country.

The Apache RTR 310 is expected to compete against the KTM RC 390, Kawasaki Ninja 300 and the upcoming Benelli 302R.

The TVS Akula has been spotted testing on public roads for the first time. The heavily camouflaged test mule was reportedly snapped testing on the outskirts of Bangalore. The Akula will be the first fully faired motorcycle from the TVS Motor Co. It will also be the largest capacity motorcycle ever produced by the brand.

The Akula was showcased as a concept at the 2016 Auto Expo. It will be built as part of the TVS-BMW Motorrad JV, and will thus be based on the BMW G 310 R naked motorcycle. Though the test mule spotted was camouflaged to disguise the final design, it is clear from the spy shots that TVS has retained most of the design cues of the concept bike, especially at the front.

Powering the TVS Akula will be the same 313 cc, liquid cooled, single-cylinder engine that does the powering duty in the BMW G310 R. It is expected to develop around 34 BHP and 28 Nm of torque, and will likely be mated to a 6-speed gearbox.

The recent spy shots have started rumours that TVS is planning to launch the Akula in India, before the BMW G310R is introduced. Earlier reports have already confirmed that the BMW G310 R will not launch in India this year. As a result, TVS does have plenty of time to test and launch the Akula. Once launched, the TVS Akula will go head-on against the KTM RC390, Yamaha YZF-R3, and Kawasaki Ninja 300.
