TVS Apache RTR Spotted on Test Rides

TVS is entering the adventure motorcycle (ADV) market with a new model, set to rival KTM’s Duke 250 Adventure, Yezdi Adventure, and BMW G310 GS. The bike features a cross-over style design, with alloy wheels, 19-inch front and 17-inch rear setup, and a beak-like front end. It has split seats, all-LED lighting, and a tall stance, making it suitable for both on-road and off-road riding. The ADV features USD forks and a mono-shock at the rear, with expected preload adjustable suspension and ride-by-wire technology. This technology enables riding modes and switchable traction control. The bike is expected to launch in the first half of 2025 and will be powered by the RT-XD4 engine, which displaces 299cc and produces 35hp and 28.5Nm of torque. The test unit was spotted with accessories, suggesting a range of aftermarket options will be available.
