TVS Motors is gearing up for the global unveiling of the updated TVS Apache RR 310, which is set to take place on September 16, 2024. According to a recent invitation sent to various publications, the world premiere will showcase a new model, with a teaser highlighting the fastest lap record achieved at the Chang International Circuit in Thailand.
A few days ago, a test mule of the RR 310 was spotted, featuring front winglets typically seen on high-performance superbikes like the Ducati Panigale V4 and BMW S1000RR. These aerodynamic additions significantly enhance the bike’s downforce, improving stability during high-speed cornering and braking. At speeds of 180kmph, these winglets can generate a downforce of 30-50kg, providing greater control and safety.
In the teaser, the Apache RR 310 achieved an impressive lap time of 1:49.742 with a top speed of 215.9kmph. For comparison, the race-spec version of the RR 310 set a lap time of 1:50.850 and reached a top speed of 211.3kmph at the same track in November 2022.
We anticipate that TVS will introduce several advanced features in the updated RR 310, such as traction control, wheelie control, cruise control, a bi-directional quick shifter, and multiple riding modes. There may also be updates to the bike’s instrument console, along with a fresh new look and color options.
The current Apache RR 310 is powered by a 313cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled, four-valve DOHC engine, producing 34PS at 9,700rpm and 27.3Nm of torque at 7,700rpm, paired with a six-speed gearbox. However, expectations are high for TVS to optimize the engine further, potentially surpassing the performance of the Apache RTR 310, which delivers 35.6PS and 28.7Nm of torque. One of the key areas for improvement is reducing the engine’s vibration levels, an issue that was more noticeable in the RTR 310, with TVS even organizing a special camp to address problems like high vibrations and throttle response lag.
As excitement builds for the unveiling, all eyes are on the upcoming 2024 Apache RR 310, which promises to set new standards in performance and rider experience.
