The Honda CB300R is the lightest in this comparison
All three motorcycles compared here are likely to be a prospective owner’s first step into the 30+hp segment. It’s important that these bikes have accessible seat heights, and in that respect, they’re only a smidge apart from one another.
The Speed 400 is the heaviest of the lot but leads with a superior power-to-weight ratio and the largest fuel tank. The Honda CB300R is the lightest here and also has the smallest fuel tank, but it edges out the TVS in terms of power-to-weight ratio. The TVS sits right between the two.

2025 TVS Apache RTR 310 vs rivals: features
The Apache RTR 310 is the only one here to get a TFT dash
The Apache RTR 310 continues TVS’ trend of offering segment-first features and even some from far pricier bikes. As standard, it offers a 5-inch TFT dash, traction control, cruise control, drag torque control and rear-wheel lift mitigation. The cooled rider’s seat, offered earlier, has now been omitted.
In addition to this, the Dynamic Kit (available under the BTO package) adds fully adjustable suspension and a tyre pressure monitoring system. There’s also a second package, the Dynamic Pro Kit; it includes keyless ignition and launch control and makes all riding aids lean-sensitive.
Triumph, on the other hand, equips the Speed 400 with a digi-analogue instrument cluster featuring a vertical rev counter. Its safety suite includes traction control and dual-channel ABS.
The Honda keeps things simple with an LCD dash that includes a gear-position indicator and dual-channel ABS. It even misses out on Honda’s traction control system, which is available on the CB350 range.
