TVS Apache RTR 310 New vs old: differences explained

TVS has updated its flagship naked, the Apache RTR 310, for 2025 with meaningful changes aimed at improving refinement, rideability and tech. Here’s a detailed look at everything that’s new on the updated streetfighter.

Updated TVS Apache RTR 310 vs 2024 model: sharper throttle response

TVS says one of the key areas of focus was refining the throttle response, especially at low speeds. The throttle map is now sensitive to not only throttle opening but also to the speed of throttle opening, with the aim of reducing the sharp and reactive nature of the bike in the lower gears. This update should go a long way in making the RTR 310 smoother to ride in the city.

Updated TVS Apache RTR 310 vs 2024 model: new rear sprocket

The 2025 RTR 310 swaps out its previous larger rear sprocket in favour of the smaller unit from the Apache RR 310. This change also helps to calm the nature of the motorcycle and boost highway cruising abilities.

Updated TVS Apache RTR 310 vs 2024 model: updated electronics

A new addition to the electronics suite is Drag Torque Control, which helps prevent rear-wheel hop or skidding during aggressive downshifts, adding a layer of safety during spirited or emergency braking. In addition to that, the 5-inch TFT screen has been updated with support for multiple languages and improved user interface elements. Now, though, TVS has gotten rid of the cooled seats, which debuted with the Apache RTR 310.

Keyless system & launch control (with BTO kit)

As part of the optional Dynamic Pro 2 kit, the RTR 310 now gets a keyless ignition system. This includes a key fob that allows for hands-free operation and adds convenience in daily use. Along with it, launch control has been introduced, which holds revs at around 7,250rpm.

Updated Apache RTR 310 vs 2024 model: new design elements

Visually, the RTR 310 remains largely unchanged, but there are a few small tweaks. It now gets a clear clutch cover borrowed from the RR 310, as well as knuckle guards and new sequential turn indicators as standard. The overall bodywork and design continue to look aggressive and sharp.

Updated Apache RTR 310 vs 2024 model: colours and pricing

The 2025 Apache RTR 310 is now available in four dual-tone colour options, each tied to a specific variant.

The Base variant, priced at Rs 2.40 lakh, comes only in Arsenal Black, while the Top variant, at Rs 2.57 lakh, is offered in Fury Yellow and Fiery Red. However, one needs to pay Rs 5,000 for the Fiery Red colour. 

Those opting for the Dynamic Pro kit get access to the Sepang Blue shade, with the fully loaded version (both kits) priced at Rs 3.03 lakh, but need to pay Rs 15,000 more for the Blue paint-scheme. The Dynamic and Dynamic Pro kits are priced at Rs 18,000 and Rs 28,000, respectively. TVS is also offering an introductory discount of Rs 10,000 on the Base and Top variants, effectively bringing the entry price down to Rs 2.40 lakh.
