TVS Apache RTX price in Lohardaga

Since you are a beginner, we'd suggest that you start with something a little less powerful and easier to manage. As you've mentioned that you have an interest in mild off-road riding, the Hero Xpulse 210 would be a great place to start. It is a fun bike to ride, very comfortable in the city, and it will be a good motorcycle for you to hone your off-road skills on. Once you've gained some confidence, you can look at bigger ADV motorcycles. But if your heart is set on one of the above two bikes that you mentioned, we'd recommend you try out the Apache RTX 300. 

For your usage, in the cruiser space, you can take a look at the Royal Enfield Classic / Bullet 350 as well as any of the three Honda CB350 models. All bikes have relaxed, smooth engines, spacious seats and great suspension comfort. 

In the ADV space, options like the TVS Apache RTX 300 and KTM 250 Adventure can be considered for their punchy - but not overwhelming - performance, spacious seats and comfortable ride quality, as well as luggage carrying capability. 

Take thorough test rides of all shortlisted options before you decide.

Considering your requirements, we would recommend you choose between the KTM 250 Adventure and TVS Apache RTX 300. Both have good performance, are spacious, have comfortable suspension, more than enough ground clearance and will be fuel efficient because of their smaller displacement. Between the two, our pick would be the RTX because of its lower price point while offering more performance and features. 

The most compelling option in the 300cc space currently is the TVS Apache RTX 300, with its peppy performance, great comfort and extensive feature list at a tantalizing price. Since this is a very new product, we would advise you to wait for a while before purchasing it, so any teething issues that emerge can be ironed out. Something that's similarly priced and capable is the KTM 250 Adventure, which is also worth considering. 

The Himalayan 450 is a good upgrade. There was a new Mana Black variant of the Himalayan 450 unveiled at EICMA 2025, which gets accessories to make it more rugged, along with cross-spoked wheels. Other ADVs you can check out are the KTM 390 Adventure X and the TVS RTX 300. We expect the BMW F 450 GS to be launched in India next year, and that looks really promising. We suggest you take a test ride of all bikes before making a purchase. 

Both bikes have good suspension and will be quite comfortable on broken roads you may traverse during your commute. The Xpulse 210 will, of course, have a lower performance ceiling compared to the larger Apache RTX 300. However, it will be more affordable to buy and maintain since it’s a simpler and smaller machine.

Considering that the RTX is a brand-new product built on a new platform, we would recommend going with the Xpulse in case any teething issues emerge on the TVS.
