TVS Apache RR310 [2020-2023]

Great sportsbike

Looks like a Ducati in red colour with a white stripe. Surprisingly for a sportsbike, the rider&#39;s position is very comfortable. My friend has bought this bike and says clutch is best as it is light. Sounds sporty too.

Comfy and sporty

I have bough this bike. Very good power and smooth engine. Worth the money paid. But the pillion's seat is a bit high for my wife. Otherwise very happy with my purchase.

TVS is great

The quality of TVS bikes is super. I am impressed with this new sportsbike. It's having a very sporty look, strong brakes and comfortable riding posture.

Shivank thinks the 2021 TVS Apache RR 310 is the best sports bike that money can buy in India. And before you dismiss it as a mere opinion of a fanboy, hear him out.

There are a few things that are certain in life – death, taxes, and the launch of a new TVS Apache RR 310 every year. Honestly, I’m not kidding. Since its launch in 2017-18, the RR 310 has been updated every year – the first update came in 2019, which was followed by the 2020 model, and now keeping the family tradition alive is the 2021 version, which just has been launched.

So, why does TVS keep on updating the RR 310? Let’s answer that simply by stating some facts. The 2017-18 RR 310 always felt like an incomplete product – it was more of a prototype than a final production model. TVS refined the package in 2019, which made it better, but the issues weren’t completely gone. It wasn’t until the 2020 or BS6 update that TVS turned the corner and made the RR 310 a complete motorcycle – something that it should have had been in the first place.

When I got to know about the new 2021 version, I wasn’t expecting much – there was no way you could better the 2020 version, or so I thought. However, TVS has&nbsp;pulled a rabbit out of the hat with the latest iteration of the bike. And I must say that after riding the 2021 RR 310 recently, I’m in awe of what TVS has achieved with its flagship product. In fact, I’d go as far as to say that the 2021 <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-bikes/tvs/apache-rr-310/" target="_blank">Apache RR 310</a> is the best sports bike that you can buy in India. Unpopular opinion as it might be, but allow me to explain...

Change is the only constant

Three updates in three years is a clear indication of the fact that <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-bikes/tvs/" target="_blank">TVS</a> takes the feedback&nbsp;from its customers and critics&nbsp;quite seriously. Not to mention, the company is&nbsp;also quite quick on its feet in addressing the complaints and shortcomings of the product. The 2020 version was near perfect, but then it left some enthusiasts wanting more – it wasn’t aggressive or racy enough, they said.

<img alt="2021 TVS Apache RR310 racing colour" height="720" src="/uploads/2021/09/2021-TVS-Apache-RR310-racing-colour.jpg" width="1280" />

TVS decided to answer that by coming up with a unique ‘Built to Order’ initiative for the RR 310 in India (more products will be added later). Think of it as an online configurator, which allows you to pick and choose performance parts for your RR 310. However, and here is the interesting part, instead of being bolted on at your local dealer, those parts will be factory-fitted. The best thing is that TVS is offering some serious options here, including fully adjustable suspension, more aggressive riding position, and so on.

There are two performance kits on offer – Dynamic and Race. The Dynamic kit adds a fully-adjustable front fork (20-step compression &amp; rebound and 15mm pre-load adjustment) and a rear suspension (20-step rebound and 10-step pre-load), along with an anti-rust brass-coated chain. The Race Kit will get knurled and raised foot-pegs (by 30mm) and revised clip-on bars – lowered and pulled back by 8 and 5 degrees, respectively. On top of this, you can now have your RR 310 in a racy TVS Racing livery – it looks gorgeous in the flesh, trust me.

The standard version has also received some minor updates over the 2020 model. For instance, it gets a new exhaust (design + sound), digital storage for documents in the TFT display, overspeed indicator, dynamic rev limiter, and a day trip meter.

A World of a Difference

Now, the bike that we tested at the MMRT (Madras Motor Race Track) was the fully-kitted out version, which means it was fitted with both Dynamic and Performance kits. And those add-ons definitely enhanced the dynamic abilities of the motorcycle.&nbsp;

For the first session, we kept the suspension at its base setting of 10-10-10 for the front compression, front rebound, and rear rebound, respectively. These are the standard settings that the regular version of the bike comes with. Just like before, I didn’t find anything to complain about here – the RR 310, even in its supposedly neutral suspension settings, handles beautifully. It’s precise, predictable, sure-footed, and flows around corners beautifully. It’s a hugely forgiving machine too, so for learners, it’s a perfect tool for building confidence.

The revised ergonomics allow for a more focused riding position, but it’s in no way uncomfortable or wrist-breaking. Plus, while cornering hard, you no longer have to worry about scraping pegs, as there’s more clearance now. That said, I do wish the pegs were a little more rear-set. In some of the corners, like the C2 or the fast-flowing section between C6 and C7, I found myself grating my boot against the tarmac while leaning. A more rear-set setup would have helped. But then, you’ve to remember that 90% of the riders won’t ride the bike like that on public roads, and in that sense, the new riding position is just right.

<img alt="2021 TVS Apache RR 310 Review Adjustable Suspension" height="720" src="/uploads/2021/09/2021-TVS-Apache-RR-310-review-adjustable-suspension.jpg" width="1280" />

After three laps, we pulled back into the pits, and this time, the suspension was adjusted for racier settings: 2-8-2. Right&nbsp;off the bat, the difference was evident – the front end firmed up because of reduced compression damping, and there wasn’t excessive nose-dive under hard braking like it was in the base settings. However, the reduced rebound damping, especially at the rear, made the ride jarring while going over the&nbsp;undulations of the track. Sure, the bike felt fully dialed in, but it was a little too much for me, for I could feel every imperfection on the tarmac – the bike was simply too reactive to even the smallest bump on the track.

For the next session, I increased the front compression damping to 5 and the rear rebound to 4, without changing the front rebound. This made the whole riding experience much, much better. It was neither too firm nor squishy like the standard setup. Around fast-flowing corners, the stability was superb and confidence-inspiring – I even managed to get my knee down (yay!) at C10 without trying too hard.

I never thought that adjustable suspension is needed on a motorcycle like the RR 310, but the adjustability&nbsp;it brings to the whole setup is quite impressive. There’s a clear difference in the way the bike behaves. And the more time you’ll spend tinkering with the settings, the better results you’ll have, both on the track and the road. TVS says that an amateur rider can improve their lap time by 3 seconds with the right suspension adjustments. And it doesn’t just work one way either – on the road, you can also adjust the suspension to be plusher. It’s a great value addition. The whole point is that it introduces you to the subtle nuances of motorcycling – something that’s otherwise reserved for high-end machines.

In terms of engine performance, the bike is unchanged from the previous model. The 310cc is markedly refined, but it does buzz at higher rpm. The ride-by-wire throttle is crisp and peppy in track mode, and the engine never runs out of steam at any point in time. Between mid and high revs, like from 4,000rpm to 8,000rpm, it is the most responsive. What’s more, the new exhaust finally produces deep and bassy noises like that of the RTR 200 – a small but much-needed update.

The brakes offer strong bite just like before, and the ABS in track mode is less intrusive. But I still find the brake lever to be a little too long for my liking, and the feedback is also a bit mushy.

Verdict

<img alt="2021 TVS Apache RR310 performance" height="720" src="/uploads/2021/09/2021-TVS-Apache-RR310-performance.jpg" width="1280" />

TVS has simply outdone itself in coming up with the 2021 RR 310. It has created a product that’s too hard to be faulted. And that’s why I said in the beginning that it’s the best sports bike that you can buy in India. Think about it. The RR 310 is simply gorgeous. You can ride it virtually every day. The engine has more than enough poke for all occasions. It’s packed to the brim with features. And now, with the introduction of adjustable suspension, it now feels right at home on the racetrack. Plus, it can also happily double up as a comfy sports tourer.&nbsp;I can vouch for this, for I have done multiple over 1,000-kilometre rides on the original RR 310 – it’s comfortable and supremely enjoyable. Tell me which bike can do all of this? Really, it’s the range of abilities of the RR 310 that none of its rivals can match.

Sure, <a href="https://www.autox.com/news/bike-news/2021-tvs-apache-rr310-launched-at-rs-260-lakh-109973/">it has become a little more expensive – the base price is up by 5,000 </a>– but the kit that’s on offer is priced quite reasonably. The 2021 TVS Apache RR 310, then, is all things to all people.

Having said that, I’d like to add that it isn’t yet the best version of the Apache RR 310, and you shouldn’t buy it. I say wait for the 2022 update, for TVS will definitely find some way or the other to better it and make us critics look silly again. Right, TVS?

2021 TVS Apache RR 310 Review: First Ride

Shivank thinks the 2021 TVS Apache RR 310 is the best sports bike that money can buy in India. And before you dismiss it as a mere opinion of a fanboy, hear him out, as he backs his opinion with some hard facts.

On the face of it, it’s the same old Apache RR 310, just with a BS-VI update. But after taking the new version out for a spin, we couldn’t help but be surprised by its transformation!

If there’s a motorcycle that makes me feel like a veteran auto journo, it’s the TVS Apache RR 310. And I say that because, in just over three years (of my five-year career), I’ve seen and reviewed three versions of the motorcycle. And I also happen to own the first and original version from 2017. It makes me feel like I’ve been around for a long time – making me, unarguably, an expert on the matter.&nbsp;

Jokes aside, the Apache RR 310 receives updates quicker than a politician changes their stand these days. And this brings us to the latest version, or the 2020 Apache RR 310.

Now, the new model is the BS-VI compliant version, which was necessary. But there’s more to it. In fact, there’s a heck of a lot more to it! We managed to get our hands on one recently, but instead of treating it as just another new bike, I’ve decided to review this new motorcycle from the perspective of an existing owner.

New Skin 
There’s no change in terms of design, and I’m perfectly fine with that. The RR 310 is an astonishing looking motorcycle as it is – a perfect combination of style and elegance. Why fix something that isn’t broken?&nbsp;

<img alt="2020 TVS Apache RR 310 Static" src="/uploads/2020/02/2020-TVS-Apache-RR-310-static.jpg" style="width: 642px; height: 336px;" />

However, to make it look ‘2020,’ there’s a new dual-tone paint job on offer – titanium black, to be precise. It looks very good in person, but that loud Apache moniker doesn’t really suit my tastes. In the new model, the party piece is the new 5-inch colour TFT display, which replaces the digital console of the old bike. It’s vibrant and lag-free. Not to mention, it’s packed to the brim with features – there’s Bluetooth connectivity for your smartphone, turn-by-turn navigation, on-board diagnostics, call alerts, and the works. Compared to the old bike, the new display is miles ahead.&nbsp;

Power Control 
The powertrain is the same 312cc single-cylinder motor, but it’s now BS-VI compliant. Is there a drop in power output? Well, yes, there is! In fact, there’s a big drop – when you pick up your spanking new bike from the showroom, it’ll only have around 26 horses as opposed to 34 horses in the previous version!

That’s right, but there’s a catch. You see, the RR 310 now comes with a ride-by-wire throttle, which allows the bike to have four different riding modes – Track, Sport, Urban, and Rain. The riding modes can be swapped-on-the-fly via controls on the switchgear, and it’s quite intuitive. In Urban and Rain mode, the engine is restricted to 25.5bhp and develops 25Nm of torque, while in Track and Sport mode, the motor is fully unleashed to deliver 33.5bhp and 27.3Nm – and this means that the power and torque outputs of the BS6 version are essentially the same.&nbsp;

But, wait, there’s still more to it. You see, the other two modes – Track and Sport – can only be activated by the service centre once the running-in period is over, which TVS says is any time after you complete 1,000 to 1,500 kilometres. So, what this means is that all new bikes will only have Urban and Rain mode at the time of the sale, with a restricted power output. And don’t you think that TVS is trying to pull a Volkswagen here. The company has homologated the motorcycle for both power outputs, meaning that even in unrestricted modes, the engine meets the BS6 emission norms.

<img alt="2020 TVS Apache RR 310 Colour Display" height="336" src="/uploads/2020/02/2020-TVS-Apache-RR-310-colour-display.jpg" width="642" />

Coming to the performance, it’s more or less unchanged – strong mid-range followed by an even stronger surge of power towards the top-end. However, in comparison to the old bike, the new version is much more refined – the throttle response is super crisp and there are hardly any vibrations at idle. It’s only when you cross 7,000rpm that it starts buzzing a bit.&nbsp;

Overall, though, it feels much better. I also have to say that in Track mode, the throttle response is a bit snappier and more responsive. The bike now feels more aggressive during hard riding, which I quite enjoyed around the racetrack. Like in the old bike, the six-speed gearbox is smooth and also comes clubbed with a slipper clutch.

Dancing Shoes 
The chassis, brakes, and suspension remain unchanged. But it’s got a new pair of shoes. Instead of the Michelin Pilot Sporty tyres of the old bike – which were heavily criticized for their lack of ‘feel’ and grip by owners – the new RR 310 comes shod with Michelin Road 5 tyres. And they make a world of a difference!&nbsp;

<img alt="2020 TVS Apache RR 310 Side View" src="/uploads/2020/02/2020-TVS-Apache-RR-310-review.jpg" style="width: 642px; height: 336px;" />

The Road 5 showcase the true potential of the RR’s chassis. You can now push the bike harder around corners, and it just grips and sticks to the tarmac without throwing any surprises. In fact, it feels a lot more stable and confident during quick direction changes. Because of grippier rubber, there’s more feedback from the brakes, too. The ABS is less intrusive than before, and that’s because it’s been calibrated differently for different riding modes. The improved grip levels are also a factor.

<img alt="2020 TVS Apache RR 310 Rear Side" src="/uploads/2020/02/2020-TVS-Apache-RR-310-rear-side.jpg" style="width: 642px; height: 336px;" />

An owner’s take 
I don’t want to sound like a biased owner, but I’ve never really said anything bad about the RR 310 – I’ve always loved it for the kind of all-round performance and utility it offers. That said, I absolutely hated the engine vibrations in my bike, and I’ve been quite vocal about that. The thing is, TVS has carefully listened to owners’ inputs and has addressed them. And while it usually takes other manufacturers 5 to 6 years to iron out such glitches, TVS has done that in just over two years!&nbsp;

Put simply, the 2020 Apache RR 310 is what the original bike should have been in the first place. More importantly, it only commands a premium of just 12,000 rupees over the outgoing model. And that’s the only thing that infuriates me – I wish I could have waited a little longer to buy the 2020 RR 310. &nbsp;

2020 TVS Apache RR 310 Review: First Ride

Not only the 2020 iteration of the TVS Apache RR310 gets updated to meet the stringent BS-VI emission standards, but also there are a number of essential updates to it, making the flagship TVS more desirable and fetching.

Not-so-old wine in a not-so-new bottle, the 2019 TVS Apache RR 310 is a significantly improved product over its still-fresh predecessor.

Midlife makeovers are commonplace in the automotive industry. Usually, a product has a lifecycle of around 7 years, post which it’s replaced by a ‘next-gen’ or an ‘all-new’ version. This means that, normally, mid-life updates come in not before two-and-a-half to three years after a product’s launch. But not so in the case of the TVS Apache RR 310!&nbsp;

TVS has decided to rush things a bit, and has launched the 2019 version of their most premium offering only a year-and-a-half after its market launch. Why? Well, some not-so-positive customer feedback in terms of the bike’s refinement – as a result of which, they’ve seen lower-than-expected sales. TVS, however, claims that the Apache RR 310 is the best-selling fully faired motorcycle in the segment. Either way, the fact is that the TVS Apache RR 310 has now been updated – and the new version is already on sale.

What new bits, again?

<img alt="TVS Apache RR 310 Static" src="/uploads/2019/05/2019-TVS-Apache-RR-310-static2.jpg" />

On the face of it, there doesn’t appear to be much! The 2019 Apache RR 310 is mechanically identical to the outgoing model, save for the addition of a slipper clutch – which, incidentally, can be retrofitted on the outgoing model as well.&nbsp;

Additionally, you also get a new gloss-black paint scheme with white racing stripes running across the bodywork. The other colour option is red, which remains unchanged. Matte black is not available anymore. The price has gone up by `3,000 – the TVS Apache RR 310 now carries a price-tag of `2.27 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi). For the most part though, the motorcycle remains largely unchanged.

That sounds quite insignificant, but... 
…there’s more to it. A new paint job or the addition of a slipper clutch may sound underwhelming at first, but TVS has been silently improving the TVS Apache RR 310 over the past few months based on the feedback from its customers. A couple of weeks ago, TVS rolled out free updates for existing RR 310 bikes, which included an ECU update, beefier bar-end weights and a new chain roller. According to TVS, the ECU update improves low-end power delivery, the thicker bar-ends negate handlebar vibrations and the updated chain roller reduces chain noise, and also enhances its life.&nbsp;

According to TVS, all these minor changes result in an improved package. Additionally, the inclusion of a slip-and-assist clutch is said to have made the powertrain – the gearbox, to be precise – more refined and smoother. But do these changes really make a difference in the way that the new bike rides and feels. Well, TVS invited us to the Chennai racetrack to find out.&nbsp;

So, is it any better? 
Let’s begin with the new gloss black paint. I, for one, definitely prefer the new gloss finish over the matte black of the original. Sure, the matte finish gave the TVS Apache RR 310 a stealthy look, but this new colour scheme – with contrasting white stripes – has an unmistakable sheen, and it stands out. Also, having lived with a matte black RR 310 for over a year – it was a part of our long-term fleet – I can tell you that it requires a little extra effort to maintain its lustreless shine on a day-to-day basis. So, if you don’t have expertise in bike detailing, or are just plain lazy, the gloss paint finish is definitely a welcome change.

<img alt="TVS Apache RR 310 Engine" src="/uploads/2019/05/2019-TVS-Apache-RR-310-engine.jpg" />

In terms of the riding experience, the updated TVS Apache RR 310 definitely feels a lot smoother. Sure, the 312cc single-cylinder motor still springs to life in a gruff manner, but once you open the throttle, it becomes smoother. However, you can still feel some handlebar vibrations, but the body panels, especially the tank, are properly bolted together. On our test bike, I couldn’t hear them rattling, which sadly wasn’t the case with our long-term bike.

Performance wise, the engine’s behaviour is exactly the same as before. Great low-end torque with a flat midrange, followed by a very, very strong top-end. Out on the track, this really works well because when you’re on the gas, you don’t really have the time to think about vibrations, for the engine keeps you entertained with its seamless torque delivery. Not to mention the fact that the RR 310 felt aggressively fast on the tight layout of the Chennai racetrack.

Attacking corners on the TVS Apache RR 310 continues to be a thoroughly enjoyable affair. Thanks to its top cycle parts – a trellis frame, beefy 41mm Kayaba front fork and a mono-shock at the rear – the RR 310 has always been a fun and forgiving motorcycle, especially when ridden hard. Thankfully, that hasn’t changed with the new bike. The fun factor is still intact and the composure with which it leans in and out of corners is definitely praiseworthy.&nbsp;

Having said that, it’s still not a pure track tool. While the suspension feels taut, you can sense it’s not firm enough for hardcore track riding. The Michelin tyres aren’t cut out for track riding as well – when pushed hard, feedback from the wheels is quite inert. They grip well in normal riding conditions though. And, having done one too many long-distance rides on the old bike with the very same tyres, I’d say that they are quite good in the real world. But, on a racetrack, they aren’t the best option for the RR 310.

<img alt="Apache RR 310 Motion View" src="/uploads/2019/05/2019-TVS-Apache-RR-310-motion.jpg" />

The brakes are still very strong, but the front lever lacks feedback, and I find it to be a bit too long. On the track, the braking performance was quite impressive though. For instance, C2 at MMRT is a tight right-hander, and you enter it with a lot of speed. With the TVS Apache RR 310, I could brake really hard, load-up the front nicely – thanks also in part to its slightly softer front setup – and then take the desired line while hitting the apex like a seasoned racer. It’s a very enjoyable exercise. That said, the riding posture is still very much like a sport-tourer with forward-set foot-pegs, which also means that you run out of clearance very easily.

What about the ‘race tuned’ slipper clutch? 
It works very well, and you don’t necessarily have to be a racer to figure this out. The downshifts are super smooth, especially when you drop the cogs hard before entering a corner. No wheel hopping, no fishtailing and no back breaking jerk. I remember going down from 5th to 3rd gear around a corner in a very clumsy manner, but the slipper clutch did its job to keep the rear wheel grounded.

Apart from canyon carving, the slipper clutch makes the clutch action lighter by around 20% in the TVS Apache RR 310, according to TVS. So, it’s likely to be quite helpful during city rides. We, however, aren’t in a situation to comment on its stalling issues, something which we regularly faced with our long-term bike in the past. We can only comment on it when we get to ride the new motorcycle in city traffic.

Verdict 
There’s no denying that the Apache RR 310 is more or less unchanged. To be brutally honest, the riding experience is largely unchanged – even the addition of a slipper clutch doesn’t make a world of a difference to the way it rides. However, the new version definitely feels a lot more refined and smoother thanks to the updates. And special props to TVS for ironing out these small niggles in such a short time.

However, for the next update, can we finally do something about that exhaust note? Perhaps add more bass and oomph to go along with the exotic look of the motorcycle? I know TVS is listening – and I’m counting on them to bring in yet another mid-cycle update very soon. &nbsp;
