It comes with a price tag of Rs 2.43 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi) and is based on the existing Apache RR 310.

The Apache RTR 310 has an incredibly aggressive appearance, with a forward-leaning riding posture, rear-set footpegs, an exposed rear sub-frame, sharp tank shrouds, raised rear, split seats, and split LED headlamps at the front, complemented by LED taillights at the rear.
