After recently introducing its first-ever ADV, the Apache RTX, in India, TVS has increased its prices. Interestingly, the base and top variants remain priced at Rs 1.99 lakh and Rs 2.14 lakh, respectively, but the BTO (Built-To-Order) version has seen a price hike of Rs 5,000, now costing Rs 2.34 lakh, compared to its previous price of Rs 2.29 lakh.
All prices are ex-showroom. Being the BTO model, the bike sets itself apart from the other two variants with a few upgrades, such as a unique colour option, adjustable suspension at both ends, and a brass-coated chain. That said, the powertrain and core design remain the same.
Typical of an ADV, the bike exudes an aggressive style, with elements such as a beak-style fender. It comes with semi-faired styling, a tall adjustable windscreen. Overall, the bike flaunts a practical posture that suits urban travel as well as touring duties.
The entry-level Apache RTX is a well-equipped option for its affordable price, offering four riding modes (Urban, Rain, Tour, and Rally), as well as three levels of ABS and dual traction control settings. It also comes with cruise control, along with adjustable clutch and brake levers. However, it lacks smartphone connectivity, navigation, and top-box compatibility.

Moving to the mid-spec Top variant, riders benefit from a range of premium features. These include smartphone map mirroring and a variable-intensity headlamp.
The BTO trim is the most comprehensive option, offering customisation for enhanced capability and comfort. It comes with a tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS), with adjustable front and rear suspension, and a brass-coated chain. An exclusive Viper Green colour marks a visual distinction.
