TVS Motor Company today made a bold move by launching its first dedicated adventure touring motorcycle, the TVS RTX 300, in India. With a brand-new platform, a potent 299 cc engine, and features to rival the KTM 250 Adventure and Royal Enfield Scram 440, this bike signals TVS’s ambition to expand into the adventure motorcycle segment.
Why the TVS RTX 300 Matters
For years, TVS has been strong in commuter and sport segments (Apache, RTR, etc.). But adventure touring is a space dominated by niche brands. The TVS RTX 300 is TVS’s answer to that — a serious attempt to compete with mid-capacity adventure bikes. It’s an exciting development for Indian riders wanting more from a home-grown brand.
Key Specs & Features – TVS RTX 300
Here’s a breakdown of what we know so far about the TVS RTX 300:
| Feature | Spec / Detail |
|---|---|
| Engine | New 299 cc, liquid-cooled “RTX D4” |
| Power / Torque | ~35 bhp, 28.5 Nm peak torque |
| Transmission | 6-speed gearbox |
| Frame & Suspension | Steel trellis frame; upside-down (USD) front fork + mono-shock rear |
| Wheels | 19-inch front / 17-inch rear |
| Brakes | Disc brakes at both ends |
| Expected Features | Colour TFT display, ride modes, traction control (likely) |
| Positioning / Rivals | KTM 250 Adventure, RE Scram 440 |
Visually, the RTX 300 has a commanding presence — a wide headlamp assembly with a tall windscreen, muscular side panels, and a split seat with a luggage rack. The design signals intent: this is built for both road and off-road escapades.
Pricing & On-Road Figures (Tentative) – TVS RTX 300
While the official ex-showroom price is yet to be confirmed, here are some estimated on-road prices in key Indian cities (for guidance):
- Mumbai: ₹ 2,34,505
- Bangalore: ₹ 2,48,935
- Delhi: ₹ 2,28,535
- Hyderabad: ₹ 2,42,465
- Chennai: ₹ 2,36,495
- Kolkata: ₹ 2,32,515
If TVS prices it aggressively, it could be a game-changer in the sub-400 cc adventure segment.
How It Stacks Against Rivals – TVS RTX 300
Against KTM 250 Adventure
The KTM 250 Adventure is well established, with a strong brand image and off-road capability. But if the RTX 300 delivers solid performance, features, and pricing, it could pose a serious rival.
Against Royal Enfield Scram 440
The Scram 440 banks on classic RE appeal, torque, and brand loyalty. The RTX 300’s more modern architecture and tech features might attract riders who prefer advanced features and lighter handling.
What to Watch & What Remains Unknown – TVS RTX 300
- Price surprise: How aggressively will TVS price it to compete with KTM and RE?
- Feature delivery: Will things like ride modes, traction control, and TFT display actually make it to the launch variant?
- Real-world performance: Official claims are one thing — how it handles on roads and trails remains to be seen.
- Service & support: TVS’s dealership network is strong in India — if they can back this product well, that will help adoption.
The TVS Apache RTX 300 starts from ₹1.99 lakh (introductory price, ex-showroom, Bengaluru) for the base variant. The Top variant is priced at ₹2.19 lakh, and with all the bells and whistles, the BTO variant will set you back by ₹2.29 lakh (ex-showroom, Bengaluru). pic.twitter.com/4xxyEl9svf
