TVS RTX 300 ADV the Indian motorcycle market is buzzing with anticipation for the all-new TVS RTX 300 ADV, a motorcycle that marks TVS’s bold entry into the competitive adventure touring segment. With global rivals like the KTM 390 Adventure, BMW G 310 GS, Royal Enfield Himalayan 450, and Yezdi Adventure, the big question is: Can the TVS RTX 300 ADV outrun them in 2025?
In this post, we’ll dive deep into the specs, price, features, launch date, and real-world potential of the RTX 300 ADV to see if it’s truly built to conquer the roads — and the competition.
TVS RTX 300 ADV: Overview
Unveiled at the 2023 MotoSoul event in Goa, the TVS RTX 300 ADV is the company’s first dedicated adventure bike, and it promises a perfect blend of power, tech, and long-distance comfort. With a rugged ADV design, cutting-edge features, and a punchy engine, TVS has its eyes set on both domestic and international markets.
Engine & Performance
The RTX 300 ADV is expected to house a 312.2cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine — the same engine found in the TVS Apache RR 310. However, TVS may retune it for better low-end torque and off-road capabilities. Here’s what you can expect:
Power Output: ~33.5 HP
Torque: ~27.3 Nm
Transmission: 6-speed gearbox
Top Speed: ~160 km/h (estimated)
Mileage: 28-32 km/l (expected in mixed riding conditions)
While these figures are still unofficial, they put the RTX 300 ADV neck-and-neck with the KTM 390 Adventure in performance, with a slight edge in fuel efficiency.
Features: Loaded for Adventure
TVS is likely to arm the RTX 300 ADV with a host of modern features to attract touring enthusiasts. Expected features include:
Full-color TFT display with Bluetooth connectivity
Ride modes (Urban, Rain, Sport)
Dual-channel ABS (possibly switchable)
USD front forks and monoshock rear suspension
Off-road-ready dual-purpose tyres
LED headlamps and DRLs
Adjustable windscreen
Comfortable split seat and wide handlebars
Optional panniers and luggage mounts
TVS is also expected to offer smart connectivity through its SmartXonnect system, including navigation, ride analytics, and call/SMS alerts.
Price in India
The expected ex-showroom price of the TVS RTX 300 ADV is around ₹2.70 lakh to ₹2.90 lakh, placing it in the same bracket as its primary competitors. TVS is known for offering strong value, so it’s likely the RTX will undercut premium rivals on pricing while offering more tech.
Launch Date
The TVS RTX 300 ADV is expected to launch in India by mid-2025, possibly around July or August. With test mules already spotted and initial reveals done, TVS seems on track for a timely launch.
