Motorcycle enthusiasts were waiting hot on heels for the Akula concept TVS showed a while back. The concept showed a lot of promise as a hardcore track machine and carbon fiber body works. Well, the bike has been launched in India by the name TVS Apache RR310. Gone is the carbon fiber, but rightly so as it is an entry level premium sports bike.
The Apache RR310 gets a 312 cc, single cylinder,4 valve, 4 stroke liquid cooled engine making 34 PS@9700 rpm and 27.3 NM@7700 rpm. All of that propels the RR310 from 0-60kmph in 2.9 seconds. TVS claims the RR310 to have the lowest drag coefficient in its class-0.26. The engine is mated to a 6-Speed gearbox. In addition to that, the bike also gets an advanced trellis frame for precise track handling. To aid the handling traits further, the bigger Apache also gets Dual Channel ABS, which proves to be a big boon to riders.Shod at the wheels are Michelin Street Sport tyres.
The engine gets a unique reverse inclined DOHC (double overhead cam) engine with LCOC (liquid-cooled oil coolant) technology; which facilitates a compact layout for an ideal power-to-weight ratio and better mass centralization.
The feature list also includes bi-LED twin projector headlamps, race-inspired vertical speedo-cum-tachometer.
The bike is available in two colors, Racing Red and Sinister Black.
The TVS Apache RR310 is lookin great, and we’ll ride it soon and let you know if the ride holds good to the great looks! Stay Tuned!
