The Indian adventure biking landscape has welcomed an exciting new contender. TVS Motor Company commenced nationwide deliveries of its much-anticipated Apache RTX 300 in late November, just weeks after its market launch in October. Priced aggressively from ₹1.99 lakh (ex-showroom), this motorcycle aims to democratize advanced rally-raid technology for the masses.
Blending Tech and Accessibility
The TVS Apache RTX 300 is not just another adventure tourer. It represents a strategic move to inject serious off-road capability into the entry-level segment. The bike comes loaded with features typically reserved for more expensive models. Riders get the advantage of multiple ride modes, allowing them to tailor performance to different conditions. Safety and control are enhanced with switchable ABS, while the adjustable suspension ensures comfort is customizable for both tarmac and trail.
Adding a modern touch are integrated connectivity features, all packaged at a highly competitive price point. The primary promise of the Apache RTX 300 is clear: to make advanced adventure riding accessible for a wider audience. It is engineered to offer a comfortable, confident experience over long distances while equipping the rider to tackle variable and challenging terrains with ease.

With deliveries now rolling out, customer interest has translated into varying waiting periods across the country. These timelines depend on factors like the specific city, the chosen colour, and the variant of the motorcycle.
Prospective buyers should note the following average waiting periods in major Indian cities:
