TVS RTX 300

TVS Motor Company is stepping into a bold new era with the highly anticipated TVS RTX 300, its first fully fledged adventure touring motorcycle. Positioned to take on well-established rivals like the KTM 390 Adventure and Royal Enfield Himalayan 450, it represents a strategic move by TVS into the competitive mid-weight ADV segment. First showcased as a concept at TVS MotoSoul and later revealed at the Bharat Mobility Expo 2025, this motorcycle has generated considerable excitement among enthusiasts looking for a versatile, feature-rich, and locally manufactured adventure bike.


Launch Timeline

The concept was teased at Moto Soul 2024 and fully revealed at Bharat Mobility Expo/Auto Expo 2025. Testing continued through 2025; launch expected between June August 2025, with some sources reporting June 10, 2025


Design

Rugged adventureism with a sharp front beak, tall windscreen, and prominent semi-fairing. Twin LED headlamps, LED DRLs, and a full-LED tail lamp for a modern aesthetic. Steel trellis frame with bolt-on subframe; chassis shared DNA with RR310/RTR310. 19″ front and 17″ rear alloy wheels with road-biased trouble-tamer tyres


Price

Expected ex-showroom price between ₹2.5 lakh and ₹2.9 lakh


Engine & Performance

  • New RT‑XD4 / RTX D4 299 cc liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine
  • Output: ~35 PS (~27–28.5 Nm) at ~9,000 rpm
  • Smooth, ride-by-wire throttle with 6-speed gearbox featuring slip-and-assist clutch
  • Estimated top speed ~140–160 km/h; 0–100 km/h in ~8 sec; mileage around 25–30 km/l
  • Power rivals the KTM 390 Adventure and Himalayan 450 in the segment.

Features

Rider tech includes full-LED lighting, a 5″ TFT display with Bluetooth, SmartXonnect features, and turn-by-turn navigation. Multiple ride modes (Sport, Urban/Rain, possibly Track) and a traction control system. Potential quickshifter enabled by ride-by-wire; slip-and-assist clutch offers better control. Cruise control, cornering ABS, and switchable rear ABS are likely.


Braking & Safety

  • Dual-channel ABS is standard; switchable rear ABS and cornering ABS are probable
  • Likely petal disc brakes front and rear, possibly with a radial caliper up front.
  • Traction control and six-axis IMU support grip and stability.

Tech & Comfort

  • Long-travel inverted forks and a preload-adjustable monoshock ensure comfort over varied terrain.
  • Ergonomic upright riding position with split seats, mid-set pegs, and raised handlebars
  • Forecast: ~15 L fuel tank; ground clearance ~200 mm (estimated)
  • Accessories support: panniers, engine/crash guards, knuckle guards, and top box

Positive Points

First-in-segment modern 300 cc ADV from a major Indian brand. Spec-wise, it now matches or beats Europeans like KTM and BMW in features. Robust engine with mid-range torque, connectivity, rider aids, and a touring-friendly chassis. Stylish, aggressive design with practical ergonomics and upgradable accessories.


Potential Downsides

  • Tape on alloy wheels and a road-biased setup—not ideal for hardcore off-roading.
  • TVS’s customer service has been historically inconsistent, which could affect ownership experience.
  • The premium price slot puts it in tough competition with the KTM 390 Adventure and Himalayan 450; it must live up to expectations under real-world tests.
