The wait is almost over. TVS Motor Company is all set to launch its most ambitious motorcycle yet — the TVS RTX 300 — in India tomorrow, October 15, 2025. This new model marks TVS’s official entry into the mid-capacity adventure motorcycle segment, one of the fastest-growing categories in the Indian market.
After months of testing, teasers, and speculation, the RTX 300 will finally make its debut — and it could very well become one of the most talked-about bikes of the year. Here’s everything you need to know about the upcoming launch, from engine details to design and expected pricing.
TVS RTX 300: The Brand’s First True Adventure Bike
TVS is no stranger to innovation, but with the RTX 300, the company is stepping into completely new territory. This motorcycle is designed to take on some of the toughest rivals in the adventure space — from the KTM 250 Adventure to the Yezdi Adventure — and aims to blend performance, comfort, and technology into one rugged package.
The RTX 300 first made waves earlier this year when it was showcased in prototype form at the 2025 Bharat Mobility Expo. The prototype revealed a muscular design and adventure-focused hardware, hinting that TVS was serious about entering the ADV category. Tomorrow’s launch will confirm exactly how much of that concept DNA has made it to the production model.
Engine & Performance: Meet the New RTX D4 Engine
Powering the new TVS RTX 300 is a brand-new 299cc liquid-cooled, single-cylinder engine, dubbed the RTX D4. This engine has been developed from the ground up by TVS engineers and first appeared at the MotoSoul event earlier this year.
The numbers are impressive — the motor is expected to deliver around 35 horsepower and 28.5 Nm of torque. Mated to a six-speed gearbox, the engine will likely feature a slipper and assist clutch for smoother, more controlled gear shifts, especially during aggressive downshifts.
With these specs, the RTX 300 is set to offer a healthy balance of on-road punch and off-road capability, making it ideal for riders who enjoy long-distance touring but still want to explore trails and mountain routes on weekends.
TVS’s recent focus on engine refinement and performance tuning — seen in the Apache RR 310 — gives confidence that the RTX 300’s power delivery will be both exciting and refined.
Design: Adventure DNA With TVS Signature Style
The TVS RTX 300 follows a familiar but attractive adventure-tourer silhouette. The bike gets a tall windscreen, sharp front fairing, and a beak-style front fender, all of which give it that unmistakable ADV presence.
The design philosophy clearly focuses on versatility — a machine that can handle both long highway stretches and light off-road conditions without breaking a sweat.
The rear features a slim tail section paired with a split-seat layout, offering comfort for both the rider and the pillion during long rides. From the spy shots and teasers, it’s clear that TVS has paid special attention to ergonomics — upright handlebars, forward-set footpegs, and a wide seat suggest that comfort won’t be compromised.
The overall aesthetic feels premium, muscular, and purposeful — the kind of design that appeals equally to young riders and seasoned tourers.
Chassis & Suspension: Built To Take On Any Terrain
Underneath that sharp styling lies a steel trellis frame, designed for durability and balance. The suspension setup includes upside-down (USD) front forks and a rear monoshock, promising long travel and excellent shock absorption.
This configuration is perfect for Indian roads — whether it’s rough city patches, bumpy highways, or off-road trails, the setup should handle it all comfortably.
The wheel setup is equally adventure-friendly: a 19-inch front wheel and a 17-inch rear wheel, both wrapped in dual-purpose tyres for a blend of grip and agility. These tyres will help the RTX 300 perform equally well on tarmac and gravel.
For braking duties, TVS has equipped the bike with petal-type disc brakes at both ends, complemented by a dual-channel ABS system. There are also strong hints that switchable ABS might be part of the package — allowing riders to turn off ABS on the rear wheel during off-road rides for more control.
Features: Loaded With Modern Tech
TVS is known for packing its motorcycles with smart features, and the RTX 300 will be no exception.
Expect a full-colour TFT instrument console — similar to the one on the Apache RR 310 — but with added functionalities like Bluetooth connectivity, turn-by-turn navigation, and smartphone pairing via the TVS SmartXonnect system.
Riders can expect multiple riding modes, traction control, and possibly even switchable ABS, giving more control depending on terrain and riding conditions.
The TFT console is also likely to support features such as ride analytics, call and message alerts, and navigation prompts, enhancing the bike’s touring capabilities.
All these features, if confirmed, would make the RTX 300 one of the most technologically advanced motorcycles in its class.
Performance & Ride Quality: Expect Power With Comfort
TVS’s engineering reputation ensures that the RTX 300 won’t just be powerful — it will be refined and versatile.
The combination of a 35 hp engine, lightweight trellis frame, and dual-purpose tyres should deliver a dynamic riding experience, both on and off the road.
The bike’s suspension travel and ergonomic design promise comfort during long rides, while the wide handlebar and high ground clearance should inspire confidence on trails and broken roads.
Early test reports suggest that the RTX 300 has a neutral, balanced handling setup — sporty enough for twisty roads but forgiving enough for new riders stepping into the adventure world.
Expected Price and Rivals: Aggressive Market Move by TVS
The TVS RTX 300 is expected to be priced between ₹2.6 lakh and ₹2.8 lakh (ex-showroom). This positions it strategically in the middle of the 300cc adventure segment.
Its direct rivals will include the KTM 250 Adventure, Yezdi Adventure, and potentially even the Royal Enfield Himalayan 450, depending on how TVS positions the model.
At this expected price range, TVS could deliver serious value — especially if the brand manages to offer premium features and strong aftersales support while undercutting KTM’s pricing.
TVS already has a loyal fan base through its Apache range, and the RTX 300 could easily attract both Apache enthusiasts looking to upgrade and new riders entering the ADV segment.
TVS RTX 300 Launch Event: What To Expect Tomorrow
The official India launch event of the TVS RTX 300 will take place tomorrow, October 15, 2025, and will be livestreamed across TVS Motor’s official digital platforms.
The company is expected to reveal complete specifications, variants, and official pricing, along with accessories and touring packages.
Sources suggest TVS may also announce a range of adventure accessories — panniers, crash guards, luggage mounts, and touring windscreens — making the RTX 300 even more practical for long-distance touring.
Why The RTX 300 Matters: A Game Changer For TVS
The launch of the RTX 300 is more than just another motorcycle debut — it’s a major step forward for TVS.
Until now, the brand’s performance focus has been centered around the Apache series, which covers naked and sport categories. With the RTX 300, TVS is venturing into a space that’s becoming increasingly popular among Indian riders — affordable adventure touring.
This move puts TVS directly in competition with established players like KTM, Royal Enfield, and Yezdi, but given TVS’s track record for value-packed performance bikes, it could easily disrupt the market.
Final Thoughts: A New Era For TVS Begins Tomorrow
The TVS RTX 300 represents everything Indian riders have been asking for — power, versatility, and adventure-ready performance at an accessible price.
From the new RTX D4 engine to the feature-loaded console and premium build, this motorcycle could become a milestone product for TVS and a top choice for adventure lovers in India.
