Design

With the Apache RR 310, TVS has for the first time gone in for a racy supersport design. Well, the Apache RR 310 certainly looks the part. TVS Motors claims that their latest motorcycle has been tested in a windtunnel, and it is not hard to see the effects of that.

The Apache RR 310 looks edgy and sharp, with the overall design almost mimicking the Triumph Daytona 675R with a few design clues borrowed from certain Japanese bikes.

The motorcycle features twin headlamps up front and ram air intakes right beneath them. The fairing has quite a few edges and sports an excellent paint finish on one side. The other side of the fairing has the gill vents which help in cooling the engine and directing heat away from the rider's legs.

The upside-down forks up front being finished in gold further helps improve the bike's looks. When viewed from the side, the gap between the fairing and the rear panel looks really busy in a good way, with the trellis frame, rear monoshock and thick exhaust outlet immediately drawing your attention.

It features a first-in-India reverse-inclined design, which means the cylinder leans a little towards the back and the intake is at the front while the exhaust outlet faces the rear. This layout helps with the centralisation of mass and also works out better in terms of space, as the ram air intakes at the front can directly feed the filer and the intake manifold.
