Both bikes are based on the same platform but have several differentiating factors that make them stand out on their own
TVS has launched the 2024 Apache RR 310 with various updates. But, how different is it from the Apache RTR 310? Let’s have a look:
Design
The TVS Apache RR 310 gets an aggressive and muscular design language and the front fairing’s styling looks very well integrated with the rest of the bike. The 2024 model gets winglets attached to the bike’s fairing which make the bike look more aggressive than the previous model.
The Apache RTR 310 gets a very aggressive design as well but with sharper design lines than the RR 310, which suits the RTR 310’s streetfighter nature. The split-headlight design looks very unique and the bike has a very striking road presence overall.
Engine
Both bikes are powered by the same 312cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled, reverse-inclined engine. In the 2024 Apache RR 310, the motor produces 38PS at 9800rpm and 29Nm at 7900rpm with a claimed top speed of 164kmph while in the RTR 310, it produces 35.6PS at 9700rpm and 28.7Nm at 6650rpm with a claimed top speed of 150kmph. Both bikes get a slip-and-assist clutch and quickshifter.
Suspension, Brakes And Other Details
The TVS Apache RR 310 gets a suspension setup consisting of an inverted fork and a monoshock while braking duties are taken care of by a 300mm front disc brake and a 240mm rear disc brake (petal units at both ends) setup with dual-channel ABS as standard. It gets a 110-section front and 150-section rear Michelin Road 5 tyres with 17-inch wheels at both ends. The wheelbase stands at 1365mm, seat height is 180mm and the ground clearance is 180mm. The supersport gets a kerb weight of 174kg and a fuel tank capacity of 11 litres.

Both bikes get all-LED lighting. The bikes get four riding modes: Sport, Track, Urban and Rain. The RTR 310 gets an additional Supermoto mode that switches off the rear ABS.
The bi-directional quickshifter is available as standard on the Bomber Grey colour option on the RR 310 and the Fury Yellow colour option on the RTR 310. The Racing Red and Arsenal Black colours on the RR 310 and the RTR 310 get a quickshifter variant that cost Rs 17,000 and Rs 18,000 extra respectively over the ones without it.

So, choosing between the two comes down to one’s own preferences and priority. If you want a sub-350cc supersport bike with good power and torque output and a pretty good features list, then the 2024 TVS Apache RR 310 is the one for you. On the other hand, if you want a streetfighter that offers good performance figures and a very extensive features list, then the RTR 310 is the one for you.
