The popular TVS Apache 310 series has just received a major price revision in India. Thanks to the government’s new two-tier GST structure, the company has passed the tax benefits directly to buyers. As a result, both the Apache RR310 and Apache RTR310 have become cheaper by up to Rs. 27,000 across different variants. This makes the premium motorcycles from TVS more attractive for enthusiasts who were waiting for better pricing.
Why Prices Dropped? – The Impact of GST Cuts
Earlier, all high-capacity motorcycles were taxed under the same GST slab, making them comparatively expensive. With the new GST reform, the government has introduced a two-tier structure, reducing the overall tax on certain motorcycles.
TVS, instead of keeping the benefit to itself, has reduced the ex-showroom prices of the Apache 310 range. This is a welcome move for customers, as price revisions of this scale are rare in the Indian two-wheeler market.
Apache RR310 – Price Revision Explained
The Apache RR310 is TVS’s flagship motorcycle, built in collaboration with BMW Motorrad. Known for its sporty styling, powerful engine, and premium features, the RR310 now starts at Rs. 2.56 lakh (ex-showroom) for the base Racing Red variant without Quickshifter.
The higher trims with Dynamic, Pro, and Anniversary Editions also see significant reductions. The top-end Race Replica and Anniversary Edition models are now priced close to Rs. 3.10 lakh, offering savings of around Rs. 26,000–27,000 compared to earlier.
For buyers, this means they can now consider higher variants with more features at prices that were earlier limited to mid-level trims.
Apache RTR310 – Urban Street Fighter Gets Cheaper
The Apache RTR310, which is the naked sibling of the RR310, also benefits from GST cuts. The base model in Arsenal Black without Quickshifter is now priced at Rs. 2.21 lakh, while the premium Anniversary Edition in Glossy Black and Gold costs Rs. 2.86 lakh.
Depending on the variant, savings range between Rs. 18,750 and Rs. 24,860. For street riders who want a sporty motorcycle with aggressive looks, advanced electronics, and everyday practicality, this reduction makes the RTR310 a stronger competitor against rivals like the KTM Duke 250 and Honda CB300R.
Variants and Savings – What Customers Should Know
Both the RR310 and RTR310 are available in multiple trims with different kits like Dynamic Kit, Pro Kit, and Dynamic + Pro Kit. These add premium features such as adjustable suspension, tyre pressure monitoring, and advanced riding modes.
Now, with prices revised downward, customers can access these high-end variants at lower prices than before. For example:
- Apache RR310 Race Replica Dynamic + Pro Kit is now priced at Rs. 3.17 lakh (savings of Rs. 26,909).
- Apache RTR310 Sepang Blue Dynamic + Pro Kit is priced at Rs. 2.93 lakh (savings of Rs. 24,860).
This makes the fully loaded models much more value for money.
Why This Revision Matters for the Market
In the Indian premium motorcycle segment, price sensitivity is very high. Even a reduction of Rs. 10,000 can influence a customer’s buying decision. With reductions going up to Rs. 27,000, TVS has taken a bold step that could boost sales of its flagship bikes.
Also, this move makes the Apache 310 range more competitive against KTM RC 390, Duke 390, BMW G310R, and Honda CB300R. Customers now get a premium bike at a lower entry price without compromising on performance or features.
Conclusion
The TVS Apache RR310 and RTR310 have become significantly cheaper after the recent GST cuts, with savings ranging from Rs. 18,750 to Rs. 26,909 depending on the variant. With new ex-showroom prices starting from Rs. 2.21 lakh, these bikes offer excellent value for money.
For enthusiasts looking for a powerful, feature-packed motorcycle in the 300cc segment, the revised prices make the Apache 310 range one of the most attractive buys in the market right now.
