This naked sports motorcycle is set to redefine the realm of two-wheeled exhilaration with its impressive blend of power, agility and style and is poised to captivate motorcycle enthusiasts and adrenaline aficionados, the company said in a statement.

The motorcycle's 312.2 cc engine has a unique reverse inclined DOHC engine providing compact engine layout resulting in mass centralisation. The forged aluminium piston is 5 per cent lighter which produces a peak power of 35.6 PS @9700 rpm and maximum torque at 28.7 Nm.

The motorcycle is claimed to be fastest in its segment to reach 0-60 km per hour in 2.81 seconds.

The bike also comes with a cruise control feature that maintains a speed without any throttle or clutch input, helping in reducing rider fatigue over long distance riding, the company said.

''The TVS Apache RTR 310 is the first of a new generation of Apache's that inherit a 40-year racing pedigree and is based on our 'Track to Road' philosophy. This machine will be the start of a new era of freestyle performance motorcycling with a core essence of thrill and fun,'' TVS Motor Company, Head-Business- Premium Vimal Sumbly said.

''...this flagship Apache like every other Apache will lead in technology setting new benchmarks for the category,'' he said.

Recently, the Apache series breached the five million global sales milestone becoming the fastest growing premium motorcycle brand in the segment, he said.
