TVS Apache RR 310, the first full-faired motorcycle from TVS Motor Company launched in December 2017 has been an instant hit among the sports bike enthusiast of the country. Priced at Rs 2.23 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi), TVS Apache RR 310 is a compelling case in its segment.
TVS Motor Company's supersport bike is powered by a 312cc single-cylinder engine that churns out 34hp of power and 27.3Nm of torque, mated to a six-speed gearbox.

The racing exhaust will increase the power output by 2.4hp and torque by 2.7Nm from the same engine. In addition, the Akrapovic exhaust is lightweight and it will reduce the overall weight of the bike by 4.6kg.
