Selections for TVS Apache RR Cup are finally over.
They have shortlisted 12 riders who will compete in the upcoming race. TVS also
showcased their 12 track spec Apache RR 310 bikes with no headlight, tail
light, mirrors, rear fender and rear foot pegs. Surprisingly, they left the
rear seat intact.
These bikes are lighter by a good margin and reports
even claim that power production from the 312.2cc engine has crossed 45 HP in
the race specific tune. One can also spot that smaller exhaust unit on all 12
RR310 bikes.
It seems like the motorcycle has turned back to the
basics with most aspects matching that of original Akula design. All
motorcycles are finished in Racing Red shade and each one gets White finished
front fascia with bike number on it. Suspension and brake tuning must have been
changed to the stiffer side.
Stock Apache RR 310 comes priced at INR 2.23 lakh
and thus, rivals KTM RC 390 in this segment. The difference of INR 13,000
between both bikes is justified through addition of slipper clutch and ride by
wire in RC 390.
