TVS Motor has a wide range of 2W vehicle portfolio in India. These range from budget commuters, street fighters, premium street fighter and even a premium supersport. However, TVS never had an ADV in its lineup, which changes now, with the launch of Apache RTX 300.

Prices go till Rs 2.29 lakh (Ex-sh) for top-spec BTO variant. There are 5 colours on offer – Viper Green, Tarn Bronze, Metallic Blue, Lightning Black and Pearl White.
