As we pointed out this week, the TVS Apache RR 310 It has been presented worldwide. It is a small sports car that represents the flagship of the Indian giant TVS, but could become the sports car of access to the BMW range since it takes the base of the BMW G 310 R.
In other words, it is definitely a G 310 R that has been dressed in a long suit, a full fairing, a somewhat more aggressive riding position and some minor modifications that make it a motorcycle that hundreds of thousands of people will dream of. young people around the world.
TVS Apache RR 310: sports car with German DNA
At a mechanical level, it is the same powertrain used by the roadster version. The single cylinder 312 cc engine with 180º rotated cylinder head maintains the intake at the front and the exhaust at the rear to improve overall compactness and mass centering in addition to producing 34 horsepower and 27.3 Nm of torque.
TVS claims to have modified the steel multi-tube chassis with new reinforcements to make it more rigid and worthy of a more sporty behavior, complementing the long swingarm that already equips the BMW model and that generates great stability without compromising dynamism.
The cycle part uses a Kayaba inverted front fork and a rear monoshock from the same brand, both with specific adjustment, while the brakes use a 300-millimeter front disc in the front axle with a radially anchored brake caliper signed by Bybre (Brembo's second brand) plus a 240mm rear disc, both with dual-channel ABS.
In the case of the Apache, apart from aesthetics, the instrumentation also changes, which in this case uses a fully digital frame with a vertical arrangement (stopwatch included) and a much more sporty stance with semi-handlebars on the upper triple clamp. Electricity also overflows through lighting that makes full use of electricity. led technology.
The TVS statement states that, in addition to being inspired by the shapes of a shark, the fairing has been designed entirely by them and that tests have been used in wind tunnel and fluid dynamics simulation for its realization, so it is possible that if BMW finally launches its own version, it will be a motorcycle with a different appearance.
Thanks to this improvement in aerodynamics compared to the naked German version and a weight in running order of 170 kg, TVS claims that the top speed of its Apache RR 310 is a whopping 163 km / h and reaches 60 km / h from a standstill in 2.9 seconds.
Now the ball is in the BMW court, will you dare? At the moment the Germans have already entered the market for small-displacement A2 motorcycles with the naked version and the trail version (the BMW G 310 GS) of their 310 range. If they decide to enter the sports war they will have to be measured against bikes like the Kawasaki Ninja 400, KTM RC 390 or Yamaha YZF-R3, notably more powerful bikes.
Is BMW saving something?
