RTX stands for Rally Tourer Extreme, the characteristics of which are reflected in the Apache RTX’s forward-leaning mono-volume design language with rally-derived style cues. To this effect, the Apache RTX gets a tall touring windscreen that sits above the dual LED headlamps and the sharp, but compact front beak. The bike’s headlamp and muscular fuel tank fit neatly together and lead to a split-seat setup that sits on a tail-section with space for a luggage rack and saddle bags.
TVS Apache RTX: New RTXD4 engine
The Apache RTX derives its power from the new RT-XD4 engine that was unveiled at the MotoSoul 2024 event. This is a 299 cc, water/oil-cooled single-cylinder that makes 35 bhp at 9,000 rpm and a peak torque of 28.5 Nm at 7,000 rpm. The motor is paired with a six-speed gearbox complemented by a bi-directional quickshifter. The transmission setup benefits from a wet, multi-plate lean segment assist-and-slipper clutch for precise off-road engagement. TVS claims the new motor offers linear power delivery across varied terrain with its four riding modes: Tour, Rally, Urban, and Rain.

TVS Apache RTX: Chassis and hardware
The new power unit is encased within a purpose-built steel trellis frame with a die-cast aluminium swingarm at the rear. The frame enables an 835 mm seat height with rally-derived ergonomics for both road and trail-worthy riding dynamics. The Apache RTX is suspended by 41 mm long-travel WP inverted cartridge forks at the front and a mono-tube rear shock absorber with a floating piston for stable damping and lower temperatures.
Suspension travel is 180 mm all around, complemented by a 200 mm ground clearance and kerb weight of 180 kg. The RTX rides on 19-17-inch alloys wrapped in a 110/80-section front and 150/70-section rear tyre. These are fitted with a 320 mm front disc with a fixed caliper and a 240 mm rear disc with a floating caliper.
