The TVS Apache is one of the most popular model lineups among enthusiasts in India and many other parts of the world. When it first launched back in 2005, it signaled that TVS wasn’t just content building commuters anymore. It wanted to play in the performance space. Over time, the Apache lineup grew into a family of machines that blended racing DNA with everyday usability.
The RTR models catered to street riders looking for punchy power and sharp handling, while the RR 310 proved that a homegrown brand could build a sportbike with real global appeal. Two decades later, the Apache badge has become a symbol of TVS engineering confidence and racing credibility.
Part of that evolution came from an unlikely partnership. TVS and BMW Motorrad teamed up to co-develop a 312cc platform that would underpin both the Apache RR 310 and BMW’s G 310 range. The result was a lineup of siblings that shared the same basic engine and chassis but wore very different personalities. BMW’s side of the family produced the G 310 R naked bike, the G 310 RR sportbike, and the G 310 GS adventure model.
