While the race-spec Apache RR 310 sources power from the same 312cc DOHC four-valve liquid-cooled engine, it manages to push out 38% higher power output than the road-legal bike. The engine comes updated with several high-performance parts such as forged pistons, Titanium valves and HLHD Cams. Also, the RAM Air Intake system has been introduced that boosts the top speed. Apart from pushing the power-up, the overall weight of the bike has also been cut using lightweight carbon fibre parts, including all bodywork, wheels and subframe. In addition, it uses an updated Ohlins adjustable and custom-built suspension for sharper handling on the race track which is further amplified with the use of Dunlop soft compound radial racing tyres.
