The TVS Apache RR 310 Asia OMC race bike comes out to be a significantly modified motorcycle compared to the standard model sold to regular customers. “These initiatives give enthusiastic riders a platform to hone their skills and prove their mettle. It is also a means for us to push the technological and engineering limits of the TVS Apache series through our “Track to Road" philosophy, thus increasing the performance and fun quotient. The results of these initiatives are visible as TVS Apache has become the fastest growing brand in its segment," added Sumbly.
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.
