TVS Apache RTX 300 Launched in Italy: Gets 35.5bhp Engine, Cruise Control and Quick-Shifter

Key Highlights:

• TVS Apache RTX 300 launched in Italy at EUR 4,890 onwards
• Prices translate to around Rs 5.43 lakh in India
• Gets a 299.1cc engine producing 35.5bhp and 28.5Nm
• Sales in Italy to begin in November across around 150 outlets

In comparison, the Apache RTX 300 is priced from Rs 1.99 lakh (ex-showroom) in India. The European pricing is considerably higher, reflecting the costs and taxes involved in introducing a motorcycle in an overseas market.

The TVS Apache RTX 300 will be sold in Italy in two variants priced at EUR 4,890 and EUR 5,290, equivalent to approximately Rs 5.43 lakh and Rs 5.88 lakh, respectively. Sales are scheduled to begin in November 2026, with the motorcycle expected to be available through around 150 TVS outlets across Italy.

Italy is currently the first confirmed European market for the Apache RTX 300. TVS has not yet announced plans for the motorcycle's launch in other European markets.

The adventure motorcycle is powered by a 299.1cc, liquid-cooled, single-cylinder engine. It produces 35.5bhp and 28.5Nm of torque and is paired with a six-speed gearbox. The bike also gets an electronic package that includes multiple riding modes, traction control and cruise control. A bi-directional quick-shifter and slipper clutch are also part of the equipment list.

The Apache RTX 300 gets a TFT instrument cluster with Google Maps mirroring, along with adaptive headlights. Both front and rear suspension units offer adjustment.

The riding position and seat have also been designed with longer journeys in mind. These features, along with the electronics and touring-focused equipment, give the RTX 300 a setup aimed at both highway travel and everyday riding.

The Apache RTX 300 was first introduced in India and is now being exported to Italy as part of TVS Motor's international expansion. While the motorcycle retains much of its India-spec equipment, its higher European price puts it in a different pricing bracket in the Italian market.
