TVS, reportedly, will introduce an all-new 300cc adventure motorcycle in India next year. The media reports claim that the new ADV bike would be christened as RTX as it will lock horns with the Royal Enfield Himalayan 450. It has been spotted multiple times during its test runs on the Indian roads. The leaked images have shown that the motorcycle will get a semi-fairing and tall windscreen to make it look like a proper adventure tourer.
TVS RTX 310 could ride on 21-inch front wheels and 18-inch rear wire-spoke wheels and tubeless tyres. It will also boast of an adjustable suspension setup along with disc brakes at front and rear, accompanied by a dual-channel ABS.
