We first on the TVS Apache RR 310 back in December 2017 and the
bike certainly had got of excitons we even did a thorough as well notice of
the motorcycle and you can check that backlinking on the links are right up there
now though for 2019 previous have introduced a new version of the Apache
but it looks the same so what's different
well to find out here are five things you need to know about the new 2019 TVS Apache RR 310
one the biggest change is that it now gets a slipper clutch but
previous says that this is a race derived unit and in fact they've spent
over 200 hours of track testing to get the settings just right and I must say on
the racetrack it works really well the slip function ensures that has almost no
rear wheel hop when you're down shifting aggressively and that doesn't mean this
Apache a lot safer in certain conditions especially if you need a down shirt when
the bike is leaned over or on a loose surface and then the assist function
also makes the leaver effort lighter by as much as 20% which should definitely
help the Apaches case in traffic now there's good news your or existing
Apache owners as well because this unit has been designed specifically to be
interpreted on the previous bikes and that means if you own a TVS Apache RR310
then you can walk into a showroom and get one of these double clutches for
under rupees for thousands Two there is a brand new paint scheme
and it's called phantom black now there was a black Apache are after them before
but this one is finished in glass black and it gets newly cast on the nose on
the tank and on the tail also gone is a sticker on the tail which said 35 years
of racing because it's 2019 and it's been 37 years since TVS began racing
in India that said a part of this there are absolutely no visual changes
3 there are no mechanical changes in this 2019 update which means this RR310 runs
the exact same trellis frame the exact same suspension and the exact same
riffle before even the 312 CC reverse inclined signals when the motor
has been untouched which means it makes the exact same power and torque figures
so that's not a bad thing at all well it still retains its lovely meaty mid-range
and that makes the bike great fun on the racetrack and very good to use on the
roads as well but because there are no changes to the engine one issue that
plagued this motor still remains to a certain extent and that is vibration
Four speaking of vibrations previous has been rolling out minor updates over the last
one and a half years to actually address those now the primary of these are as
follows firstly there is a new ignition lap which takes away some vibrations
from the motor and improves throttle response at really really slow speeds
then you also have these bigger and heavier bearing weights which take care
of handlebar vibrations and now they are almost non-existent then you also have a
softer cheese roller which takes care of that slapping noise of the chain
especially when you are riding at slower speeds or on bumpy roads and there's
also a rubber seal between the windscreen and the bodywork of the
fairing to reduce that sort of rattle that comes from plastic plastic contact
now there are of course a lot of minor updates and I really improved this bike
and the best part as all of those have been made available for free to existing
customers of the RR310 and they come as standard on this new version
five at rupees two point two seven lakh ex-showroom Delhi this new RR 310
costs just rs four thousand more than the previous bike and that's exactly
what it cost to retrofit the previous bike with a slipper clutch as well
so finally is it worth it well it's still not the perfect bike but all these small
updates have really taken care of those nickels that bothered us with the
previous bike so in that sense they're fairly worth it
