Gearing up for the upcoming festive shopping season, TVS Motor has expanded its flagship motorcycle stable with a brand-new dark livery. The two-wheeler maker has rolled out the Black Diamond edition for both its track-oriented, fully-faired Apache RR 310 and its aggressive street naked Apache RTR 310. Aimed at riders who prefer an understated yet fierce appearance on the road, these additions inject a stealthy visual appeal into the company's 310 cc portfolio.
Exclusive All-Dark Visual Styling
The core attraction of this special edition lies in its bespoke cosmetic overhaul. Both motorcycles are treated with an all-black exterior coat labeled as the Black Diamond package. Subtle graphic accents and customized exterior finishes complement the deep black base, setting these motorcycles apart from the existing regular color catalog. This styling approach delivers a notably sinister, commanding presence that appeals directly to motorcycle enthusiasts seeking stealth aesthetics.
Pricing and Variant Availability in Delhi
TVS has chosen to introduce this Black Diamond scheme strictly on the top-tier trims of both bikes, ensuring that riders receive high-end hardware, including a bi-directional quickshifter right out of the factory. In terms of showroom prices in Delhi, the street-focused Apache RTR 310 Black Diamond edition has been pegged at Rs 2,48,990. Meanwhile, the fully-faired Apache RR 310 Black Diamond edition demands an ex-showroom tag of Rs 2,87,790.
Powertrain Specs and Performance Figures
Beneath the cosmetic refresh, the core mechanical foundation remains entirely identical to the standard versions. Powering both machines is the familiar 312 cc liquid-cooled, single-cylinder powerplant. On the naked RTR 310, this unit develops 35.6 bhp of maximum output and 28.7 Nm of torque. The aerodynamically faired RR 310 pushes out around 37-38 hp alongside 29 Nm of pulling power. Power delivery is handled via a six-speed gearbox assisted by a slipper clutch system across both models.
Rider Aids, Electronics and Keyless Ride Update
Both models retain an extensive rider-assistance package to ensure stability and control at high speeds. The equipment suite incorporates race-tuned dynamic stability control, cornering traction control, cornering ABS, launch control, cruise control, and drag torque management. In addition to the shared electronic aids, the faired RR 310 now gains a keyless ride feature, bringing it on par with the RTR 310 which already offered this convenience.
Targeting Festive Demand Through Visual Updates
Fundamentally, the Black Diamond variants represent a calculated cosmetic update aimed at revitalizing customer interest ahead of peak festive purchasing. Without meddling with the underlying chassis or mechanical setup, TVS has given the Apache flagship duo a sharper look and added functional convenience to defend their turf in India's competitive 300 cc segment.
