2021 TVS Apache RR 310
Gorgeous, fun and practical – TVS’s flagship, the Apache RR 310, is hugely admirable because of how well it spans different motorcycling spectrums: sport, commuting and touring. It’s gotten this way with constant improvements; after its 2017 launch the RR was updated in 2019 with a slipper clutch to improve its sporting focus and also got refinement updates to damp its vibey and clattery nature. Then in 2020, the BS6 RR 310 was launched with a raft of updates! Aside from being cleaner it pushed the ability and excitement levels of the RR even higher. It packed ride modes, Michelin Road 5 tyres, a colour TFT instrument cluster and a new colour scheme. Now, in 2021, TVS brought the fourth iteration of the RR 310 in as many years, so what’s changed this time to make the RR 310 blaze brighter?
