The new, comprehensively equipped adventure motorcycle, designed for exploration
Built on the new RT-XD4 platform, the RTX 300 promises a new spirit of exploration, drawing on decades of racing engineering. With a strong riding character in its DNA, the RTX 300 features technologies reserved for machines with twice its engine capacity.
Developed on the new RT-XD4 engine platform for adventure riders and A2 licence holders, the RTX 300 enters the mid-capacity adventure segment with a level of standard technology unmatched in its class.
The RTX 300 is the clearest expression of TVS Motor’s European strategy: engineering designed for the world’s most demanding road conditions, made available to European riders without the compromises usually associated with an accessible price. Its rally-inspired design and steel trellis frame, conceived in perfect harmony with the dynamics of an explorer-rider, make it as capable off the beaten track as it is welcoming on the road.
Thanks to its mass distribution, long-travel suspension and upright riding position, the RTX 300 offers reassuring handling for riders taking their first steps on a larger machine, while retaining the performance and adjustability expected by experienced riders. It is a motorcycle designed for two audiences at once: young, technology-minded A2 licence holders looking to move up the range and returning riders unwilling to give up the enjoyable rides they are used to.
To give enthusiasts complete peace of mind, the RTX 300 comes with a five-year/60,000 km manufacturer’s warranty, reflecting TVS Motor’s commitment to its customers.
Five key highlights
- Adventure-inspired design and ergonomics: An athletic, imposing silhouette and a modern monovolume design with twin LED headlights that is both powerful and assertive. The upright riding position, tall screen and mass distribution provide comfort whether seated on the road or standing on trails.
- Trellis chassis and suspension: A steel tubular trellis frame paired with a 41 mm upside-down fork, 180 mm of suspension travel front and rear and 200 mm of ground clearance, designed to absorb trails and poor surfaces with ease.
- Comprehensive standard equipment: Cruise control, bidirectional quickshifter (Adventurer version) and tyre pressure monitoring, depending on version.
- Rider aids and safety: An electronic throttle combined with dynamic chassis control offers four riding modes that can be selected on the move. The Urban, Rain, Tour and Rally modes deliver calibrated power, traction control and ABS management adapted to the demands of the surface.
- Digital dashboard and map mirroring: A high-brightness 5-inch TFT screen mirrors GPS maps directly via the SmartXonnect app, in addition to music and call management (depending on version).
Four modes, four ways to ride
- The four riding modes represent four distinct personalities, each built around how the motorcycle should respond to the rider’s inputs.
- Urban softens throttle response for stop-start traffic and keeps traction control at its most conservative setting. This is the mode in which a rider new to a 300 will spend their first few weeks, making everyday journeys particularly comfortable.
- Rain keeps throttle response softer and increases ABS protection for slippery, wet or cold surfaces.
- Tour delivers perfectly linear power for motorways and mountain passes, with cruise control and the quickshifter (Adventurer version) making it possible to cover long distances and explore without fatigue.
- Rally lets the throttle respond with full intensity, reduces traction control intervention and allows the rear ABS to be switched off on loose surfaces, leaving total control and enjoyment in the rider’s hands.
- For a rider returning to two wheels, the mode selector replaces the mechanical sensitivity that once had to be acquired by feel. For an A2 rider, it is a safety net that gradually fades away, at their own pace.
