TVS Apache RTR 310 lineup updated: quickshifter Base, prices and Sepang Blue

The TVS Apache RTR 310's reported 2026 lineup now separates Base without Quickshifter from a Base version with the quickshifter. Prices start at ₹2.30 lakh ex-showroom for the former and ₹2.47 lakh for the quickshifter-equipped Base in Arsenal Black or Fury Yellow. That is a ₹17,000 step between the two reported entry configurations. Sepang Blue is also reported available on the quickshifter Base. The update concerns the variant and colour ladder, rather than an announced engine or chassis overhaul.

The reported variant and colour ladder

The higher rows should not be treated as one identical equipment package at different prices. Confirm the exact colour, edition and optional equipment on the dealer quotation. On-road charges and local availability are additional questions.

What changed about Base and Top?

The current reports say the earlier Top trim has been discontinued and the quickshifter is now bundled with the revised Base configuration. A lower-priced Base without Quickshifter remains. The official model page independently shows Base-without-QuickShifter and Sepang Blue Base labels and describes the bidirectional quickshifter in the model's technology context.

That distinction matters when comparing a new quotation with an older review or price list. “Base” alone may no longer identify the exact equipment being discussed. Ask the seller to state explicitly whether the quoted motorcycle has the quickshifter.

What does the ₹17,000 step represent?

The ₹17,000 figure is the arithmetic difference between the two reported starting configurations. The quickshifter assists gear changes; the bidirectional description indicates support for both upshifts and downshifts under the system's operating conditions. It does not indicate a larger engine or an increase in rated power.

Whether that equipment is useful depends on the rider's preference and intended use. A test ride and a clear specification comparison are more informative than assuming the dearer configuration improves every aspect of the motorcycle.

Sepang Blue moves down the ladder

Sepang Blue is reported to have been restricted to BTO configurations previously and is now offered on the quickshifter Base, not on Base without Quickshifter. At ₹2.57 lakh, its reported price is ₹10,000 above the ₹2.47 lakh black/yellow quickshifter Base.

The colour's availability on a lower rung does not automatically transfer every BTO feature to that version. Equipment varies by configuration and should be confirmed separately.

Engine context and buyer checks

The reported engine remains the 312.2cc unit rated at 35.6 PS and 28.7 Nm, with a six-speed gearbox. No engine or chassis change is established by this particular lineup update.

• Check the exact variant name and quickshifter fitment.

• Confirm the desired colour's local availability.

• Separate standard equipment from BTO or optional packages.

• Obtain an itemised on-road quote rather than extrapolating from ex-showroom figures.
