TVS Apache RTX 300 Real-World Fuel Economy Tested and Explained
TVS Apache RTX 300 Real-World Fuel Economy Tested and Explained
The TVS Apache RTX 300 marks a couple of firsts for the Hosur-based brand. It is not only the first Adventure Bike from TVS but also debuts a new 300cc engine which will also underpin future models. We were recently able to spend an extended period of time aboard the RTX and subject it to our instrumented fuel economy tests.
TVS Apache RTX 300 Real World Mileage
The RTX averaged 38kpl in our tests. As per our routine, we first ran the Apache RTX 300 on the highway for a longer than our usual 50km round trip – nearly 65km, after which it needed 1.6 litres of fuel to brim the tank. Therefore, we arrived at an impressive highway fuel economy of 40.6kpl.
City Fuel Economy
Once that was completed, we headed to the notoriously busy streets of South Mumbai where we ran the newest Apache for just under 50km. Since it needed 1.3 litres of petrol to brim its tank once more, we arrived at a city fuel economy of 35.8kpl.
TVS Apache RTX 300 Fuel Economy Analysis
New 300cc engine is tractable and has well-spaced gear ratios. Considering that this is an all-new engine, there was no reference point for the RTX going into our tests. Inside the city, what works in the RTX’s favour is that the engine is nicely tractable necessitating gentle throttle openings therefore consuming less fuel.
