TVS has officially patented the design of the RTX 300 adventure motorcycle in India. Expected to launch later this year, it will be the first bike to feature the all-new RT-XD4 engine.
Key Specifications & Features
- Equipped with a 19-inch front and 17-inch rear tyre setup.
- First TVS motorcycle to debut the RT-XD4 engine.
- Designed primarily for touring with road-biased alloy wheels.
Spy Shots and Design Patent
The TVS RTX 300 was first spotted in testing last year, soon after TVS introduced the 300cc RT-XD4 engine at MotoSoul 2024. Later, undisguised images of the pre-production model surfaced at Auto Expo 2025. Interestingly, the design patent was filed just a day before these images leaked, closely resembling the spied version except for the missing beak and crash guards, which may be offered as optional accessories.
Design Inspiration & Chassis Setup
Taking cues from European adventure tourers, the RTX 300 features a distinctive rear tail-light section reminiscent of the Triumph Tiger 900. The bike is built on a trellis frame with a bolt-on rear subframe. Suspension duties are handled by a USD fork at the front and a monoshock at the rear, ensuring a balanced ride for long-distance touring.

Engine & Performance
Powering the RTX 300 is a 299cc RT-XD4 engine delivering 35hp and 27Nm of torque. It comes paired with a 6-speed gearbox featuring a slip-and-assist clutch. Given its ride-by-wire throttle system, TVS could equip it with premium features like a quickshifter, traction control, and multiple rider modes.
Expected Launch Timeline
Although TVS has not announced an official launch date, the RTX 300 is expected to hit the market sometime this year, adding a strong contender to the adventure motorcycle segment.
Conclusion
The TVS RTX 300 marks a significant step for TVS in the adventure touring segment, bringing a fresh design inspired by larger European tourers and a brand-new RT-XD4 engine. With a trellis frame, long-travel suspension, and a road-biased 19-inch (F) and 17-inch (R) wheel setup, it is positioned as a capable touring machine. The recent design patent, along with undisguised spy shots from Auto Expo 2025, suggests that the bike is nearing its launch. Equipped with modern tech like ride-by-wire and the potential for advanced features like a quickshifter and traction control, the RTX 300 is set to be a strong competitor in the growing adventure motorcycle market.
