Re: TVS Apache RR310

the same rinder makes lights for the ktm's.

any person with practical experience will tell you chain life depends totally on use and maintenance. i know folks on cbr/ktm's running stock chain for 30k km including me.. and these cost 60% of that price, even lower if you buy it from rolon directly.
of course wheels are cast aluminum, what do you think other manufacturer's do? steel/iron ?

brake pads.. alright, agree sintered costs more and the 310 employs EBC pads ? are you sure? i only had a quick test ride in Chennai recently, and did not find anything phenomenal in the braking even comparing it to the old ktm 200/390 (non sintered pads). well, if someone is coming from say a bike like the pulsar 150 or a smaller apache, then they might notice a significant improvement/feel in braking performance.

fuel gauge accuracy should be taken with a pinch of salt. if you still think it's on the dot right, so be it.

the bike hasn't been around even a few months and you have already assumed the life, quality etc etc ..

i just so happen to sniff a lot of tvs fan boys and the 'bmw' link making folks'/owners all the more..well.. never mind the moderator boss doesn't like my sarcasm!

Re: TVS Apache RR310

I do bit of research before posting anything about a bike. And like i said its my perspective and for me the spares cost seems reasonable.
I never said the spares will last long. Thats why i used the word "rated". I said the chain sprocket is estimated for 30K kms because it the result from testing on our roads by TVS .And i never said RR chain set is the only one can go for 30Kms. ANd yea i know it depends on usage.
"A quick test ride" doesn't reveal you anything. So if you felt the brakes are weak so be it, the owners knew the fact.
As far as i know ninja uses alloy steel wheels , not cast aluminium, thats the reason i brought that up.
Regarding speedo accuracy, i can say its around 98% accuracy. The V box videos in youtube reveals its accuracy rate too.
U can have your own opinion, i respect that, same way try to respect others opinion too,. There is no need for any sniffing or sarcasm here.

Re: TVS Apache RR310

After seeing the price list, it is quite reasonable for the company who is manufacturing it. Granted reliability and longevity of the components must be tested but it's not extremely expensive for the quality it claims to be offering. Having seen the RR310 up close, I can agree on one thing. It is mostly BMW who makes these decisions on the component quality. There has to be some compromise when cost effectiveness is involved.

Bike is too new in the market and only time will tell what issues crop up and how TVS reacts to it. My only grouch against the company is their poor sales team who are bothered only about selling XLs and Jupiters.

Re: TVS Apache RR310

As an owner, I feel the brakes are good. Coming from a Ninja, I definitely think the RR310 brakes are good. They aren't as bad as some reviews on YouTube surely.
The spares seem reasonable for a bike in this price bracket.

Re: TVS Apache RR310

Official Price list

Re: TVS Apache RR310

That is the only way to get 50kmpl from the bike. Stick to least throttle at the highest gear possible. That's not what our esteemed gentleman did, however. He claimed 40+ mileage when on a ride with speeds touching 140 kmph. You know as well as I do that it's downright idiotic to make claims like that.


Coming to the spare prices, they are a bit high, but shouldn't matter much to guys who really want the best TVS can offer.

Re: TVS Apache RR310

Bro, how much is for R3.? including labor and tax ?

Re: TVS Apache RR310

Around ₹6800/- including labour and all taxes.

Re: TVS Apache RR310

just curious.. is your research limited to the internet ? Or did you actually ride the bike ?
can you point to a tvs company source where they have tested and claim that the chain sprocket set can last 30k km ?
when i meant a quick test ride, it was a friends' friend bike that i rode around a bit..not a showroom formality ride.
can you tell me where i mentioned the brakes were 'weak' ?? i only said compared to other bikes in this category it isn't exceptional or anything.
you mention the pads to be from the company ebc and are sintered.. i would love to know if it really is. can you point to a source ?
Alloy itself basically means a combination of metals, so yeh it might contain a bit of steel along with Al or Mg as its primary metal. though many local shops claim to sell 'mac' wheels(probably referring to Mag, a short form for magnesium), they are mostly regular Al alloys.

sarcasm apart, i'd love to hear answers with proof on your claims
yep, i did check out the price list, and imo i think they are priced a bit higher.. that's just my opinion. if someone thinks they are reasonable well and good. I just hope people take these account also and make an informed purchase and not cry later on.

am not a fan boy of any particular brand (and neither do i assume that a bmw collab magically elevates 'quality') and love to get in to the details, claims made by companies or people and i wouldn't mince my words or sugar coat them sorry if i come across as rude, i am not

Re: TVS Apache RR310

Thats pretty cheap. It will last for 25k approx know ?

Re: TVS Apache RR310

i think the r3 parts are imported, and probably taxed higher, so higher cost

Re: TVS Apache RR310

Yes, easily it will last 25k kms. On an average R3 owners are changing at 27-28k kms

Yes, it’s imported. After GST price has been increased little bit.

Re: TVS Apache RR310

Source? I would like to check the sources as well

Re: TVS Apache RR310

Its written on the cover only. R3’s is made by DID , which is a much superior and well known brand who manufactures chain sptocket kits for superbikes.

Re: TVS Apache RR310

if you want proof, go pick up a box of oil filter or chain for the r3 and read whats on it. it will clearly be mentioned on the box for most parts that it's "made in XXXX" XXX being thailand/indonesia/japan depending on the part.
i know because i have seen the parts and not off some random assumption of someone on the internet.
As ivin posted it could be made by DID, but that was not my point.. my point being imported spares usually cost more (not necessarily because of superior quality but due to cost of production in other countries, taxes etc..).
The same ktm spares are sold in the uk for a bomb compared to prices here in India.. and of course folks with half knowledge will say they are better quality spares for someone who has really seen/used them will know that it's the same piece of S sold there at much higher prices.

That said, i think it would be better i stay off replying to certain folks around here on this thread. Enjoy your bikes guys.
