TVS RTX 300 Maxi-Scooter Launched in India at ₹2.49 Lakh, Takes Aim at Rivals
CHENNAI, INDIA – In a major move that is set to shake up the premium two-wheeler market, TVS Motor Company has officially launched its highly anticipated performance maxi-scooter, the TVS RTX 300, in India. The launch, held today on October 15, 2025, marks TVS’s bold entry into the burgeoning 300cc scooter segment. The RTX 300 has been launched at a very competitive introductory price of ₹2.49 lakh (ex-showroom).
The new TVS RTX 300 is designed to be a versatile and powerful machine, blending the thrilling performance of a sportbike with the comfort and practicality of a scooter. It is poised to be a game-changer, offering a host of segment-first features and a powerful engine derived from the acclaimed Apache RTR 310 platform.
Design and Ergonomics
The TVS RTX 300 boasts a sharp, aggressive, and aerodynamic design that is typical of a modern maxi-scooter. It features a large front apron with twin-beam LED headlamps, a tall and adjustable windscreen for highway touring, and a comfortable, stepped-up single-piece seat. The design is both sporty and practical, with a feet-forward riding posture that ensures comfort on long rides.
Engine and Performance
The heart of the RTX 300 is its powerful engine, which shares its architecture with the Apache RTR 310.
- Engine: The scooter is powered by a 298cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled, 4-valve engine mated to a smooth CVT automatic transmission.
- Performance Figures: The engine has been tuned to produce a peak power of 28 bhp and a maximum torque of 27 Nm.
- Performance: TVS claims the RTX 300 can accelerate from 0-100 km/h in under 10 seconds and has a top speed of over 130 km/h, making it one of the fastest scooters in the country.
Features and Technology: A Segment-First Approach
The TVS RTX 300 is loaded with cutting-edge technology, many of which are first in its segment.
- TFT Display: It features a large 7-inch full-color TFT instrument cluster with TVS’s SmartXonnect technology, offering Bluetooth connectivity for turn-by-turn navigation, call alerts, and ride statistics.
- Riding Modes: The scooter comes with three distinct riding modes: Urban, Rain, and Sport.
- Safety: In a major safety boost, the RTX 300 is equipped with dual-channel ABS and a segment-first Traction Control System (TCS).
- Convenience: Other features include full LED lighting, a large under-seat storage space that can accommodate a full-face helmet, and a keyless ignition system.
Price, Variants, and Competition
The TVS RTX 300 has been launched in a single, fully-loaded variant with three color options.
- Introductory Price: ₹2.49 lakh (ex-showroom)
This aggressive pricing puts the TVS RTX 300 in a strong position in the market. While it significantly undercuts more premium maxi-scooters like the BMW C 400 GT, its primary competition will come from:
- Yamaha Aerox 155
- Keeway Vieste 300i
- The upcoming Hero Xoom 160
With its powerful engine, class-leading features, and a highly competitive price point, the TVS RTX 300 has the potential to redefine the performance scooter segment in India. Bookings have commenced today at all authorized TVS dealerships, with deliveries scheduled to begin in November 2025.
