Powertrain
As you would have guessed, the TVS RR 310 is powered by the same engine that powers the BMW G310R. This is a 313cc single-cylinder engine that makes 34PS of power and 27.5Nm of torque. That said, the ECU is different and TVS is using a slightly different engine map for better acceleration in the higher rpms. The unique feature of this motorcycle is that the engine is mounted in the reverse order. Meaning, that the exhaust port is at the rear and the intake port is at the front.
The engine comes mated to a six-speed gearbox, which has the same ratio as in the BMW G310R. However, TVS RR 310 is using a bigger 41 teeth rear sprocket that the 40 teeth sprocket on the BMW.
Looks
The design of the motorcycle was created by in-house by TVS themselves. The RR 310 went through a rigorous aerodynamic testing using computer fluid dynamics. This meant that the fairing had to be efficient in channelling air. The design takes inspiration from a Shark (Akula means Shark in Russian). It gets a twin LED projector headlights and a front down-tail up sporty stance. The rear also houses the LED horn-shaped tailight. The motorcycle is offered in two shades – red and matte black
