4. Price in India & Expected Price in Bangladesh
The TVS Apache RTX 300 has been launched in India with an aggressive introductory pricing strategy across three variants:
| Variant | Ex-Showroom Price (Delhi, India) |
| Apache RTX 300 Base | ₹ 1,99,000 (Approx. BDT 2,62,000)* |
| Apache RTX 300 Top | ₹ 2,14,000 (Approx. BDT 2,82,000)* |
| Apache RTX 300 BTO (Built-to-Order) | ₹ 2,29,000 (Approx. BDT 3,02,000)* |
*Note: The BDT approximate value is based on a direct currency conversion (₹1 = ~BDT 1.32) and is not the retail price in Bangladesh. This is only to show the scale of the Indian price.
Approximate Price in Bangladesh
Since the TVS Apache RTX 300 is a 300cc motorcycle, its availability in Bangladesh is subject to government approval on higher capacity bikes. However, based on the Indian price and historical pricing trends for premium imported motorcycles in Bangladesh, a competitive retail price could be estimated.
| Estimate | Approximate Retail Price (Bangladesh) |
| TVS Apache RTX 300 (Base/Top) | Tk 4,69,900 – Tk 5,20,000 (Expected) |
Disclaimer: This price is a BikeBD estimate based on the segment, features, and import duties. The final price can only be confirmed once TVS Auto Bangladesh (TVSABL) officially launches the motorcycle after government permission for 300cc bikes.
Final Verdict
The TVS Apache RTX 300 steps in as a highly feature-rich, capable, and aggressively priced adventure tourer. With its new RT-XD4 engine and comprehensive electronics package, it is set to challenge rivals like the KTM 250 Adventure. For Bangladeshi riders, the RTX 300 represents a promising option for long-distance touring and conquering local terrain, provided the 300cc capacity restriction is lifted.
