TVS has rolled out a fresh software update for its popular naked streetfighter, the Apache RTR 310, bringing in new features and performance tweaks. The update aims to improve the overall riding experience while offering some quality-of-life improvements for users who rely on smart features.
Launched in late 2023, the Apache RTR 310 was TVS’s answer to the growing demand for tech-savvy street bikes. Now, with this update, TVS has shown that it’s paying attention to rider feedback and committed to keeping the bike current through over-the-air (OTA) software support.
What’s in the Update?
The latest software patch, announced in early April 2025, brings some important additions to the DynamicKit-equipped versions of the RTR 310. Here’s what’s new:
- Race Tuned Dynamic Stability Control (RT-DSC):
The most notable feature added in the update is the Race Tuned Dynamic Stability Control system. This includes enhanced traction control and rear-wheel lift-off protection. Essentially, it helps in managing wheel slip more efficiently and offers better stability under hard braking. - Wheelie Control Enhancements:
The update brings refined wheelie control settings, especially useful for riders who frequently switch between city commuting and aggressive riding. This aims to make power delivery smoother during rapid acceleration. - Improved Cornering ABS Calibration:
TVS has tweaked the cornering ABS system, allowing for more precise control while leaning into curves. This is particularly helpful in wet or uneven road conditions where grip is inconsistent. - Glide Through Technology (GTT) Optimisation:
The Glide Through Traffic (GTT) feature, which allows low-speed riding without throttle input, has been optimized for better performance in slow-moving traffic. This could make urban riding feel more relaxed. - UI/UX Enhancements in SmartXonnect System:
Minor changes have also been made to the interface of the SmartXonnect system. This includes smoother animations, faster pairing, and more responsive navigation cues on the display.
Who Gets the Update?
The software update is being pushed only to DynamicKit variants of the RTR 310. Users will receive the update over-the-air, meaning they won’t need to visit the service center. TVS has advised all eligible users to connect their vehicles to the TVS Connect mobile app and follow the instructions provided for installation.
Why This Matters
For a segment that’s becoming increasingly tech-driven, software support is no longer just a nice-to-have—it’s essential. With this update, TVS is signaling that it’s serious about treating its motorcycles like evolving platforms rather than static machines.
Moreover, this move puts pressure on other players in the premium 300cc segment to offer similar OTA functionality, especially in a country like India where rider expectations are rising fast.
What Riders Are Saying
Initial reactions from Apache RTR 310 users on social media and forums have been mostly positive. Many appreciated the addition of traction control and the fine-tuning of ride-assist features. However, a few users expressed concern over installation glitches during the OTA process. TVS has acknowledged the issue and is reportedly working on a fix.

The Bigger Picture
Motorcycle manufacturers in India are gradually embracing software as a means to enhance safety, performance, and rider experience. Updates like this one show how the line between bikes and connected devices is beginning to blur. And for a model like the Apache RTR 310, which already rides on its tech-first image, this update is more than just a bug fix—it’s part of the future.
