Apache RR 310 gets a superior engine

TVS Apache RR 310 offers more safety facilities
Keeway K300 R is equipped with disc brakes on both wheels, dual-channel ABS, 37mm inverted forks on the front side, and a mono-shock unit on the rear end.

In India, the Keeway K300 R bears a price figure of Rs. 2.65 lakh, while the TVS Apache RR 310 carries a price tag of Rs. 2.72 lakh (both prices, ex-showroom).
