The TVS Apache RR 310 Asia OMC racer has been designed and engineered from the ground up. It boasts a 312 cc single-cylinder four-valve liquid-cooled DOHC fuel-injected engine, which is good enough to produce about 38 per cent more power than the stock supersport, the TVS Apache RRR310. This has been achieved with a number of modifications.

It features forged pistons, titanium valves and HLHD cams, RAM air intake system for boosting the top speed, lightweight carbon fibre parts including bodywork, wheels and subframe, Ohlins adjustable and custom-built suspension, Dunlop soft compound radial racing rubber, etc. The TVS Asia OMC is the first-ever road racing championship from an Indian manufacturer on a global level.
