TVS Motor Company has unveiled its latest engine at MotoSoul 2024. Named the RT-XD4 300, TVS states it has developed this engine completely in-house, at its R&D centre in Hosur, Tamil Nadu. The two-wheeler manufacturer, however, is yet to reveal which of its products will be powered by the new engine.
The new engine from TVS is a liquid-cooled motor, and features four valves with dual-overhead cams. The engine also has a plasma-coated cylinder which reduces friction inside the cylinder head. Other vital additions include a dual oil pump and a split chamber crankcase, a dual cooling jacket cylinder head with water jacket, and a dual breather system. TVS also stated the engine will be available with throttle-by-wire.

In terms of power figures, TVS says the RT-XD4 engine will churn out nearly 34.5 bhp at 9000 rpm and 28.5 Nm of peak torque at 7000 rpm. This is 3 bhp and and nearly 9 Nm lower than the peak power figures of the recently updated TVS Apache RR 310. The engine will be mated to a six-speed gearbox, aided by a slip-and-assist clutch.
