TVS unveils Apache RTR 125 LC with 15 PS engine and 6-speed gearbox at EICMA 2026

TVS Motor has unveiled its new motorcycle, the TVS Apache RTR 125 LC, at EICMA 2026. The bike has been designed for Europe's A1 licence segment. It has a 125 cc liquid-cooled engine, 15 PS of power and a 6-speed gearbox. It is the smallest-engined performance bike in the company's European motorcycle portfolio. Modern features include a KYB USD front fork, a TFT display, Bluetooth connectivity and navigation.

The bike has a 125 cc liquid-cooled, single-cylinder engine with a 4-valve DOHC head. The engine produces 15 PS, or 11 kW, at 9,000 rpm and 12 Nm of torque at 7,000 rpm. It also gets a 6-speed gearbox and an assist and slipper clutch. The engine has been designed keeping in mind the 15 PS power limit set for the A1 licence in Europe.

The Apache RTR 125 LC has a sporty and aggressive look. At the front are a transparent tall windscreen, a rectangular headlamp and LED daytime running lights. Fluorescent yellow body panels and a metallic grey fuel tank give the bike a distinct identity. It also has white hand guards, a tall handlebar, a split seat and a short tail section. At the rear is an LED lighting system divided into three parts.

For suspension, there is a 41 mm KYB USD fork at the front and an adjustable monoshock at the rear. For braking, the front has a radial ByBre calliper with a 300 mm disc, while the rear has a 240 mm disc brake. The bike has 17-inch alloy wheels, with 100/80 tyres at the front and 140/70 at the rear. This gives the bike a sporty road presence.

On technology, it offers a 5-inch TFT instrument console, Bluetooth connectivity, turn-by-turn navigation and full-screen map mirroring. Carrying forward TVS's racing heritage, the bike could help the company increase its presence in the European market.

The company has not said whether the bike will be launched in India. Apache fans in India will therefore have to wait for its arrival.
