TVS shows new 125 cc Apache RTR 125 LC at EICMA 2026

TVS Motor has entered Europe's 125 cc performance motorcycle segment with a new model, the RTR 125 LC. The bike was shown publicly at EICMA 2026, the motorcycle show held in Milan, Italy, on 3 November 2026. The bike is built for riders on A1 licences.

The RTR 125 LC is the smallest performance-focused motorcycle in TVS Motor's European range. It sits below the RTR 310, RR 310, Ronin and RTX 300. The bike is aimed at younger riders and A1 licence holders.

The bike uses a 125 cc liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine with a four-valve DOHC cylinder head. It produces 11 kW, or 14.9 CV, at 9,000 rpm. Peak torque is 12 Nm at 7,000 rpm. That output sits close to the European A1 licence power limit. A six-speed gearbox and an assist-and-slipper clutch are fitted, and the specification points to electronic fuel injection.

The bike has a 41 mm KYB upside-down front fork and an adjustable monoshock at the rear. It also has a connected TFT display, 5 inches in size.

The styling is aggressive for the 125 cc class. A tall transparent windscreen sits above a compact rectangular headlamp. Fluorescent yellow panels cover the front quarter and contrast with a metallic grey tank. The upright handlebar gives a taller riding position than a typical small street motorcycle.

The bike is unlikely to launch in India. TVS already sells the Raider 125 in that segment in the country. Launch plans for other markets, including India, have not been announced.

TVS has not given a European price, a sale date or the bike's brakes in full. Those details have not yet been confirmed.
